Microscopes and It's History
Description:
A microscope (from the Ancient Greek: μικρός, mikrós, "small" and σκοπεῖν, skopeîn, "to look" or "see") is an instrument used to see objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Microscopy is the science of investigating small objects and structures using such an instrument. Microscopic means invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

parts of cells - Uses beams of electrons rather than light
- Much more powerful
