Question

An electron microscope is superior to an optical microscope in terms of:

✓

Answer

Having better resolving power

Explanation:

The biggest advantage of an electron microscope over optical microscope is that they have a higher resolution and are therefore capable of a higher magnification ( up to 2 million times ).

However, optical microscopes show a useful magnification up to 1000−2000 times. This is a limit imposed by the wavelength of light. Electron microscopes, therefore, allow for the visualization of structures that would normally be not visible by optical microscopy.
