Show transcript
The cells that make up tissue can be viewed using a light microscope. A sample of tissue can be prepared on a slide to view using a microscope. Adding a stain can make it easier to see some parts of cells. Changing the magnification and focus of a light microscope enables stained cell structures to be observed. Observations from a light microscope can be recorded in a scientific line drawing.
