The correct answer is option 1: Electron Microscope.

An electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses a beam of electrons instead of visible light to magnify the image of an object. This allows for much higher magnifications compared to a compound or dissecting microscope, which use visible light. The use of electrons instead of light also provides a much higher resolution, allowing for the visualization of smaller details in the object being observed.

In an electron microscope, the object is not visible to the naked eye because the electrons used to create the image are not within the visible light spectrum. Instead, the image is formed by detecting the interactions between the electrons and the object. This image is then displayed on a screen or captured by a digital camera for observation and analysis.

It is important to note that while an electron microscope provides high magnification and resolution, it requires a complex setup and specialized training to operate. Additionally, the object being observed needs to be prepared in a specific way for electron microscopy, as the high-energy electron beam can damage delicate samples.
