Structure and Organization of Plants as Related to the Invention of the
Microscope
People have observed the form and structure of plants, animals and fungi for
thousands of years. But the study of structure and organization really increased
after the invention of the microscope. Visit the "History of the Light
Microscope" web page for very interesting details and illustrations.
Microscopy
There are several types of microscopy. Several types, light microscopy,
transmission electron microscopy (which uses electrons instead of light, and
magnetic lenses instead of glass lenses) and scanning electron microscopy are
described and illustrated in the "SEM" web site.
