Cells

Before microscopes were invented disease was caused by spirits. When they were finally invented it brought a whole new world to the people. it allowed them to see living organisms. There was a man named Anton Van Leewenhook, he was the first man to look at water under a microscope. There are many different microscopes one was a compound scope, it used many lenses to magnify up to 1500 times. All organisms are made of one or more cells. the first electronic microscope was invented in the 1940s. later on there came many more microscopes and that was a great thing for the studies of cells and organisms, some of these scopes were able to magnify up to 500 000 times.

  2. I need to know who "drdre" is again. Can you please customize so that your first name is evident? Thanks!

    Can you imagine being one of the first people to look through the newly invented microscope and see all that 'strange' stuff...that would have been wild, eh!
