Microscope is an instrument that helps to view minute items and the study of small items is microscopy. There are different types - namely - light, compound, phase contrast, transmission electron microscope, scanning electronmicroscope etc.
The uses of microscope include
- Visualization of microorganism and other micro level objects.
- Characterize the organism that cause the disease
- Identify the type of toxin molecule produced.
- Obseve the cells and atoms so as to observe and corelateany variation in the shape, structure and function
Leeuwenhoek waq a Dutch naturalist who invented the microscope. Until then, there was not understanding of bacteria or the human body. Now they could be examined by the microscope. Leeuwenhoek studied bacteria, sperm, muscle striation, blood cells, etc. Now it continues to be used to study all kinds of physiological substances, is used to diagnose diseases, determine cell structure, many uses for determining illness and normallcy. It is used in forensics to help either convict or set free a person charged with a crime. It is used by botanists to study plants. Every scientist uses the microscope.

What type of microscope is best for studying DNA?
electron microscopes...According to my course in OK Virtual Highschool.."Hi-tech electron microscopes are used to study very small objects such as viruses. They can also be used to view the smallest of molecules that make up cells such as DNA in the nucleus. Unlike a compound microscope, an electron microscope can produce a three-dimensional image"
How many microscope are there?
There are six different types of microscopes used in the life science. There is the light microscope, phase contrast microscope, fluorescent microscope, electron microscope, atomic force microscope, and scanning tunnelling microscope.
