Light microscope uses glass lenses. It uses a beam of light to illuminate the object. Internal vacuum is not required.


How do light microscopes differ from election microscope?

a light microscope uses a lamp underr the microscope and an electron microscope sends a beam of electrons down to act like a magnet to suppl light to the object.

What in a microscope uses a beam of visible light passing through one or more lenses to magnify an object?

No, a beam of electrons is used by an electron scanning microscope. A light microscope uses light waves either reflected off the surface of the object under study, or passed through the object from beneath. Some people might consider a light wave as a type of electron beam, but for the purposes of microscopy, the ESM is capable of far greater magnification than the LM.

What does electronic microscope use instead of light?

It uses an electron beam. An electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses an electron beam to magnify and illuminate a specimen. An electron microscope has greater resolving power than a light microscope and can reveal the structure of smaller objects because electrons have wavelengths about 100,000 times shorter than visible light photons. They can achieve better than 50 pm resolution and magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x whereas ordinary, non-confocal light microscopes are limited by diffraction to about 200 nm resolution and useful magnifications below 2000x.


To see objects smaller that those that can be resolved by a light microscope. You usually use microscope's that employ a beam of?

You can use an electron microscope to view objects smaller than light photons, which uses electrons as the name suggests
