Why must you use a thin specimen when viewing with a light microscope?

For a light transmission microscope, a thin sample is needed in order for the light to pass through the sample from the light source on the other side. However, you can use a dissection microscope (another type of light microscope) which illuminates the sample from above, eliminating the need for a thin sample size. As the name suggests, this is normally used in dissections, and is of low magnification.
