Question

What is the difference between a compound light microscope and a transmission electron microscope?

Answer 1

compound light microscopes use multiple different light sources and transmission electron microscopes use multiple electric sources      -ΔΔΒ-

Answer 2

The compound light microscope: uses light to form detailed and large images.

A transmission electron microscope: uses a beam of an electron to form images.

Step-by-step explanation:

compound light microscope

1. light microscope light is used as an illuminating source.
2. preparation of specimen require few minutes or hours.
3. Magnifying power is 1000X.
4. In this live and dead both specimens can be observed
5. lenses are made of glasses like condenser, eyepiece, and objective.
6. The colored image is observed.
7. Vacumn system is absent.
8. colored dyes are used to stained the specimen.
9. it helps to study the internal structure.

Transmission electron microscope

1. The beam of the electron is used as an illuminating source.
2. To prepare a specimen it takes almost a day.
3. Magnifying power is 10,00,000X.
4. In this only dead specimens are observed.
5. lenses are made of electromagnetic.
6. black and white image is seen.
7. Vacumn system is present.
8. heavy metals are used to coat the specimen.
9. It is used to study the external structure.
