How do early microscopes compare with modern microscopes?
What will be an ideal response?
Early microscopes used only light and could magnify only 10 to 20 times. Today's modern compound light microscopes can magnify up to 1000 times, and modern microscopes using beams of electrons instead of light can magnify over 1 million times.
