Advantage:
Very high magnifications and resolutions are possible so we can see very fine detail.

Disadvantages:
1. The specimens are not alive, so we can't observe their behaviors, responses, ...
2. The images are in grayscale instead of color because the electron microscope uses electrons instead of light. Color is a function of light.
3. The specimens must be meticulously prepared.
4. The electron microscopes are large and very expensive. It requires quite a bit of training to use one.
