Summary Introduction
To explain:
The ranking of the three main types of microscopes from the lowest to highest potential magnification.
Concept Introduction:
Microscopes consist of a lens and objective for visualizing the image of the sample object under study. The initial microscope developed by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was used for observing the samples only without enhanced magnification.
