Why would a scientist use a transmission electron microscope (TEM) instead of a compound microscope to view a tissue sample

See the answer below

Explanation:

A scientist would choose a transmission electron microscope over a compound microscope because of the higher magnification and resolution of images of objects on slides.

The transmission electron microscope uses short wave electrons to produce highly magnified, 2d, and highly resolved images of slides. The light microscope, on the other hand, has a limited capacity to magnify and resolve images of objects on the slide because it uses visible light to produce images. While the transmission electron microscope can produce more than a million times magnification, the light microscope is limited to just thousands.

because the light is a great source of energy for the plants to survive. (i hope this )
