I know that this website will be focusing on asbestos microscopes, however to discriminate against the other types of microscopes would be a mistake. We understand the value of our microscopes, but we also recognize the impact and significance of other. So this article will be created in memory of all microscopes but most importantly, everyone that contributed to their technologies.
If you think real fast about the greater good created by scientists you will fall in love with science even more. But science, and especially the biological and medical side of it, wouldn’t be where it is today without the microscopes. I mean, even if you think about the pharma industry and the plethora of pathological microorganisms we humans need to fight daily, we wouldn’t even be able to find ways to cure basic deceases – let alone hope on a cure for cancer. So microscopes have really helped us figure out that there is a lot more to just what we see with our own bare eyes. There is a whole new world out there, that collectively has the greatest power. Think of cancer cells: so small but yet so powerful. That is not peanuts power my friends. And if we want to keep on winning the good battle against deceases, we need to improve our technology. Yes, it is far better than what it was 100 years ago, but it’s nothing compared to what can be achieved in the next 100 years.
Think of how many babies and young people can be saved daily today, because we put some cells in a membrane under a microscope and lab check it. I mean that overall significance and importance is just mind blowing and tremendously great! Even if you want to peal an onion and put that under the scope (as we all used to do in elementary school) you can learn so much more of those organisms. So the impact in medicine can be amazing (considering.) Speaking of onions and food, did you know that microscopes are widely used in the food business too? Many of the processed foods that are using extra technology, require scientists to keep on digging into better ways of improving fruit quality and food quantity. So the cells are being studied and put through serious tests and examinations, to be able to find a better solution to our daily food. Even construction scientists (so material engineers) are using their microscopes to create better quality fibers and materials or make mixtures of different materials.
Guys, I could spend hours and write many pages about the applications of microscopes, but honestly it doesn’t make sense; you get the point I’m trying to make here. If you got the same passion I got, I would love to hear from you! The thing is, we can really make a difference in other people’s lives. Each and everyone of us in our respective fields, can do something great with our lives that will better those of others.
Keep on fighting the good fight, and keep on improving the microscope technology. It’s important for the existence and longevity of humanity.
