What are Microscopes? By Phoebe
Microscopes are tools that magnify things that are too small for the naked eye to see. They have helped us make huge discoveries such as cells. In the late 17th century Zacharias Jansen made the first real compound microscope. To see your organism under the microscope you have to make a wet mount slide. When you make a wet mount slide it will depend on what cells you want to see: for the cheek cells you will place your organism on the slide, you will stain it with a blue stain, and you will carefully place a coverslip on! And that's how you make a wet mount slide. What would you like to see under a microscope?
