    Microscopic examination in a biochemical laboratory. Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye). [1]

  3. Oct 19, 2023 · Learn about the history, types, and uses of microscopes, instruments that magnify small objects and cells. Find out how lenses, magnification, and light work in different microscopes.

  4. May 26, 2024 · Microscopes are instruments that are used in science laboratories to visualize very minute objects, such as cells and microorganisms, giving a contrasting image that is magnified. Microscopes are made up of lenses for magnification, each with its own magnification powers.

    • Light Microscopes. The most common type of microscope you’re likely to come across, these microscopes rely on lenses and light to illuminate a specimen for optimal image-gathering.
    • Compound Microscopes. You’ve undoubtedly peered into this type of microscope in your lifetime. Compound microscopes can be found in schools and labs across the world.
    • Stereoscopic Microscopes. These are common in labs and educational settings, as well. A stereoscopic microscope has a light source on the top to illuminate the specimen, causing reflection into the microscope lens.
    • Confocal Microscopes. Confocal microscopes use lasers to scan a specimen and create high resolution, high magnification images. Because they provide depth-selection by scanning the specimen, they can create sectional detail (without physical dissection) that can be used to build a 3D image.
  5. A microscope is an instrument that magnifies objects otherwise too small to be seen, producing an image in which the object appears larger. Most photographs of cells are taken using a microscope, and these pictures can also be called micrographs. From the definition above, it might sound like a microscope is just a kind of magnifying glass.

  6. May 10, 2022 · Learn how microscopes use lenses to magnify tiny objects and reveal the invisible world of atoms and cells. Find out how different types of microscopes, such as optical and electron microscopes, work and why we need them.
