A. Sectioning of cell followed by phase contrast microscopy.

B. A simulation of 3D picture following confocal microscopy.

C. Optical sectioning and observing each section.

D. Freeze fracturing followed by Scanning Electron Microscopy.

Suppose a person A is at the North-East corner of a square (see the figure below). From that point he moves along the diagonal and after covering 1/3^rd portion of the diagonal, he goes to his left and after sometime he stops, rotates 90° clockwise and moves straight. After a few minutes he stops, rotates 180° anticlockwise. Towards which direction he is facing now?

• North-East   

• North-West

• South-East
