How have microscopes changed scientists understanding of life?

[izzybaby]

I was just wondering how microscopes have helped scientists

[Mommy]

Well...it opened the whole world of cells and bacteria.

[Rjinswand the Doctor]

They make really small things look big. So it allows scientists to understand what some thing would look like if they were bigger than they are.

[Truth]

Gave them the ability to see how things fit and inter-work together.

Pretty much proved evolution impossible as an explanation of origins because of universal complexity.

The microscope had a hand in inventing this section. The microscope brought the Cell theory into existence, which is fundamental for all biology. From the cell theory came the theory of evolution, which is very controversial amongst the religious community. Microscopes also gave us understanding of bacteria, which was a revelation within science. We now had a cause behind disease besides demonic influence.

The microscope is one of science's greatest inventions ever.
