Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Magnification is the ability to make objects appear enlarged. It enables the ready observation of tiny life forms that cannot be seen with naked eyes, which is facilitated by microscopes. Magnification in most microscopes results from a complex interaction between visible light waves and the curvature of the lens.
