which microscope allows the use of color to enhance contrast?

Best Answer is: Light Microscope

 

 

You can only see color in a light microscope. A light microscope just magnifies the image and see the image just they way the eye sees–in color. The electron microscopes do not work this way. They use electrons to “map” the specimen and project a black and white image to a computer.

Light microscope.

Light has color. You can see the real color of specimens.

Electrons do not have color. Color is a function of light.
