Microscopes

... Microscopes How can we find out the structure of several materials? For instance wood, the grains of wood reveal its structure. But there are certain materials where the structure cannot be seen by the human eye or felt. For example a coin or a piece of rubber will appear "smooth" to the naked eye. Microscopes are used to show the internal structure of materials. They also give biologists/ physicist the power to magnify and distinguish objects that are not visible by the human eye. Light microscopes have improved the knowledge in biology, biomedical research and materials science. Light microscopes can magnify objects up to 1,000 times, revealing microscopic details. The light microscope, so called because it allows visible light to detect small objects, is probably the most well known and well-used research tool in biology. Light Microscope They reflect light off an object. Light microscopes are like magnifying glasses, in ways like increasing
