Microscopy is a technique used to view objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. This field encompasses various types of microscopes, including optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopes, each suited for different applications and magnification needs. Optical microscopes use visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small objects, commonly used in biological and medical sciences. Electron microscopes, which provide much higher magnification and resolution, use beams of electrons instead of light to create an image and are essential in fields such as materials science and nanotechnology. Scanning probe microscopes, including atomic force microscopes, go further by physically scanning the surface of a sample with a fine probe, allowing detailed study of the surface properties at the atomic level. The advancements in microscopy have profoundly impacted scientific research, enabling detailed and precise study of cells, microorganisms, crystals, materials, and nanos
