Compound Microscope are lighter and smaller, so that are easier to move and set up...And they use glass lenses and also inter vacuum is not needed as illuminating source is the light...

                               Whereas in case of Electron Microscope they are big and heavy, so are hard to move and set up. And they use electromagnets due to negative charge on electrons and also inter vacuum is needed as illuminating source is the beam of electrons..

And the most important and common difference between Compound and Electron Microscope is Compound Microscope have much lesser resolution than Electron Microscope and Electron Microscope have much higher resolution than Compound Microscope..
