There's the atomic force microscope working and you can see that the landing's a little rough.

This is real AFM Atomic Force Microscope data from my colleagues in the Solid State Lighting and Energy Center.

Not with the microscope.

Do you know the difference between a microscope and a telescope?

And I looked at it underneath the microscope.

We take a microscope slide.

You see under a microscope.

I've been a scanning electron microscopist for many years, I have thousands of electron micrographs, and when I'm staring at the mycelium, I realize that they are microfiltration membranes.

Please identify the bacterial specimen under the microscope.

All you're concerned of are the test tubes and microscopes.

Microscopy for 1,800 patients.

How to use the microscope?

You look wonderful.

So, you pour them out onto a surface and they start to stick to that surface, and we take a picture using an atomic force microscope.

It's got a needle, like a record needle, that goes back and forth over the surface, bumps up and down, and feels the height of the first surface.

Trace element analyses on numerous small micrometeorites were performed using neutron activation analysis, followed by scanning electron microscopy and microprobe analysis.

So again this is what they can see under the microscope.

And, secondly, to convince you that every home really ought to have a scanning electron microscope.

In October 2004, Hemanos Ameijeiras Hospital made a request to representatives of the Japanese company Hitachi High Technologies Corporation for the purchase of a new electron microscope to replace one dating back 20 years and still in use at the institution's anatomical pathology laboratory.

I mean they're incredibly small, you have to have a microscope to see one.

As I say, every home should have a scanning electron microscope to be able to see these.

This is the way a living cell looks down a light microscope.

Some chose the microscope as their instrument.

And underneath the microscope there were splinters of glass.

Trade in one electron microscope, at a cost of 400,000, was not sufficiently attractive for the company to attempt to change its trade policy.

It's like a microscope to the rest of the world.

What I did, I plucked the tag out and put it underneath the microscope.

If it passes the microscopic test, we go for a collection.

This is taken through a fiber optics microscope. It's down inside the nest.

When I look into a microscope, Driscoll,

You can look with a microscope and see them on a surface.

We'll book him on suspicion of robbery.

All these pictures were taken with a scanning electron microscope, actually in the lab at Kew Laboratories.

And under the scanning electron microscope, you can see the surface there really quite different from the other surfaces we looked at.

In the beginning you see the ants just kind of engaging with the fiber optics microscope.

It's like building a microscope or telescope and revealing new structures about our own behavior around communication.

But the small scenes, the fragments of the mirror, you remember those.

Sometimes they send you pictures of them using the microscope.

It's almost in the same way that a telescope or microscope recalibrates your eyesight I think computer simulations can recalibrate your instinct across vast scales of both space and time.

And I looked at it beneath the microscope. And some of it was flat.

And so, when you start to look at emergent systems, you can look at a neuron under a microscope.

You can see on the microscope slide here, that's what's happening in real time.

If we see something that looks interesting, we pull it into a microscope.

They draw pictures of what they're observing with their eyes, through technology like telescopes and microscopes, and also what they're thinking about in their minds.

And then finally somebody picked up a microscope and looked at the water that was sitting next to the cores.
