How are light microscopes and electron microscopes are different?
Light microscopes use light zo you can see close up but they are not as powerful. Electron microscopes use of coarse electrons and thats when you see the really close up of cells.
Can you see atoms with a microscopes?
you would have to havean electron microscope
What is the major difference between the light microscope and the electron microscope?
Electron microscopes can see much closer than a light microscope, and they use electrons to paint a picture of what the object looks like. Giving a very detailed and small picture that can be viewed on a monitor.
What size particles can a light microscope see?
the best light microscopes are limited to magnifications of 2000 times.
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.

Why do scientist use electrons for microscopes instead of light?
Scientists use electron microscopes rather than electron microscopes due to the cause of electron microscopes are better at looking deeper into the object you want to see.
What is the difference in the way light microscropes and electron microscopes produce images?
There compared by frist the electron micrscope the electron microscope you can cut into a cell (any) and there huge they can zoom into about 2000X.The light microscope has a light to see [other one doesn't need] and light one can only zoom to 20X.
Why are electron microscopes capable of revealing details much smaller than those seen through light microscopes?
Electron microscopes are capable of revealing details as much as 1000 times smaller than those visible in light microscopes because the wavelengths of electrons are much shorter than those of light.
How do light microscopes defer from electron microscopes?
electron microscopes can help you see very small small organisms. Unlike a light microscope A light microscope uses visible light, focussed by lenses. An electron microscope uses beams of electrons, focussed by magnetic coils. The electron microscope can indeed image smaller objects than an optical (light) microscope. Both can image objects smaller than can be seen with a magnifying glass.
What have modern microscopes made it possible to do?
The microscopes in our days make it easy to see the things that the naked eye can not. Light microscopes see objects down to about 500 nm. A nanometre = 1 metre/ 1000 000 000 Modern microscopes allow scientists to view individual cells but not see well the organelles in them. Electron microscopes are used to get details of organelles. An atom cannot be viewed through a microscope as it is about 1000 times less than the wavelength of visible light. An electron microscope can give the reflection of objects down to about a nanometre or slightly smaller. This is almost possible to view larger atoms.
What type of microscope can be used to study a viruses?
As viruses cannot be seen with the optical microscope, electron microscopes are used. All the "lenses" in an electron microscope are magnetic fields produced by electromagnets and/or electrostatic fields produced by electrically charged metal plates and/or rings.
What kind of microscope is found in most classrooms?
Optical, though to see smaller organelles and structures in higher resolution an electron microscope may be necessary.
What kind what microscopes would be better to see a virus. your options are compound light microscope Transmission Eltron Microscope Scanning Electron Microscope?
electron microscope
Why are electron microscopes capable of revealing details much smaller that those seem through light microscope?
The resolving power of a microscope is a linear function of the wavelength - An optical microscope's wavelength is that of light, and the electron microscope's - that of vibrating electrons. As the electron microscope's wavelength is about 100,000 times smaller than that of light, we get a much better resolving power.
