Micro micro microo!

Life is not only the things we can see, life comes from many sizes, shapes, forms and more. Much of the world is made up of things that humans can’t see, unless they use some instruments that allow to see nano or micro things.

I'm going to tell you about one instrument that fulfills that function.  

A Microscope is an instrument used to see small objects that we can’t see just with our eyes. There are various sizes of microscopes depending to the size of the object you are going to observe.

With normal or common microscopes we can’t see things very smalls like particles or subatomic particles. There are special microscopes for that, but if you want to see for example plant tissues, you can use normal microscopes. 

Well this instrument is widely used, for example; in microbiology, in the hospitals is use to diagnosis the illness, to study crystalline structures and molecular structures. The scientist use a lot this instrument. 

The first time I used it was in the third year of high school, I was in biology class and we went to the laboratory (a small laboratory).  It fascinated me, so spectacular!

In the career of Biochemistry is important to use this instrument that allow us to see things in special sizes. Why? Because we study things that are related to small things of the world like cells, atoms, tissues, microorganism….  We study the life in a small way, relating the chemistry with the life.

I chose this instrument because personally I’m anxious to work with the microscope and see cells, tissues, small life. It’s beautiful to see all that existence, the shape and interactions of a micro world.  Also I think that it has helped in our lives a lot, and it can keep helping a lot to continue searching the answers in the micro things, to cure diseases and take care the world.
