microscopes
Tiny-world viewing devices
Microscopes is the plural of microscope, an optical instrument that magnifies small objects for detailed examination.
The compound microscope uses multiple lenses to achieve high magnification for viewing cells and microorganisms.
Electron microscopes use electron beams rather than light, revealing structures at molecular scale.
The lab's microscopes revealed bacteria in the sample.
