And when we think about the classic image of the scientist in the lab, we have this image you know, they're pouring over the microscope, and they see something in the tissue sample.

Adjust the microscope's focus.

Adjust the focus of the microscope.

So, you pour them out onto a surface and they start to stick to that surface, and we take a picture using an atomic force microscope.

Tom wants a microscope.

You see under a microscope.

Do you know who invented the microscope?

He looked through the microscope.

Tom bought himself a microscope.

If you've ever seen an electron microscope picture, you'll see this. This all looks the same, then there's this bit over here which is incredibly complicated.

He was looking through a microscope.

And underneath the microscope there were splinters of glass.

Tom bought Mary a microscope.

Tom bought a microscope for Mary.

Some chose the microscope as their instrument.

Do you know the difference between a microscope and a telescope?

Germs can only be seen with the aid of a microscope.

And I looked at it beneath the microscope. And some of it was flat.

You can look with a microscope and see them on a surface.

Here is a scanning electron micrograph of a grain of pollen.

And so we peer through a legal microscope, and look at everything.

What I did, I plucked the tag out and put it underneath the microscope.

If we see something that looks interesting, we pull it into a microscope.

I mean they're incredibly small, you have to have a microscope to see one.

And, secondly, to convince you that every home really ought to have a scanning electron microscope.

And under the scanning electron microscope, you can see the surface there really quite different from the other surfaces we looked at.

An Image field holds a picture.

As I say, every home should have a scanning electron microscope to be able to see these.

We couldn't have a germ theory of disease before we invented the microscope to see them.

Think of the AlloSphere as a large, dynamically varying digital microscope that's connected to a supercomputer.

And then finally somebody picked up a microscope and looked at the water that was sitting next to the cores.

There's the atomic force microscope working and you can see that the landing's a little rough.

Click on the image button and select a new image from the image chooser dialog.

And all these crystals here under the microscope were dead a few minutes ago, and they look alive.

And so, when you start to look at emergent systems, you can look at a neuron under a microscope.
