The compound microscope is a light microscope that uses light to "see" microbes. Viruses are too small.
The electron microscope uses electrons to "see" microbes or viruses.

What are the two types of microscopes and explain one differences?
The to types of microscope are as following : 1. Simple microscope 2. compound microscope differences between these both is as following: simple microscope has one Len but compound microscope has two Len.
List three differences between the dissecting microscope and the compound microscope?
1. compound microscope has higher magnification power 2. Dissecting is used for studying 'big' objects 3. compound is for looking at cells, etc.
What is the difference between optical and electron microscope?
The electron microscope is stronger than the optical microscope Electron microscope use electrons not light waves
What is the difference between a compound microscope and an electron microscope?
Compound microscopes (also called compound light microscopes) employ light and an array of glass lenses to magnify an object. (This is distinguished from a simple microscope of one lens.) An electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to magnify an object. The lensing system employs electric and magnetic fields and is specialized for applications requiring much higher magnification. See related links.
Explain the difference between a light scanning and electron microscope?
A scanning electron microscope will scan the surface and an electron microscope looks inside.
What is the difference of a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope?
A light microscope uses visible light to magnify and view specimens, offering lower magnification and resolution compared to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) which uses a focused beam of electrons to image the sample, providing higher magnification and resolution. SEM can produce 3D images of the sample surface while light microscopes typically provide 2D images.
What are the differences between a light microscope a compound microscope a stereoscopic light microscope a transmission electron microscope and a scanning electron microscope?
A light microscope uses a series of lenses to focus light allowing small objects to appear larger. A compound microscope works as a light microscope except it uses more than two lenses to increase magnification. A stereoscopic light microscope can be simple (one lens) or compound (more than one lens) and uses two eyepieces.A transmission electron microscope requires the object be in a vacuum and stained (usually with a heavy metal). The microscope fires electrons at the target and measures the diffraction allowing for a computer to generate an image.A scanning electron microscope uses an electron beam to scan the target. It then generates an image by analyzing the variety of signals produced such as secondary electrons released, electromagnetic radiation, and electron deflection.Also an electron microscope can observe a centriole, a tiny structure found in animal cells. Also to break down what a compound light microscope does is that it uses light and a curved piece of glass to make tiny structures appear larger. We can also see many other objects throw a microscope by taking a piece of cut Glass taking for example a piece of string and adding a drop of water then adding a small plastic thing and putting it under a COMPOUND LIGHT MICROSCOPE!!!!!!
How would you distinguish between the light microscope and the electron microscope?
Light microscopes can use live cells and are much smaller than electron microscopes
What is the difference between a simple and compound microscopre?
simple microscope only have 1 lens and compound microscope uses 2 lens \
What is the difference between microscope and compound microscope?
A stereo microscope shows two slides side by side at the same time and is used for comparison. A compound microscope only shows one slide.
What way does a compound microscope differ from a simple microscope?
A compound microscope consists of several lenses operating together, whereas a simple microscope is one lens, like a magnifying glass. A compound microscope gives higher magnification and also better resolution than a simple microscope.
What is the difference between stereo microscope and compound microscope?
A stereo microscope shows two slides side by side at the same time and is used for comparison. A compound microscope only shows one slide.
