No, they use lenses. :)

What do electron microscopes use to focus and magnify image?
Electron beams.
How can microscopes see small objects?
Your phrasing is a bit sloppy. Microscopes do not see anything. People can use microscopes to enable them to see extremely small objects. Microscopes use lenses to bend light in such a way as to magnify images. A microscope is more powerful than a magnifying glass because more than one lens is used, in series. The light is bent, and then bent again, for even more bending.
What objects use mirrors?
microscope
What microscope uses light to magnify?
None, light microscopes merely use light to allow the viewer to visually percieve the specimen.
How are light microscopes different from electronic microscopes?
Light microscopes use ordinary light (either reflected naturally or from an artificial source such as built-in illumination) in conjunction with very powerful optical lenses to view tiny objects that are not visible to the naked eye. But some extremely small objects, such as viruses, are too small to be seen even using light microscopes. Electron microscopes solve the problem by firing a beam of electrons on to the object to create an imprinted image, which is then magnified and viewed on a screen- we can't magnify the image of the object itself, but we can magnify the imprint of it made by a continuous bombardment of it by electron beams and get this copied from the screen. Electron microscopes were first developed by the Germans during WW2, possibly with the aim of developing biological weapons- the Allies captured the technology after the fall of Hitler and developed it for the benefit of all humankind.
When would you use an electron microscope?
when you need to magnify much smaller objects then optical microscopes
How are a microscope and a telescope different?
Both microscopes and telescopes use lenses to magnify objects. But, telescopes are large and collect light from stars and planets to magnify them, while microscopes are small, can sit on a desktop, get light from the room or a small builtin light and are used to magnify tiny objects.
How are a microscope and a telescope alike?
Both microscopes and telescopes use lenses to magnify objects. But, telescopes are large and collect light from stars and planets to magnify them, while microscopes are small, can sit on a desktop, get light from the room or a small builtin light and are used to magnify tiny objects.
How are a microscope and telescope alike and different?
Both microscopes and telescopes use lenses to magnify objects. But, telescopes are large and collect light from stars and planets to magnify them, while microscopes are small, can sit on a desktop, get light from the room or a small builtin light and are used to magnify tiny objects.
Before microscopes were invented what did scientists use to magnify objects or organisms?
magnifying glasses of outrageously high power!
What the microscope can not do?
Microscopes cannot view viruses as viruses are smaller than the wavelength of visible light (about 0.2 microns). To view extremely tiny objects, scientists use electron microscopes. Electron microscopes use electron beams instead of light to magnify objects less than 1nm!
Which microscope use lenses to magnify?
microscopes use the lens
What is the use of telescope?
many such as magnifyingThey take objects that are at a distance and magnify them using mirrors and/or lenses.the use of a telescope is so you can see in to space clearly
What do electron microscopes use instead of light to magnify?
it is the neutrons
What do microscopes telescopes and binoculars all use to magnify images?
lenses
