Unlike no other inventions, microscopes had proven its

significance in the medical world. We owe everything from this ingenious invention and from the brains behind its

discovery. As we all know, our human eye although extremely important is not capable to see the world behind

worlds, a world that is filled with things we can only imagine and fantasize. Just imagine medicine without a

microscope I’m sure that tuberculosis is still epidemic right now. That without this extraordinary device our

knowledge can only be limited on what our eyes can offer.

With this invaluable microscopy tool we are armed

with unlimited knowledge that helps us in today’s medical research and other field of medical science. Life

wasn’t bad after all when everything can be seen through the lens of a microscope. Just take for example Robert

Kooch, who won his first Nobel Prize in medicine in 1905 when he discovered the bacilli that caused tuberculosis

and cholera by the use of a simple microscope. His discovery proved that even conventional microscopes are as

powerful as what we have right now. He was a country doctor who maximizes the power of a microscope and his

discovery lays the cornerstone to modern bacteriology. Another scientific discovery was made through studying a

fruit fly, which is later on expanded the knowledge on how an egg cell grows to become a complete organism. The

information taken from this discovery is very vital in understanding the development of all living

species.

The coolest thing is we are now living in an era where the study of microscope is not limited.

There are various types of microscope used in medical fields to further analyze the cause of death, sickness,

bacteria, viruses, and infections among others. The first recorded scientific results done with a microscope that

changed our view of the human body was based on a microscopy dealt with circulating blood system. Other discovery

resulted to the exploration of the building blocks of the human body, which is commonly known as cell.

Just

like for example an electron microscope, this type of device uses streams of electrons instead of light to create

images. Since its invention in the 1930’s it has revolutionized the study of microscopic structures and surfaces

in many different fields of research, including medicine, chemistry, metallurgy and chemistry. It can obtain much

higher powers of magnification that other microscopes doesn’t have because electrons have much shorter

wavelengths associated with them than light waves. So surf up and enjoy our informative pages as we feature medical

microscopes and other related topics.
