Answer:

Letter A, Electron microscope

Step-by-step explanation:

The electron microscope is used to visualize high-resolution images of biological specimens. It used to see in detail very small cells, organelles, cells tissues, molecular complexes, etc. The ribosome is a complex molecule made of proteins where the translation of proteins is made, it is very small that can be seen in detail using the electron microscope.
