GCSE Biology - What Is The Difference Between Light And Electron Microscopes? #6

The video tutorial explains the differences between light and electron microscopes. Light microscopes are small, easy to use, and affordable, making them suitable for classroom use. However, their resolution is limited to 0.2 micrometres due to the wavelength of light. Electron microscopes, while large and expensive, offer a much higher resolution of 0.1 nanometers, allowing for detailed study of subcellular structures like mitochondria. The video highlights the pros and cons of each type, emphasizing the superior resolution of electron microscopes, which is 2000 times better than that of light microscopes.
