Hi there,
i am a first year microbiology student and couldn't give you the most in depth answer, but...most microscopes have four different objective magnification lenses; 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x.
High and dry is referring to your 40x objective lense, because it's the highest magnification you can look through a microscope before you should put oil on your slide. Putting oil over your slide at 40x or lower simply blurs your scope vision whilst placing a drop of oil at 100x increases the amount of light and resolution you see due to the affects of refraction. It makes your view clearer.
I hope that helps.

What major advantage does a transmission electron microscope have over a compound light microscope?
The Compund light microscope allows people to view living cells. With the electron light microscope peole can only view dead cells but with very high detail. The electron microscope is also much more expensive than a compound ligh microscope. The compound light microscope is also much easier to transport from place to place, as the electron microscope is not.
