Disadvantage of the light microscopes

Light microscopes have a lower resolution because the refracted light waves spread out which make the image a bit blurred. Also, light microscopes can’t magnify as well as election microscopes. To observe internal structures with a light microscope, you usually need to use dyes. Hope this helped!

there are two answers on endgenuity

1.) Light microscopes can only magnify up to 2000 times the original size.

2.) It is difficult to enhance the contrast between cells and their surroundings to see cell structure and movement with a light microscope.
