In a microscope some microorganisms may be checked if they are living or not e.g. Euglena , Paramecium etc. can easily be checked but Bacteria can't be checked , there are other methods for checking them .
wouldn't it be moving?
So you can determine the actual size of what you are looking at.
A light microscope uses visible light, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation, to produce an enlarged image of a specimen. This type of radiation falls within the range of wavelengths visible to the human eye.
The first thing looked at under a microscope was likely a biological specimen, such as a plant cell or animal tissue, in the 17th century. The microscope allowed scientists to observe these tiny structures in detail for the first time.
One of the inventions of Anton Van Leeuwenhoek is the Microscope

A microscope can help determine if a specimen is living by observing if it shows specific characteristics of living organisms like movement, growth, or reproduction. Additionally, the presence of organelles or cellular structures typical of living cells could indicate that the specimen is alive. On the other hand, if the specimen lacks these characteristics and appears inert or does not exhibit any cellular components, it is likely non-living.
Technology is used... such as heat sensors you cant tell just by looking through a microscope you have to use technology... unless of course it moves and multiplies or you recognize cells. (The latter requires that you have a pretty good idea of what cells look like.)
The specimen or sample being examined under a microscope is typically referred to as the "specimen." This can be anything from cells, tissues, or other material being studied or observed under the microscope.
The purpose of a microscope is to magnify and resolve tiny objects or structures that are not visible to the naked eye. The principle of a microscope is based on the interaction of light waves or electrons with the specimen to produce a magnified image for observation and analysis.
Bacterium is an example.
it is not good because when you tilt it , you cannot identify the thing what you observed easier . the specimen might fall down. -NOCNHS ♥
No. While pretty much any living thing you can see without a microscope is multicellular, most living things are actually unicellular.
Tilting the microscope can result in misalignment of the optics, leading to a blurry image and potentially damaging the microscope lenses or slides. It can also disrupt the focus and calibration, affecting the accuracy of your observations. Keeping the microscope level ensures reliable and consistent results.
charcoal is a mineral. it is not a living specimen because it cannot move breathe or any other types of actions such as these. but it is useful to barbeque with.
The largest living thing ever discovered is the fungus Armillaria ostoyae. The largest living specimen is located underground at Malheur National Forest in Oregon, and covers 2200 acres.
help you see living thing movecw: I don't think I've ever seen a simple microscope -- maybe a magnifying glass? Compound!
