Now that we know a bit about the history of microscopy, let's dig into the first form that existed, light microscopy. This is the form that is familiar to most of us, as the microscopes we all looked through in high school biology class...

We've talked a lot about light microscopy, but this technique has inherent limitations in resolution and magnification. The next paradigm in microscopy that emerged in the middle of the 20th century was electron microscopy. Because...
