The advantages and disadvantages of the light microscope relate to light, magnification and resolution. Light microscopes magnify visible light--an obvious advantage, since this is what our eyes can see. Magnification (how large an object appears) and resolution (the clarity of details) are both limited when using light microscopes.

What is a microscope in science?
There is a compound light microscope, an scannignn electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope.
What kind of microscope has a tube with lenses a stage and a light source?
compound light microscope
What instrument uses light and lenses is used to view cells?
An optical microscope uses light and one or more lenses to view cells. An optical microscope with two or more lenses is called a compound optical microscope.
What is the difference between ordinary microscope and electron microscope?
Magnification and resolution is in light microscope is about 500x and 0.2micro metres respectively than human eye.In e.microscope magnification is about 200,000x and resolution is 0.0005micro metres. You cannot observe live specimen through electron microscope. Lenses in light microscope are glass while e.microscope use magnetic lenses. E.microscope is relatively very larger than light microscope. You need special knowledge to handle electron microscope. You can observe through naked eye in e.microscope. A beam of electrons is sent through specimen in e.microscope.In light microscope a beam of light is sent. Electron microscope is very complex relative to light microscope.
What are the two different types of microscopes?
Light microscope Electron microscope
What is An advantage of a compound light microscope over a single lens microscope?
A compound light microscope is able to provide more clarity and detail than a single lens microscope, which is its advantage. Compound refers to the microscope having more than one lens.
What are the advantages and disadvatges of using camcorder?
Advantage: You can make your own movies. Disadvantage: You might film your mates doing something embarassing.
What major advantage does a transmission electron microscope have over a compound light microscope?
The Compund light microscope allows people to view living cells. With the electron light microscope peole can only view dead cells but with very high detail. The electron microscope is also much more expensive than a compound ligh microscope. The compound light microscope is also much easier to transport from place to place, as the electron microscope is not.
What is disadvatges of precast?
lol
What came first electron microscope or light microscope?
compound light microscope - cell theory - electron microscope
How does an electron microscope differs from a light microscope?
The light microscope use the visible light; the electron microscope use an electrons beam.
What is another name for the light microscope?
Another name for the light microscope is the optical microscope.
What is a light microscope that has two more lenses?
A compound microscope
What microscope takes advantage of of refractive indexes of cell structure?
The microscope that takes advantage of differences in the refractive indexes of cell structure is the phase contrast microscope. The microscope that is used to see internal structure of cells in a natural state is also a phase contrast microscope.
What microscope has the word light in it's name?
A light microscope
What is another name for ordinary microscope?
A common term for an ordinary microscope is a light microscope, which uses visible light to illuminate and magnify specimens for observation.
What does a light source do on microscope?
