Which is true about a compound light microscope?

• allow light to pass through the specimen

• shines a beam of electrons through the specimen

• use two lenses to form an image

Which is true about Electron Light Microscopes?

• allow light to pass through the specimen

• shines a beam of electrons through/over the surface of the specimen
