Introduction to Microscope
A microscope (from Ancient Greek μικρός (mikrós) 'small',
and σκοπέω (skopéō) 'to look (at); examine, inspect') is a laboratory
instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked
eye. Microscopy is the science of investigating small objects and structures using a
microscope. Microscopic means being invisible to the eye unless aided by a
microscope.
