Question

what are the main differences between optical and electron microscopy?

Mirte Schattorie · Accepted Answer

optical microscopy creates images in color (depending on the staining), whereas electron microscopy can only generate black/white images. however, electron microscopy can generate much more detailed and magnified images with a better resolution.
