Scanning electron microscopes offer advantages such as superior resolution and magnification compared to light microscopes, owing to the shorter wavelength of electrons, and can create 3D images.
Advantages of SEM include higher resolution and magnification than light microscopes due to electrons' shorter wavelength, and the ability to produce 3D images.
