The microscope is an instrument used to magnify small objects. It has led to important biological discoveries and has undergone many innovations and improvements. There are a variety of microscopes including the compound microscope, dissecting microscope, Scanning Election Microscope and Transmission Electron Microscope. more »
One of the most basic parts of working with a microscope is preparing a slide. The microscope slide holds the specimen you will be examining through the microscope. In order to see your specimen clearly and observe it for any appreciable length of time, you must know how to prepare a microscope slide properly. more »

This article provides an overview of microscopic resolution, from the definition of resolution to recent advances within the field. more »
The microscope, an invention that changed the way humans look at the world, came about through the process of much experimentation. Originating in the late 16th century, the microscope is certainly one of the most groundbreaking instruments. more »
A USB microscope is similar to a digital microscope. You can send images from both types of microscope to your computer for viewing, saving and printing. The big difference between the two is that most USB microscopes can be used both traditionally and as handheld devices. Using your USB microscope as a handheld instrument allows you to examine objects that would not fit under a traditional microscope's lens. more »

All microscopes are used to get a magnified view of a specimen. A dissecting microscope is used to look at objects that are thicker than objects looked at under a compound microscope. Compound microscopes typically give 10 to 40 times magnification. However, dissecting microscopes may only yield 3 to 5 times magnification. The reduced magnification is not a disadvantage because the dissecting microscope is used differently then a compound microscope. more »
The microscope is a valuable instrument because it allows samples to be magnified and examined in detail. more »
Compound microscopes use two lenses to magnify a specimen, whereas light microscopes use only one lens. Another major difference between compound microscopes and light microscopes is their power source. Compound microscopes use electricity to illuminate an object, whereas light microscopes simply use sunlight or some other external lighting source. It's important to know the difference between the two before beginning an experiment. more »
