Microscopes use light to illuminate the stage where you place a slide for viewing. Without this light, you would be unable to see much of anything.

What is a transmission electron microscope used for?

The transmission electron microscope operates on the same principle as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What you can see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. Transmission electron microscopes use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with light microscope.
