The evolution of the Microbiology field put to perspective the need to identify, view, observe and understand microorganisms, including their structural morphologies and mechanisms. Microbiology’s scope is to study organisms and minute agents that can only be examined and observed with a microscope.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although scientifically, the first simple microscope was discovered by two Dutch scientists, Zaccharias Janssen and his father, Hans who made spectacles, were the first to experiment with their lenses by combining lenses in a tube and observed that the objects that were nearby, appeared closer and larger. Despite not being included as a scientific discovery, this act paved the way for scientific evolution.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the History of Microbiology, Antony Van Lewnehoueek an amateur Microbiologist made the first simple microscope, that enabled him to observe the presence of tiny living organisms in pond water that appeared like dots. His simple microscope was made up of a double convex glass lens that was held between two silver plates.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The application of microscopy in Microbiology enhanced the visualization of cells and microorganisms by magnifying their images to make them larger.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
