Question: do you always need to look super close up when you are using an electron microscope?

When your using an electron microscope its usually because you want to see something very very small and work out what shape or texture it is! But no you don’t, most of the time you can use normal microscopes to see bacteria and diseases and you can even hook them up to your computer now and just click where you want to zoom in! I’ve got that on my iPhone, is so useful!
