Why is it important for a specimen viewed under the microscope to be thin?

A specimen being viewed under a microscope should be thin so that light can pass through the specimen. The thinner it is the brighter it will be. A thick specimen will block the light and all you'll get is a dark grey image.
Also, more detail can be seen in a thin specimen because there will not be parts in front of each other, blocking the view.
