It took 100 years before this idea was confirmed with the invention of the electron microscope. Prior to this light microscopes, which enable us to see large cells, were used; but their resolving power was not high enough to confirm that all living things were made from cells as the physics of a light microscope only enables it to magnify something by about 2000x, a resolution of about 0.2 micrometers. In this essay I will be discussing the uses of electron microscopes, the way
