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.
