Atoms were first seen individually (but not in specific detail) through the STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope) built in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer at IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. They demonstrated the power and consistency of their invention by arranging a selection of atoms into IBM's company logo. They were later awarded with the Nobel Prize.

Can you see more cell things with a low powered microscope or a high powered microscope?

The size of the cell remains the same no matter what power objective is used. However, the magnification changes between these two objective lenses, with the low power objective magnifying it less than the high power objective.


What is stellar microscope?

A stellar microscope is a high-powered optical microscope designed for viewing live cells and tissues, often used in research laboratories and medical facilities. These microscopes provide high-resolution images of cellular structures and processes, aiding in the study of biological functions and diseases.


Can i see Sperm under microscope?

Yes, sperm cells can be seen under a microscope. They are typically stained with a dye to make them more visible. Sperm cells are very small, measuring about 5 micrometers in length, so a high-powered microscope is needed to observe them clearly.
