📌 A compound light microscope uses multiple lenses and allowed scientists such as Robert Hooke to see cells, whereas an electron microscope uses electrons and provides much greater magnification for viruses and tiny cell structures.
Light microscopes use light, whereas electron microscopes use electrons.
