The Department of Biology, in collaboration with the Continuing Education Unit at the College of Science, has organized a training course entitled “Microscopes: types and professionalism in their use” in the presence of a number of students, researchers and those concerned with this topic. The aim of the course was to identify the basics of the use and care of microscopes and their types and to measure the power and standards of magnification, which facilitates the study of the separation of materials to be dealt with microscopes, especially those who study living organisms, and cells that need sophisticated means or technologies to show them in a larger size.
The lectures, which were delivered by a number of professors, included introducing some microscopes and their respective uses, particularly in displaying small objects in the greatest possible way, allowing the microscope user to look at, analyze and examine parts of these objects very thoroughly, showing how to enlarge an image using many different wave forms, including sound rays, X-rays and electrons, indicating that they are received using digital or direct imaging, with a practical presentation of the power of microscope enlargement and the number of times the body appears to have grown and the degree of clarity that is a measure of the finer details that can be observed in a given object and that is expressed in the micrometer unit.
