Explanation of Solution

The electron microscopy is used to visualize the ultrastructure of the cells. It gives a resolution, which can help to view particles of nm in size. Light microscopy is less efficient in resolution power it provides a resolution up to ~1200nm.

The light microscopy can be used to view the cell its component. It can be used to see organelles, chromosomes during cell division, and tissues. The electron microscope can be used to visualize the detail of the organelles, the biochemical processes, and some large molecules including lipid bilayer and associated receptors.

Conclusion

The cells can be useful or non-useful depending on the function they perform.
