The microscope has helped biologists with their study of living things by opening up observations to the world of things smaller than can be viewed with the naked human eye. The field of study is known as microscopy, or microbiology.

An electron microscope - provides much higher magnification than an optical microscope... allowing us to see objects in far greater detail.
The microscope was the instrument that helped scientists develop the cell theory. By allowing them to observe cells in detail, scientists like Robert Hooke and Anton van Leeuwenhoek were able to make important discoveries about the structure of cells, leading to the development of the cell theory.
Knoll and Ruska are known for their contributions to the development of the electron microscope. Knoll helped improve the resolution of electron microscopes, while Ruska built the first practical electron microscope, revolutionizing the field of microscopy by allowing scientists to see structures at the cellular and molecular level.
It helped us by it allowed us to see microscopic organisms better.
Helped discover Polonium which helped her get the Nobel Prize
Living things are composed of cells, which are the basic structural and functional unit of life. We know this through extensive research and observations with microscopes, genetic studies, and other scientific experiments that have helped us understand the cellular composition of living organisms.
