A technique for producing visible images of structures or details too small to otherwise be seen by the human eye.
Microscopy is a technique for producing visible images of structures or details too small to otherwise be seen by the human eye.

With the exception of techniques such as [force microscopy]? and [electron tunnel microscopy]?, microscopy usually involves the diffraction, reflection, or refraction of radiation incident upon the subject of study.

Changed: 5c5,7
In classical light microscopy, this involves passing light transmitted through or reflected from the subject through a series of lenses, to be detected directly by the eye or imaged on a photographic plate.

There is also a form of microscopy which works based on a very small probe, and recognizing perturbations of the end of the probe, due to electrical effects.
