A conventional light microscope uses glass lenses to magnify the sample to be examined. A fluorescence microscope gives a very detailed picture of the characteristics of cells and tissues. Fluorescence illumination is today's fastest growing microscopy technique in both medical and biological sciences. The electron microscope illuminates the sample with an electron beam, providing much higher magnification and resolution than a normal light microscope.
