2. Compare and contrast light microscopes, electron microscopes,
and atomic force microscopes.

Answer is the explanation.

Explanation:

A light microscope (LM) is an instrument which uses the visible light and magnifying glasses to examine small objects that are invisible to the naked eye or have finer details than the naked eye allows. However, magnification is not the main problem in microscopy.

Electron microscopy (EM) is a technique for obtaining high-resolution images of biological and non-biological samples. It is used in biomedical research to study the detailed structure of tissues, cells, organelles and macromolecular complexes.

An atomic force microscope is a type of high-resolution scanning probe microscope with a resolution that can be measured in fractions of a nanometer. It was launched in 1986 by Nobel Prize winners Gerd Binnig, Calvin Quate and Christoph Gerber.
