(AIIMS-2009)
Solution
The dissecting microscope allows to view $3D$ images up to $50x$ magnification. It is commonly used in dissections. The ultracentrifuge spins liquids and separates the contents by their density, microdissection instruments are used to manipulate microscopic organelles (such as transferring nuclei), and electron microscopes can magnify an image up to $250,000x$ and are used to see microscopic details
