objects smaller than 0.2 micrometers, or about one-fiftieth the diameter of a typical cell.
The four main types of microscopes are the Light Microscope, Electron Microscope, the Transition electron microscope and Scanning electron microscope.
Two types of electron microscopes are the scanning electron microscope, or SEM, and transmission electron microscope, or TEM.
There are many. Simple microscope, compound microscope, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, Transmission Electron Microscope, Dissection microscope, etc,but all together there are about 20 different types of microscopes.
Light microscopes are used to study living organism and to watch and analyze their structures. Electron microscopes use a dead specimen and are able to observe structures in great detail and with much much higher magnification. +++The electron microscope has a far higher definition and magnification than an optical microscope could achieve, but as you say you could not use it to study a living organism.

five types of microscopes are: A compound light microscope,the stereo microscope,the electron microscope,a simple microscope(similar to a magnifying glass,and a compound microscope.
compound and electron microscopes
Compound microscopes can be found in most biology and science classrooms. They are electrically operated and use light to enhance the image of a cell. They will have multiple lenses for viewing.Dissecting microscopes are also known as stereo microscopes. They have low magnification and are also light powered. These microscopes can view objects larger than what a compound microscope is able to handle, in three dimensions.Scanning Electron Microscopes use electrons instead of light to create an image. These microscopes produce three-dimensional images with high resolution and magnification. They also have a larger depth of focus.Transmission Electron Microscopes use electrons instead of light to create an image. The material prepared must be very thin. The beams of electrons that pass through it give the viewer high magnification and resolution. These give two-dimensional images.Electron microscopes are one of the most advanced microscopes used today. This microscope is powered by a beam of electrons with very short wavelengths. These electrons strike objects that come in its path and helps increase the resolution of the microscope. The electron microscope is one of the types of microscopes used to study cells like tiny viral cells as well as larger molecules.
