When would you use a light microscope instead of an electron microscope?

light microscope make it possible to study dead organisms and their parts, and to observe some tiny organisms and cells while they are still alive. TEMs a type of electron microscope can reveal a wealth of detail inside the cell.SEMs another type of electron microscope produce realistic, and often dramatic,three-dimensional images of the surfaces of objects. however electron microscopes only work with preserved dead and dehydrated specimens.

∙ 9y agoBoth microscopes magnify, but they do it in different ways. The electron microscopehas greater magnification and better resolution because it uses electrons to create an image. The light microscope works like a refracting microscope in that there is a mirror at the bottom that reflects light rays up to the object through a hole in the stage.

This answer above is a careless one that is not correct. I have this question on a homework assignment and I need help on it. Haha! Sorry I am no help.

What kind what microscopes would be better to see a virus. your options are compound light microscope Transmission Eltron Microscope Scanning Electron Microscope?
electron microscope
What type of microscope would you need to see detailed images of an internal structure of a bacterium a light microscope or an electron microscope?
Bacteria are generally very small - so you would need an electron microscope to see them in any detail. Under a light microscope you would probably only be able to see the overall shape.
What type of microscope would be best to use to look at different cells or organelles?
scanning electron microscope
Would A virologist would likely be able to see viral particles with a light microscope?
No, an electron microscope is needed to see a virus.
Which type of microscope would be the best tool to use to view the surface of a bacterial cell And why?
A scanning electron microscope would be the best choice because the electron microscope can achieve a much greater resolution than that obtained with the light microscope because the wavelength of electrons is shorter than that of light.
Would you use the electron microscope or the compound microscope to look at cork?
---- You would use the light microscope. The electron microscope would be unnecessary in this situation, due to its high magnification levels.

electron microscope
How would you distinguish between the light microscope and the electron microscope?
Light microscopes can use live cells and are much smaller than electron microscopes
A glass slide would be used with a A.scanning electron microscope. B.Transmission electron microscope. C.magnifying lens. D.compound light microscope.?

The nucleus of a cell can be viewed through what kind of microscope?
An Electron Microscope is used to study the contents of a nucleus.
Would you use a stereomicroscope or compound light microscope or electron microscope to see a virus?
A virus of 50nm would be too small to see unless an electron microscope was used because it has greater resolving power and a resolution up to .1nm. A microscope using compound light as the means of illumination could not resolve better than approx. 200nms.
