Because the wavelength of electrons is 100,000 times shorter than the wavelength of visible light, the resolution of the electron microscope is 100,000 times better than the resolution of the light microscope.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resolution of the electron microscope is significantly better than that of the light microscope due to shorter electron wavelengths, but it is not directly 100,000 times better. The improvement in resolution is substantial but not directly proportional to the wavelength difference.
