Detailed explanation-1: -Inexpensive to buy and operate. Relatively small. Both living and dead specimens can be viewed. Little expertise is required in order to set up and use the microscope. The original colour of the specimen can be viewed. 10-Dec-2018
Detailed explanation-2: -Though some high-end light microscopes can cost upwards of $1, 000, there are many high-quality options available for far less. You can easily find a decent light microscope for under $100. For a professional-quality light microscope, you can expect to spend $200-$400.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monocular microscopes are easier to use and generally cheaper but binocular microscopes can be more comfortable for longer periods in the lab.
Detailed explanation-4: -Advantage: Light microscopes have high resolution. Electron microscopes are helpful in viewing surface details of a specimen. Disadvantage: Light microscopes can be used only in the presence of light and are costly. Electron microscopes uses short wavelength of electrons and hence have lower magnification.
