The microscope, invented and developed over time by very different scientists, is one of the most important tools that a scientist can use, especially in the study of biology and chemistry. It has impacted the way we view life and learn more about the nature of diseases that have plagued humanity for years. The microscope is primarily an instrument used by biologists, but has many uses for those who study chemistry. Life before the microscope may not seem as different as life with the microscope. But if you look at the bigger picture, the microscope has had an impact on the way humanity lives, as have other technologies such as the printing press and firearms. At first the microscope was used only because of scientists' curiosity about what is beyond the sight of the naked human eye. But eventually scientists discover cells, bacteria and molecules. Those discoveries had an impact on science and the way we view science today. So without the microscope, modern science would end up being completely different. Even in hospital laboratories doctors use blood and urine samples to look under the microscope and help treat and sometimes even cure diseases. Even in law enforcement labs, forensic scientists and other people working in the field use the microscope to examine things and help bring justice to the world. Imagine if humanity had modern microscopes during the tragic bubonic plague, imagine how many lives could be saved or at least have a more effective solution against the deadly disease than they had back then. Life may not have changed the instant the microscope was invented, but it helped get us to where we are now. The microscope is made up of many parts. The eye lenses you use to look through, the body tube which is the tube you look through using t...... middle of paper ...... can have a bigger impact on the way we live or a large impact on science. Unless we could use it to see smaller things than we could see today, the microscope has almost reached its limit. The use of the microscope and hospital laboratories can help cure diseases such as cancer. But I think the microscope has had enough of an impact on the future. It will be used every time cancer treatment is performed. It will be used when diseases such as diabetes and HIV are cured. It will be used at least 5 times for every major criminal case in the future. Seeing the microscope is a pretty important part of our way of life. It has helped and even revolutionized the field of science of biology and chemistry in many ways. It has also helped the way we live. For example, it helps to test things like urine or blood to see if the person has any viruses. The microscope is an important tool in science.
