Electrons have a shorter wavelength in comparison to light which. The major difference is that light microscopes use light rays to focus and produce an image while the TEM uses a beam of electrons to focus on the specimen, to produce an image.

The working principle of the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) is similar to the light microscope. but instead of employing transmission-polarizing materials, light was polarized by reflection from a stack of glass. Image contrast arises from the interaction of plane-polarized light. microscopy applications - brilliant image acquisition, advanced image analysis and reliable image documentation. The polarized light microscope is designed to observe and photograph specimens that are visible primarily due to their optically anisotropic character.
