Advantages

  • Inexpensive
  • Can view specimens which are still alive
  • No vacuum required
  • Requires less energy
  • Less Specimen Preparation Time

Disadvantages

  • Low Magnification (1500x)
  • Low Resolving Power (200nm)

Evaluation

Light Microscopes are good for school use, and when you do not want to see the internal structure of the cell, but the general shape of the organism or cell. However you cannot view anything at high magnification.
