Mikroskop (Microscope)

Mikroskop (dari Bahasa Yunani Kuno: μικρός, mikrós, "kecil" dan σκοπεῖν, skopeîn, "melihat" atau "lihat") adalah peralatan makmal yang digunakan untuk melihat objek yang terlalu kecil bagi mata kasar. Bidang sains yang menyiasat objek kecil menggunakan alat sedemikian dikenali sebagai mikroskopi. Mikroskopik bermakna tidak dapat dilihat dengan mata kasar kecuali dengan bantuan mikroskop. Terdapat banyak jenis mikroskop. Yang paling biasa (dan yang pertama dicipta) adalah mikroskop optik, yang menggunakan cahaya pada imej sampel. Jenis utama mikroskop lain adalah mikroskop elektron (kedua-dua mikroskop pemancar elektron dan mikroskop pengimbasan elektron), ultramikroskop, dan pelbagai jenis mikroskop prob imbasan. Pada 8 Oktober 2014, Hadiah Nobel dalam Kimia telah dianugerahkan kepada Eric Betzig, William Moerner dan Stefan Hell bagi "pembangunan penyelesai-super mikroskop pendarfluor," yang membawa "mikroskop optik ke dalam dimensi nano 

A microscope (from Ancient Greek μικρός (mikrós) 'small', and σκοπέω (skopéō) 'to look (at); examine, inspect') is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Microscopy is the science of investigating small objects and structures using a microscope. Microscopic means being invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope. There are many types of microscopes, and they may be grouped in different ways. One way is to describe the method an instrument uses to interact with a sample and produce images, either by sending a beam of light or electrons through a sample in its optical path, by detecting photon emissions from a sample, or by scanning across and a short distance from the surface of a sample using a probe. The most common microscope (and the first to be invented) is the optical microscope, which uses lenses to refract visible light that passed through a thinly sectioned sample to produce an observable image. Other major types of microscopes are the fluorescence microscope, electron microscope (both the transmission electron microscope and the scanning electron microscope) and various types of scanning probe microscopes.
