The 22 pages that link to Microscopy, each with the reason it gives.

• Robert HookeNarrower topic: Hooke’s instruments and published observations helped establish microscopy as a scientific practice.

• Scientific illustrationRelated: Microscopy reveals structures that illustration can clarify and make comparable.

• Plant anatomyRelated: Microscopes made cellular and tissue-level plant anatomy observable.

• Forensic chemistryRelated: Reveals particle structure and guides chemical analysis of minute traces.

• MicrobiologyRelated: Microscopes made microbial forms observable and remain central to examining cells and communities.

• Trace evidenceRelated: Many trace particles must be located and characterized at small scales.

• Marcello MalpighiNarrower topic: Microscopy let Malpighi examine tissues and structures inaccessible to unaided observation.

• Theodor SchwannNarrower topic: Microscopes made Schwann’s comparative study of animal tissues possible.

• History of biologyRelated: Microscopes made cells and microorganisms visible as objects of biological study.

• Bacterial morphologyNarrower topic: Microscopy is the main means of observing bacterial morphology directly.

• Chloral hydrateNarrower topic: Its reagent uses include preparing transparent plant tissues for microscopic examination.

• PreformationismNarrower topic: Microscopes revealed eggs and sperm but also encouraged interpretations beyond what images could prove.

• LycopodiumRelated: Lycopodium spores have been used as reference particles in optical microscopy.

• History of anatomyRelated: Microscopes expanded anatomy from organs to cells and tissue architecture.

• Jan SwammerdamNarrower topic: Magnification let Swammerdam examine small anatomical structures that earlier naturalists could not resolve.

• Edmond LocardRelated: Microscopic examination made many of the minute transfers Locard described detectable.

• SpirogyraRelated: Microscopy reveals Spirogyra’s spiral chloroplasts and cross walls between cells.

• Walter McCroneNarrower topic: It was the foundational means by which McCrone examined fibers, pigments, and other trace materials.

• Bioimage informaticsNarrower topic: Bioimage informatics depends on images produced by microscopy and related imaging methods.

• Ferdinand CohnRelated: Microscopic observation let Cohn distinguish bacterial forms and follow their development.

• High resolutionNarrower topic: Microscope resolution determines which cellular and material structures can be distinguished.

• History of malariaRelated: Blood-smear microscopy made direct identification of malaria parasites possible.
