Cell serves as the functional unit of life as it involves the formation of new cells and other cellular components that are essential for life processes. The size of each cell varies from one another, and they are too small to be seen with the bare eye.
The study of the cell can be done with the help of microscopes that can magnify the size of cells and their components. Different types of microscopes can be used for the study of cells such as the light microscope, the electron microscope, and the dissecting microscope. Electron microscope proves to be the most efficient in the study of cells as it provides higher magnification and resolution to study cells.
