OMG!!!
I was deeply surprised when i saw this ant under the microscope. IT'S. SO. CUTE! Well for some people it might creep them out. Even so, it is just mesmerizing! Just imagine those small insects that usually marches together to get sweets from our leftovers (ya, ada saatnya para semut datang hanya ketika ada manis-manisnya saja) are kind of similar to ... dinosaurs? Or is it just my imagination?
This is just one of a million examples that shows how amazing microscopes are! Here is also another picture taken from a microscope:
The first microscope was created by two Dutch spectacle-makers and father-and-son team, Hans and Zacharias Janssen far back in 1590. These days, microscopes are far more advanced and can vary from one specification to another. The most basic and handy microscope that is well-known in most schools or university laboratories is a Light Microscope. Other than this, there are also types of microscopes, such as the Stereo Microscope, the Digital Microscope, the USB Computer Microscope, the Pocket Microscope, the Electron Microscope, the Scanning Probe Microscope, and the Acoustic Microscope.
There are many things we can do with a microscope, from helping scientist observe bacteria and human cells, to diagnosing cancer, and even evaluating the components of structures such as buildings, bridges and dams to ensure that they are safe. For me personally, the microscope helped entertain me in a way (yes, it's kind of weird). I love how I could see the unique structures of the little things, cells, bacteria, plant anatomies, etc. It's marvelous how God made such details!
“If you're shopping for a home entertainment system you can't do better than a good dissecting microscope.”
