Question

Microscopes are used not only in Microbiology! Can identify the other fields in science/medicine were we use microscopes?

Answer 1

Ecosystem study-The microscope is used to study the health of an ecosystem. Field biologists use the microscope to observe a specific environment, such as marine, by identifying the types and number of organism sustained in samples from the ecosystem. This helps scientists in defining the ecosystem, detecting threats to an ecosystem and determining the relationship of the organisms with their environments.

Forensic science-Forensics is a field of science used to gather and analyze evidence to establish facts that are used in a legal scenario. The microscope is used to examine evidence collected in a crime scene that may have information not visible to the human eye.

Pathology-Histologists use the microscope to analyze tissues and cells. The microscope with other tools is used to detect abnormal tissues in the body. The study has helped in identifying cancerous tissues in a patient.

Genetics-Scientist uses the microscope to observe specific genetic compositions. This also allows scientists to determine genetic abnormality, regeneration and tissue death. The study of genetics is utilized to observe infected tissue. Through this study, histologists are able to conduct research on future cures and preventive medicines.
