Detailed explanation-1: -The power of the light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light and can magnify something up to 2, 000 times. Electron microscopes, on the other hand, can produce much more highly magnified images because the beam of electrons has a smaller wavelength which creates images of higher resolution.

Detailed explanation-2: -When it comes to what we consider “light” microscopes, electron microscopes provide the greatest magnification.

Detailed explanation-3: -Electron microscopes have an exceedingly high magnification and resolution superior to any other microscope, and this is made possible by two things-the microscope’s special lens system, and its use of electrons.

Detailed explanation-4: -The magnifications that TEMs offer are also much higher compared to SEMs. TEM users can magnify their samples by more than 50 million times, while for the SEM, this is limited to 1–2 million times.
