Electron microscope gives a greater magnification. Instead of lenses, the electron microscope uses magnets to aim a beam of electrons at thin slices of cells.
A light microscope does not have as good as a magnification and resolution as a electron mircroscope does. A microscope as a curved lens, so the light bounces off of it and makes the small object larger.

How are light microscopes and electron microscopes are different?
Light microscopes use light zo you can see close up but they are not as powerful. Electron microscopes use of coarse electrons and thats when you see the really close up of cells.
Which of the following is a lens found on electron microscopes but not on light microscopes?
Projector Lens
How would you distinguish between the light microscope and the electron microscope?
Light microscopes can use live cells and are much smaller than electron microscopes
What is the main difference between compound light microscopes and electron microscopes?
light microscopes direct light onto the slide and magnify it, light microscopes also have a high and low power objective lens which can magnify up to 10, 40, 43 and 100 times total magnification whilst electron microscopes shoot electrons at the slide which give more detail and accuracy but the disadvantage is it can't view objects in color. electron microscopes can magnify up to 500.000 times total magnification.Light microscopes aren't as strong as an electron microscope in respect to zooming power. The specimen can remain alive in light microscope but for electron microscopes, preparation of the slides will kill the specimen.
How are light microscopes and electron microscopes alike?
They r alike because they both are able to have the three zooms to different levels and they both focus on small mircoscopic organisms.

What is an advantage of light microscopes compared to electron microscopes is that light microscopes?
Light microscopes allow you to view living specimens and electron microscopes do not allow this.

What is the difference between electron microscopes?
Electron microscopes and what ... Light microscopes produce magnified images by focusing visible light rays. Electron microscopes produce magnified images by focusing beams of electrons
Contrast the way light microscopes and electron microscopes magnify objects?
Sample illumination is achieved in different ways in a light and electron microscope.In a light microscope, the sample is illuminates with light (photon energy)In an electron microscope, the sample is illuminated by a beam of electrons.Devon
What is the difference in the way light microscopes and electron electron microscopes produce images?
light microscopes allow light to pass through the specimen and use two lenses to form an image. Electron microscopes use beams of electrons, rather than light, to produce images.
