Re: BE ALERT to short sharp stabbing pains in head!! Lucky, The reason they are suggesting an mri is for 2 reasons. The first being mris are alot more detailed than cat scans and can show things that cat scans cannot. Second they do it to cover their butts.
Quick Answer. Physicist Ernst Ruska and German engineer Max Knoll are credited with creating the first electron microscope in 1932. It permitted researchers greater magnification and resolution than traditional light microscopes.
Using handcrafted microscopes, Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first person to observe and describe single celled organisms, which he originally referred to as animalcules (which we now refer to as microorganisms). He was also the first to record and observe muscle fibres, bacteria, spermatozoa and blood flow in capillaries (small blood vessels).
