Resolving power is arguably the most important feature with the optical system due to how influential it is in regards to helping distinguish between the finer details in a particular object. The main aspect of determining the resolution in the object is the numerical aperture, however, there are many other factors that influence this, including coherence of illumination, the type of specimen and contrast enhancing methodology in either the microscope's optical system or in the actual specimen.
The work of microscopy is a technical field that includes using microscopes to edit the resolution range of the normal eye, in order to let them view the smaller parts and details of the specimen. There are three main branches of microscopy: Optical, scanning probe and electron microscopy.
Electron and optical microscopy involve many different aspects of electromagnetic radiation/electron beams such as reflection, refraction and diffraction. This can be done by either wide field irradiation of the sample (standard light microscopy or transmission electron microscopy) or by scanning the specimen with a fine beam (scanning electron microscopy or confocal laser scanning microscopy). This involves the scanning probe interacting with the surface of the specimen, allowing the image to be seen more clearly.
When these methods were created, it completely revolutionized biology and is still today an absolutely essential technique in the study of life and the physical sciences. Science is of complete importance today, with the constant evolution of everything around us, with everything changing every day. The importance of science in schools needs to be sustained as there are never too many scientists! However, science has become less of an enjoyed subject for children in schools in this age, so every effort must be made to ensure that people still keep an interest in such an incredibly important subject.
