An instrument that provides a greatly enlarged image of an object, allowing the viewing of features than cannot be seen with the naked eye. The microscopes routinely used by pathologists can enlarge images up to 1000 times.
Low tech vision device that enlarges objects.
Instrument used to see very small animals, plants and bacteria.
(micro = "small"; scope = to see) — This groundbreaking invention uses lenses, mirrors and light to look at smaller units of life than humans can see with our naked eyes. When first invented by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, the microscope had a very basic and simple design. Other scientists have since increased the number or angle of the lenses, allowing scientists to look more closely at the microscopic world. The microscope is an invention found in almost every laboratory in the world! Scientists have even created an electron microscope that bounces tiny particles off of objects so that things as small as DNA can be seen.
magnifier of the image of small objects; "the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of the cell"
a basic tool of scientific inquiry, and this sturdy, well-built instrument provides an excellent introduction to microbiology for any curious child or young adult
a device for greatly increasing the intervals between the boundaries of visual shapes, in cases where these are judged to retain their 'identity' whether it is used or not
a device which allows one to view something which is too small to be seen by the naked eye
a light source with a co-ordinated system of lenses arranged so that the viewer sees a magnified image of the specimen (Jones et al
an awareness extending tool that allows us to see something that is always there but not evident to the naked eye
an instrument capable of producing a magnified
an instrument for greatly enlarging the view of a part feature
an instrument that allows sub micron level observation of specimens
an instrument that magnifies extremely small objects so that they can be seen
an instrument that makes things appear bigger when you look through it
an instrument that produces an enlarged image of an object
an instrument used to produce enlarged images of small objects
an optical instrument which makes small objects visible to the human eye
a thing which is used to magnify a very small object
a very powerful magnifying glass
a wonderful instrument that can be used to see small things in a bigger but false image
Have you ever used glasses or a magnifying glass? Glasses and magnifying glasses use pieces of curved glass called lenses to make things look bigger. The word "microscope" means "to look at small things." Microscopes are what scientists use to see things that are very small. They work by using two very strong lenses in a row, so they make things look much bigger than a magnifying glass can.
An optical-assembly made for magnifying objects too small to be seen with the human eye. Infrared microscopes operate in the infrared instead of the visible.
An optical instrument that augments the power of the eye to see small objects. The name microscope was coined by Johannes Faber (1574-1629) who in 1628 borrowed from the Greek to combined micro-, small with skopein, to view. Although the first microscopes were simple microscopes, most (if not all) optical microscopes today are compound microscopes.
Magnifying instrument used to determine clarity in gemstones.
an instrument with magnifying lenses which allow for the study of objects too small to be clearly seen by the naked eye.
an optical instrument that uses a combination of lenses to produce magnified images of very small objects
An instrument designed to extend humans' visual capability to make visible detail that is not seen with the naked eye.
A tool using one or more magnifying lenses to see things too small to see with the naked eye. The bacterium is too small to be seen without a microscope.
An instrument that gives an enlarged image of an object that is minute or not visible with the naked eye.
An optical device used to magnify very small objects. It may have one eyepiece (monocular) or two eyepieces (binocular or stereoscopic).
A type laboratory optical equipment that is used to magnify objects and details that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. In pathology, it is used to study the characteristics and details of cells and tissues
An optical instrument, consisting of a lens or a combination of suitably adjusted lenses, (or, rarely, also of mirrors) by which objects are so magnified that details indistinct or invisible to the naked eye are clearly revealed.
To dream of a microscope, denotes you will experience failure or small returns in your enterprises.
A microscope (Greek: (micron) = small + (skopein) = to look at) is an instrument for viewing objects that are too small to be seen by the naked or unaided eye. The science of investigating small objects using such an instrument is called microscopy, and the term microscopic means minute or very small, not easily visible with the unaided eye. In other words, requiring a microscope to examine.
