Magnification is how large a microscopic image is compared to real life. An electron microscope is more advantageous over a light microscope for use with very small objects because electron microscope provide higher resolution and magnification. A light microscope such as dissecting and compound light microscopes are use for low magnification. examples of electron microscope are Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). A SEM however offer 2 million as a maximum level of magnification whereas TEM offers up to 50 million. therefore TEM gives the highest amount of magnification.
