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.
---- You would use the light microscope. The electron microscope would be unnecessary in this situation, due to its high magnification levels.
electric microscope
When you want to lift or hold the microscope
A telescope is the instrument an astronomer uses to study matter in space.
