GCSE Biology - What is Microscopy? #5

This video tutorial explains the use of light microscopes, detailing their parts and functions. It introduces key terms such as object, image, magnification, and resolution. The tutorial describes how light microscopes work, emphasizing the difference between the object and the image seen through the microscope. It defines magnification as the ratio of image size to object size and explains resolution as the ability to distinguish two points as separate. The video aims to clarify these concepts to enhance understanding of microscopy.
