How Microscopes Benefit Scientific Development
Video Watching
- Video 1: This video explains the uses of Electron Microscopes and how they help us in viewing a new structure of things that we couldn't see with the naked eye. it also explains the structure of the Electron Microscope itself, as well as how the lenses function and THEIR unique structure. The video aims to focus on illumination and light, explaining how specimens can be viewed clearer when using different sources of light, and the objects that make this possible.

- Video 2: The second video focuses on Electron microscopes and their powers. It explains the difference in certain microscopes, as well as how Monash University maintains a highly stable structure in order to keep one of the world's most powerful microscopes (an electron microscope) from being damaged.
- Video 3: This video speaks about smaller microorganisms such as one-celled creatures, and other animals or plants that can be found in pond water.It focuses on the features of various microorganisms, what they eat and how they function, also explaining the similarities between them and other living creatures. It continues on to talk about the microscopic plants found in water, their role, how THEY function and some of the mysteries that they have caused.

1. The Hidden Miracles of the Natural World - In this video Louie focuses not only on microscopes but on other devices and how they help our world for the better, making smaller things bigger or faster things slower. He talks a little about time laps, then moves onto microscopes, connecting the similarities between it and other ideas. This video is able to explain how deep microscopes can see, and how it helps us as humans to discover the small details of our world.
2. In this video, Manu explains how diseases are incurable due to lack of equipment, how people can’t research further enough due to lack of knowledge, and how a small idea is powerful enough to save many lives. The video explains a simple object called the foldscope, how it can be altered to suit viewing different things and how it is extremely rugged and portable, therefore easy to send to other and assemble with no specific language for the instructions. This version of the microscope is able to assist in saving lives, as it is easy to assemble and still contains all the features of a normal microscope such as a place or the slide and a way to focus and move the lense.
3. In this video, Jonathan talks about pollen and how they and many other things are not fully understood without the use of a microscope.This video also explains how pollen itself is extremely helpful for forensic when seen with a microscope, as the combination of pollen from different plant can determine where it came from, potentially leading to find out where counterfeit drugs are being made and how murder suspects can be tracked simply from the pollen on their clothing.
