The Electron microscope itself is fairly safe to use. Once the samples have been prepared, there is little risk for harm. Some say you should wear gloves and eye protection, but this is more of a precaution. The main cause for concern would be that whoever is using the microscope should know what they are doing.

What do things that are to small for a light microscope get viewed by?

Things that are too small for a light microscope, such as viruses and molecules, can be viewed using an electron microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of light to magnify objects at a much higher resolution than light microscopes.


Which structures in the nucleus can you identify using an electron microscope that you cannot identify using a light microscope?

Using an electron microscope allows you to identify structures within the nucleus, such as nuclear pores, nuclear lamina, and nucleoli, which are not visible under a light microscope due to their smaller size and lack of contrast in light microscopy. Additionally, electron microscopy can reveal fine details of chromatin organization and nuclear envelope structure that are not easily resolved with a light microscope.
