Question

its for school.

Answer 1

Different magnification, so we can see certain things.

Light microscope, great for seeing the general picture of the cell, relationships of the cell to other cells, cheaper

Electron microscope, great for seeing the detail of a cell, like the organelles

scanning electron microscope, great for seeing how a cell would look in vivo (looks cool too), like podocytes in the filtration barrier
