A microscope is an instrument used to magnify small objects or details that are difficult to see with the naked eye. It typically consists of one or more lenses and a system for illuminating the object being viewed. Microscopes are used in a variety of fields, including biology, medicine, and engineering, to study cells, tissues, and other small structures.
