Summary Introduction
To write:
The advantage of low power objective over the oil-immersion objective for viewing
Introduction:
Microscopy is a technique of observing an object under a microscope that is not observable with naked eyes. The types of microscopy include scanning probe microscopy, electron microscopy, and optical microscopy. Optical microscopy uses light for illuminating and lenses to magnify the sample.
