Answer:
Light microscopes do not magnify at the same level as other options.
The typical light microscope cannot magnify as closely as an electron microscope when looking at some of the world’s smallest structures. Most models are capped at 2,000 times or thereabouts, with some entry-level models offering significantly less to the user. Because the relatively long wavelength of light decreases the ability of the equipment to magnify in the small focus lens, you may not always see everything that is going on with a slide when choosing this option.
