Microscopes
Microscopes are used to make larger objects look larger by use of a number of mechanisms. Compound microscopes, for example, focus light through a number of lenses to produce an image. Electron microscopes, on the other hand, focus electrons to produce an image.
Two aspects of microscopes include magnification and resolution. Magnification is the condition in which things appear larger than they are. This condition is made possible by the use of the lenses within the microscope. Resolution is the degree to which two different objects can be distinguished from one another. When you are looking at something with a better resolution, you should be able to see more details than you could with an object with poor resolution.

Microscopes allow you to produce images such as this on the right. These images can vary in quality and in clarity. Microscopes are used to view things that are too small for the naked eye to see, such as cells and their insides. Now you will have a chance to practice your microscope skills on a virtual level by using an online microscope.
You will be looking at a number of specimens through the virtual microscope. These specimens include, the letter 'e', onion root tip, bacteria capsule, and a cheek cell smear. By viewing these, you will be able to practice both your microscope skills and will begin to analyze the differences between a variety of cell types.
