What is the explanation for how a modern transmission electron microscope (TEM) can achieve a resolution of about 0.2 nanometers, whereas a standard light microscope has a maximum resolution of about 200 nanometers?

    A simple light microscope uses light for imaging of objects where as a transmission electron microscope uses a monochromatic beam of electrons.

    This beam is passed by a magnetic field which is very strong and thus act as a lens.

    Its resolution of very high which is about 0.2 nanometers because of the separation between two atoms.

    Because of this reason its resolution is about 1000 times greater than light microscope.
