NEED HELP ASAP!!!!<br> Name one advantage of light microscopes<br> over electron microscopes.
Maslowich

Answer:

The biggest advantage is that they have a higher resolution and are therefore also able of a higher magnification (up to 2 million times). Light microscopes can show a useful magnification only up to 1000-2000 times. This is a physical limit imposed by the wavelength of the light.
