What Are the Functions of the Compound Microscope?
Compound microscopes are key tools for scientific research and education around the world and in many fields. They vary widely in price, allowing students, scientists and hobbyists of all income levels to all utilize various models. In the last 400 years, especially prior to the 1900s and the development of alternate models of microscopes, compound microscopes have redefined the understanding of a vast array of phenomena. From the analysis of cork cells to the study of bacteria, these devices have been central to scientific exploration.
