Microscopy studies
Microscopy is a broad category encompassing various techniques that use microscopes to visualize samples and specimens that can't be seen by the naked eye. Microscopy studies can use a range of microscope platforms including simple microscopes, compound microscopes, electron microscopes, stereomicroscopes, confocal microscopes, and Scanning probe microscopes.
