There are a variety of microscope types, but two large and different types are electron microscopes and optical microscopes. Optical microscopes are cheaper, and are commercially available for even you to buy. They work with lenses, and in many cases, oil emulsions. Electron microscopes work by bombarding specimens with electron beams. They are significantly more expensive than optical microscopes, but give a better quality image and come with vastly superior magnification levels, due to the fact that electrons have wavelengths circa 100,000 shorter than photons, or light. This enables you to see things in much greater detail.

What are the two main types of electronic microscopes?
Biologists use two main types of electron microscopes. Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) shine a beam of electrons through a thin specimen. Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) scan a narrow beam of electrons back and forth across the surface of a specimen.
Why is it important to develop different types of microscopes?
Because you just have two
