Question

What's an advantage of using a light microscope instead of an electron microscope

Answer 1

While light microscopy magnifies objects up to 2000x (two-thousand times), electron microscopy is a much higher resolution study of microscopic objects, magnifying objects up to 10,000x. However, light microscopes do offer some advantages over electron microscopes:

1.Ease of use in a laboratory

2.The ability to keep specimens alive for extended periods

3.Colors images - Images can be rendered in a variety of colors in light microscopy,
