Best Answer

A good light microscope, perhaps used and from a college, could cost you $500.00 and I would not spend much less, as many light microscopes priced cheaply are no more than child's playthings.

An electron microscope can cost US$40000 to US$150,000 depending on the size, quality, lenses and technology used. The more the power the more is the cost.

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.
