What major advantage does a transmission electron microscope have over a compound light microscope?

Answer 1

The Compund light microscope allows people to view living cells. With the electron light microscope peole can only view dead cells but with very high detail. The electron microscope is also much more expensive than a compound ligh microscope. The compound light microscope is also much easier to transport from place to place, as the electron microscope is not.

Answer 2

well i think that the disadvantage of the transmission electron microscope over the compound microscope is that it is way too large whereas the transmission electron microscope is an average size.also it is way too expensive.

Answer 3

Electron microscope: These types of microscopes is one of the most advanced and important types of microscopes with the highest magnifying capacity. In electron microscopes electrons are used to illuminate the tiniest particles. Electron microscope is a much powerful tool in comparison to light microscopes.

Answer 4

much higher resolution than a light microscope, greater magnification

Answer 5

The transmission electron microscope's major advantage over the compound light microscope is its ability to magnify images to a much greater degree.

Answer 6

You can look at things of smaller magnitude using an electron microscope.

Answer 7

The major advantage of electron microscopes are that they can view nonliving objects. They can also produce better images, along with a higher zoom.

Answer 8

an elecron microscope can zoom in on the object further than the light microscope

Answer 9

cost size and mass
