The 24 pages that link to Electron microscope, each with the reason it gives.

• ElectronBroader topic: Electrons can reveal structures finer than visible-light microscopes resolve.

• Angular resolutionRelated: Its short electron wavelengths permit much finer angular detail than visible-light optics.

• Transmission electron microscopyNarrower topic: TEM is one of the two principal electron-microscope configurations.
