Do you know?
A microscope helps us see tiny things by making them look bigger using lenses. It’s used to study cells, bacteria, and more. Tap to read more about microscope.
Basic Principle
A microscope works by magnifying small objects using lenses, allowing scientists to observe details invisible to the naked eye.
Types of Microscopes
The two main types are light microscopes, which use light to magnify, and electron microscopes, which use electron beams for higher magnification.
Lenses in Microscopes
Microscopes use convex lenses that bend light rays to make objects appear larger, enabling clearer observations.
Magnification Process
Light or electron beams pass through the sample, enlarging it to show intricate details when viewed through the eyepiece.
Focus and Clarity
The objective lens and focus knob help adjust the clarity, allowing scientists to get a sharp view of tiny structures.
Stages for Viewing
Samples are placed on the stage, often mounted on slides, which helps stabilise and position them for observation.
