  • they are relatively smaller, electron ones are bigger
  • they are easy to use
  • they allow you to see coloured images, electron ones don't
  • you can observe live specimen, specimen has to be dead with electron microscopes
i was trying to view the answer in relation to transmmission

What advantages and disadvantages does a light microscope have in comparison with an electron microscope?

A light microscope is advantageous as it is more affordable, widely available, and can observe living specimens. However, it has lower resolution and magnification compared to an electron microscope, limiting its ability to visualize smaller structures in detail. Electron microscopes have higher resolution and magnification capabilities but are more expensive, have limited availability, and can only observe dead specimens due to the high-energy electron beams used.


What are two advantages of the electron microscope to the light microscope?

The two big advantages are: 1. Magnification: the electron microscope can be used to visualize individual molecules and even atoms! 2. Resolution: The ability of a microscope to distinguish two closely lying points as separate entities.

Electron microscopes use a beam of light to produce a magnified image?

Actually, electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of light to produce a magnified image. This allows for much higher magnification and resolution compared to optical microscopes.
