One may think that the obvious answer here would be a microscope. However, after many years as a microbiologist, I have learned that it takes more than just a microscope. A good screwdriver to tinker with the scope every once in a while is good also. Some of us use incubators and autoclaves. Some of our other gadgets have moving parts. These all need to be maintained. Our bacteria need to be kept warm, our viruses need to be kept cold; thus, a thermometer is a necessary tool. A pH meter, a dissolved oxygen meter, the list can go on and on. So, please don't think that a microscope is the only tool we rely on .
