Answer: transmitted and reflected light

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound microscope uses only transmitted light, whereas the dissecting microscope uses transmitted and reflected light so there won't be shadows on the 3D subjects. Compound Microscopes have greater magnifications, but lower resolutions than the Dissecting microscopes.
