To see atoms or other extremely small things that you can not see in a light microscope. Even with an electron microscope, atoms are still barely visible.
An Electron Microscope is used to study the contents of a nucleus.
transmission electron microscope
Electron microscope
a transmission electron microscope
Scanning electron microscope-An electron microscope that forms a three-dimensional image on a cathode-ray tube by moving a beam of focused electrons across an object and reading both the electrons scattered by the object and the secondary electrons produced by it.

The light microscope use the visible light; the electron microscope use an electrons beam.
A scanning electron microscope will scan the surface and an electron microscope looks inside.
The electron microscope is stronger than the optical microscope Electron microscope use electrons not light waves
An Electron Microscope uses electrons to magnify objects.
An Electron Microscope is used to study the contents of a nucleus.
Ribosomes are very small.So have to use an electron microscope.
You would use an electron microscope to view a Golgi apparatus.
---- You would use the light microscope. The electron microscope would be unnecessary in this situation, due to its high magnification levels.
There are several type of microscopes, mainly, the one that we use in lab is a simple light microscope or a compound microscope. Then we have the phase contrast microscope, fluorescent microscope, electron microscope (transmission electron microscope [TEM] and scanning electron microscope [SEM]), confocal microscope and even dissection microscope the one which we use during dissections.
