Answer
Electron microscopy provides much higher resolution than light microscopy, and for spiral-shaped bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori, electron microscopy will provide a more accurate assessment of the bacterial type being examined.
Work Step by Step
1. Electron microscopy provides higher resolution than light microscopy.
2. This means that the specimens being studied under the microscope can be examined in greater detail, and identified more accurately.
3. Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped bacteria that is difficult to examine under light microscopy.
4. To properly identify the bactera and thus diagnose Maryanne's condition, electron microscopy was required.
