=== Electron microscopes ===
While electron microscopes are still a form of compound microscope, their use of [[electron]] beams to illuminate objects varies in mechanism significantly from compound light microscopes, allowing them to have a much higher resolving power, and magnification approximately 10,000 times more than light microscopes.<ref name="Microbiology Note-2020" /> These can be used to view objects such as [[atom]]s, which are as small as 0.001 micrometres.<ref name="Waikato" />
