Problem Challenge•In the past, germs and bacteria were hard to see.•It was believed that curses and spirits caused diseases. •Organisms such as bacteria were not known.

Solution Improvement

•Microscopes allowed scientists to study cells. •It taught people about sickness & it’s spread. •Gave people the ability to see how things fit and work together. •Microscopes helped scientists in research !

•The light of the microscope bounces from the mirror though the stage. Then it goes through the thin slice of glass and to the objective lenses. Next it moves through the tube until it gets to the eye piece.
