A major breakthrough in the studies of cells came with the development of electron microscope. This is because
the resolution power of the electron microscope is much higher than that of the light microscope
the resolving power of the electron microscope is 200 – 350 nm as compared to 0.1 – 0.2 nm for the light microscope
electron beam can pass through thick materials, whereas light microscopy requires thin sections
electron beam can pass through thick materials, whereas light microscopy requires thin sections
