== == Visual inspection of cells (bacterial, cell cultures), immuno-staining (localisation of a protein of interest), microinjection, ... Microscopes are still in use but modern ones often have sophisticated equipment attached, e.g. lasers and motors for object movement.
They are used in cytopathology (looking at pap smears and other specimens from any body site, smeared on glass slides, to search for cancer, precancerous cells, organisms) and pathology (looking at pieces of body parts that have been sliced very thinly and placed on glass slides and stained to search for disease processes). Some scopes are now even computer controlled for use in cytology/cytopathology. Check out Cytyc.com.

When were microscopes first used?
Microscopes were first used in 1590 by Hans and Zacharias Janssen
Does a microscope use a concave lens or a convex lens?
Today's microscopes use convex lenses.
What microscopes can enlarge images up to 100000 times or more?
An electron microscope can enlarge images up to 10,000,000 times (107x).Other types of microscopes that can achieve over 105 magnification include scanning probe microscopes, such as atomic force microscopes, electrostatic force microscopes, magnetic force microscopes, scanning tunneling microscopes, and piezo force microscopes.
What tools are used to observe objects?
Tools such as magnifying glasses and microscopes can be used to better observe objects.
Why do microscopes have lenses?
Since microscopes are instruments to see and observe very small objects which are not visible to naked eye, it needs to focus on them. The lenses are used for this purpose of focusing. If there will be no lens in the microscope then it will not be able to zoom and focus.
How are microscopes used today?
microscopes are used in labs, medical field, surgeries, astronomy and crime investigation field
What are the types of microscopes that are available today?
digital microscopes,compound microscopes,electron microscopes,pocket microscopes,usb computer microscopes,scanning microscopes,stereo microscopes.
When were microscopes first used?
Microscopes were first used in 1590 by Hans and Zacharias Janssen
Where are microscopes used in?
Microscopes are used to see things that are tiny and cannot be seen by naked eye.
What unit of measerment is used for objects seen under the microscopes?
what is the measurment is used for under the microscopes
What types of microscopes could be used to study viruses?
Electron Microscopes are used to study viruses.
What is the most powerful type of microscope today?
electronic microscopes
Is Bright-field microscopes are used for most microscopic work?
Bright field microscopes are most used for microscopic work.
How telescopes and microscopes different?
Microscopes have 2 convex lens and telescopes too while microscopes are used to look at cells and microscopic organisms.
What was the problem with early compound microscopes?
Because early compound microscopes does not let scientists learn more about cells and does not let scientists look at cells more closely than today compound microscopes.
What two microscope are used to view very small organisms?
Optical Microscopes. Electron Microscopes.
What is resolution of microscopes?
There is no one resolution for microscopes. The most commonly used resolution is 0.2 micrometers.
