Answer: Using an EM (electron microscope) you can look INSIDE a cell and take photos. This is different to an ordinary (or Light microscope) where you generally only see the outside of the cells - or at best can only see vague shapes inside the cell. Answer: The scanning electron microscope provides a number of advantages over an optical microscope. Primarily this centers around the fact that the wave lengths used are much smaller than the wavelengths of light. What you can see is, in par,t dependent on the relative size of the object and wavelength of the light you are using. For very small objects, like individual atoms, light just wont work. Secondly the electron microscope can be fitted out with equipment and analytical sensors to identify the atomic composition of materials in the field of view. These Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) are extremely useful in identifying trace contaminants. The standard microscope still has advantages. It can detect the polarizing capacity of organic compounds, it is cheap and easy to use, it can be used in the analysis of stained samples in microbiology, it can use transmitted light and reflected light to examine an object. A major advantage is that the surface of the viewed object does not have to be prepared by being covered with a very thin layer of metal to permit viewing.

There is a compound light microscope, an scannignn electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope.
Stereomicroscope, Compound Microscope, Phase-contrast microscope, electron microscope, Scanning-electron microscope, Transmission electron microscope, Confocal-scanning microscope. THESE ARE JUST SOME. :)
The four main types of microscopes are the Light Microscope, Electron Microscope, the Transition electron microscope and Scanning electron microscope.

The electron microscope can magnify by a larger factor than an optical microscope can, thereby enabling us to see even smaller objects.

The Compund light microscope allows people to view living cells. With the electron light microscope peole can only view dead cells but with very high detail. The electron microscope is also much more expensive than a compound ligh microscope. The compound light microscope is also much easier to transport from place to place, as the electron microscope is not.
An electron microscope has a much higher magnifying power and resolution than a regular light microscope. One can visualize molecules and even atoms using an electron microscope. This is not possible with a light microscope
you can view these nuts better
None can. They have to be seen using a electron microscope.
The Electron Microscope
An Electron Microscope is used to study the contents of a nucleus.
light microscope is the simplest, in manufacturing and using
scanning electron microscope
It is cheaper and used to observe larger objects. Electron microscopes look at much smaller things such as atoms.
