Explanation:

Electron microscopes require specimens to be placed in a vacuum and often treated with fixatives or stains that kill living organisms, making them unable to produce clear images of living specimens. The other listed microscope types are light microscopes that can be used to visualize living specimens (some may require simple preparation, but do not kill the specimen).

Electron microscope
