Two reasons. Firstly, charges (electrons in this case) congregate near edges (of the sample) will repel incoming electrons more so than a flat surface. Secondly, electrons hitting an edge are more likely reflected at an off angle away from the return-electron detector, weakening the intensity of the image there.

Actually, the image doesn't form in the microscope. The image forms on your retinas. The microscope focuses light in such a way that it comes together correctly on your retinas.

What are the characteristics of the image formed by simple microscope?

The image formed by a simple microscope is virtual, upright, and magnified. It is formed by the lens of the microscope and is viewed through the eyepiece. The image may appear slightly distorted towards the edges due to aberrations in the lens.

Is compound microscope and electron microscope same?

An optical microscope of any type uses the light passing through glass lenses. A compound microscope is simply one that uses 2 or more lenses in series. The image is formed normally either in the observer's eye or in a camera fitted to the instrument, or in certain types may be projected onto a screen. An electron microscope passes a finely-focussed beam of electrons through the sample, and creates the resulting image on a photographic film or electronic detectors. The instrument is used to resolve objects that are far smaller than are possible with optical microscopes.

Ion is formed when an atom loses an electron?

Yes, an ion is formed when an atom either loses or gains an electron, resulting in a net positive or negative charge, respectively. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion, known as a cation.
