Astronomer's are people (scientists) who study celestial bodies. So by profession an astronomer uses a telescope and not a microscope.
I'm studying to become an astronomer.
The light microscope use the visible light; the electron microscope use an electrons beam.
We use light microscope because it is better for our eyes!!
compound microscope
when you carrying a microscope you should use your hands
We would normally use a microscope to do this.
There are several type of microscopes, mainly, the one that we use in lab is a simple light microscope or a compound microscope. Then we have the phase contrast microscope, fluorescent microscope, electron microscope (transmission electron microscope [TEM] and scanning electron microscope [SEM]), confocal microscope and even dissection microscope the one which we use during dissections.
electric microscope
When you want to lift or hold the microscope
---- You would use the light microscope. The electron microscope would be unnecessary in this situation, due to its high magnification levels.

A telescope is the instrument an astronomer uses to study matter in space.
