A microscope is a scientific instrument used to magnify and observe objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. It allows researchers, scientists, and students to study the fine details of tiny structures, such as cells, microorganisms, and other microscopic entities. Microscopes are essential tools in fields like biology, chemistry, medicine, materials science, and more. Microscopes have revolutionized science by enabling the discovery of cells, bacteria, viruses, and other microscopic phenomena, leading to advancements in medicine, technology, and our understanding of the natural world.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The technique relies on the principles of magnification, resolution, and image analysis:

  • Magnification: The microscope enlarges particles to a visible scale.

  • Resolution: The ability to distinguish between two closely spaced particles, determined by the wavelength of the imaging source (light or electrons).

  • ImageAnalysis: Algorithms detect particle boundaries, measure dimensions, and classify particles based on size and shape.
