Why electron is preferred over X-ray in the microscope?

Answer

1. The de-Broglie wavelength of an electron is very less compared to X-rays.
2. We can build a high resolving power microscope using electrons.
3. Resolving power of a microscope inversely proportional to the wavelength
$
r_0 \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}
