Best Answer

The price changes according to the type of microscope ; compound, electron, etc. It depends on how powerful it is. Believe it or not, an electron microscope can cost up to $150,00.00. However, you can get a compound microscope [ 10x , 30x , 50x ] for about $140.00.

As little as $50 and as much as $5000, depending on the optics.

For most professional purposes you get a good one for $500.

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.

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.
