microscopy theory

Microscopy theory explains how microscopes enable us to see very small objects by enlarging them. When we look at tiny things like cells or particles, light or electrons pass through or bounce off the sample and are collected by lenses. These lenses bend the light to create a magnified image on our eyes or a camera. Different types of microscopes, such as optical and electron microscopes, use different methods to achieve higher resolution and magnification, allowing us to observe structures that are invisible to the naked eye and understand their detailed functions.
