What is microscopy?

Microscopy is a technique used to view objects and structures that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. It involves using a microscope to magnify these objects, allowing for detailed observation of their structure and composition. Microscopy is widely used in biology, medicine, materials science, and other fields for research, diagnostics, and quality control.
