When observed under a microscope, steel typically appears as a crystalline structure with distinct grain boundaries. The grains can vary in size and shape, depending on the composition and processing of the steel. Additionally, microstructural features such as inclusions, phases, and defects may be visible, providing insights into the material's properties and performance.
The shortest object in a microscope is called the "specimen" or the "sample." It is the object or material being observed under the microscope.
A transparent microscope slide allows light to pass through the specimen, enabling clear visibility and magnification. This transparency is essential for producing a detailed image that can be observed under the microscope.
Movement such as cilia or flagella can be observed under a compound microscope. These are hair-like structures that protrude from certain cells and help with cell motility. By observing these structures, scientists can study how cells move and interact with their environment.
A light source in a microscope provides illumination to the specimen being observed. It helps to enhance contrast and visibility of the sample, allowing for better imaging and analysis under the microscope.
Glass microscope slides are insulators. They are made of non-conductive material that does not allow the flow of electricity. This property helps to minimize interference and maintain the integrity of the specimen being observed under the microscope.
When examining onion cells under a microscope, key characteristics observed include a rectangular shape, a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and a distinct nucleus.
Under a microscope, characteristics of filamentous algae that can be observed include long, thread-like structures, cell walls, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and sometimes reproductive structures like spores or gametes.
The key characteristics of an onion cell observed under a microscope include a rectangular shape, a cell wall that appears as a thin, clear outline, a large central vacuole that takes up most of the cell's space, and small, dark-stained organelles called nuclei.
Cells under microscope.

Cork cells from plants were first observed under a microscope by Robert Hooke.
Robert Hooke is credited with being the scientist who first observed cells under a microscope. He observed and described cells in a thin slice of cork in his book "Micrographia" published in 1665.
Nonliving
Under a compound microscope, characteristics such as the shape, color, size, texture, and internal structure of fibers can be observed. Additionally, features like surface patterns, twists, birefringence, and the presence of contaminants or foreign materials can be identified. These observations can help in the identification and classification of different types of fibers.
The key characteristics and distinguishing features of the meiosis stages when observed under a microscope include the reduction in chromosome number, the occurrence of crossing over during prophase I, the alignment of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I, the separation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I, and the separation of sister chromatids during anaphase II. These stages are essential for the production of genetically diverse gametes.

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.
