The resolution of an electronic microscope is about 0,050 nm, whereas the resolution of a light microscope is about 200 nm. Remember the smaller the better. The resolution means how small can be something we still can not only see but also distinguish from what surrounds it. So we can see smaller things with an electronic microscope. Of course, we also see them bigger: an electronic microscope has a magnification power of 10,000,000x, which means we can see things 10,000,000 times bigger, whereas magnification power in a light microscope is about 2,000x, which means we can see things only 2,000 times bigger
