Community for identifying and discussing microphotographs as well as microscopy techniques, news and microbial processes in general.

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view subjects too small to be seen with the naked eye.

There are three well-known branches of microscopy: optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopy, along with the emerging field of X-ray microscopy.
