An advantage of electron microscopes compared to light microscopes is that electron microscopes -allow you to view living cells, while light microscopes do not -allow you to view the true colors of the specimens being viewed -are inexpensive and commonly used in most biology laboratories -have higher resolution that allows you to view smaller specimens

d of course. u have to fix the cells - so no living cells its balck and white - electron-dense/sparse are expensive

I agree with d. As it uses electrons to "see" the specimen these are much smaller and therefore have a more detail "seeing" capacity than a wavelength of light.
