We use microscopes to examine items more closely and see details that aren't visible
to the naked eye. We wouldn't know about the existence of cells, how plants breathe,
or how rocks evolve over time without them.
Learning through doing is often much more beneficial for students than learning
through reading, writing, or watching. Giving young children the chance to use
microscopes for real-world projects illustrates to them that science is not just
something that is found in textbooks. Instead, it is a proactive quest for knowledge
and comprehension.
Some high school students believe that instruction in STEM fields is passive and is
only learned from a textbook or an instructor. This is primarily why microscopes are
important for increasing student involvement. Exposing young students to them
improves their comprehension of the wonder of tiny structures that the human eye
cannot see.
There are many types of microscopes, The most common microscope is the optical
microscope, which uses lenses to refract visible light that passed through a thinly
sectioned sample to produce an observable image. Other major types
of microscopes are the fluorescence microscope, electron microscope (both the
transmission electron microscope and the scanning electron microscope), and various
types of scanning probe microscopes.

Although there are many other types and powers of microscopes, the most popular
kind magnifies an image using a number of lenses. You can thus see objects that are
otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Only a few materials are required if you want to
construct your own microscope. Simple steps include:
- positioning the lens
- creating an eyepiece, and
- fastening everything to a reliable base.
Optical or light microscopy involves passing visible light, which is refracted through
or reflected from the sample, through a single or multiple lenses to allow a magnified
view of the sample. The resulting image can be detected directly by the eye, or
captured digitally.
