This document discusses microscopy techniques. It describes light microscopes and electron microscopes, including transmission electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes. Key components of microscopes like the objective lens, ocular lens, stage, and nosepiece are defined. The document also provides a brief history of microscopy, outlining contributions from scientists like Anton Van Leewenhock, Robert Hooke, Robert Brown, Matthias Schleiden, and Theoder Schwann. Sample preparation techniques are covered as well.
