We were also asked to make a drawing of what was seen under the microscope. This procedure has high educational value, since the microscopic image must be intensively observed. While drawing one needs to break down the structure that is seen to a much simpler one in order to achive an image that resamples the origin. It is also possible to represent specimens which cannot be photographed. The preparation of the drawing requires a great deal of time; short-lived specimens can therefore only be reproduced imperfectly. Last time I used this technique in high school. It was a challenge but also a great excercise which could help me in the future while observing something in nature and use it as an inspiration for my art works. | We were also asked to make a drawing of what was seen under the microscope.

'''''Drawing microscopic images has several advantages, including:''''' | |||
'''Documentation:''' Drawings provide a permanent record of the observations made under the microscope, allowing for easier comparison and study of the specimen over time. | |||
'''Communication:''' Drawings can effectively communicate the details of microscopic observations to a wider audience, including other scientists and the general public. | |||
'''Understanding:''' The act of drawing a specimen can help the observer better understand and analyze its features and characteristics. | |||
'''Clarity:''' Drawings can reveal details that may not be immediately apparent through simple observation under the microscope, leading to a deeper understanding of the specimen. | |||
Overall, drawing microscopic images has played a crucial role in the advancement of the field of microscopy and our understanding of the microscopic world. | |||
