The same plant cells were viewed by a student using an electron microscope and a light microscope.
The electron microscope used a magnification of $ \times 1000$.
The light microscope used a $ \times 10$ eyepiece lens and a $ \times 100$ objective lens.
The student concluded that the image of the plant cell obtained using the electron microscope was clearer and more detailed than the image obtained using the light microscope.
Which explanation supports this conclusion?
1 )
The electron microscope had a poorer resolution than the light microscope, but was better able to distinguish between two separate points.
The magnification used in the two microscopes was the same, but the electron microscope had a better resolution than the light microscope.
3 )
The student used the electron microscope at a higher magnification than the light microscope which led to an improved resolution.
4 )
The two microscopes had the same resolution, but the magnification used in the electron microscope gave an image that was ten times larger than the light microscope.
