Solution

Microscope:
A microscope is a device used to magnify small objects, so they are visible to the unaided eye.
Importance:
Biology primarily deals with the study of cells (and their contents), genes, and all creatures; microscopes are crucial tools.
Microscopes can provide magnifications of 40x to 1000x, which are necessary to see some species since they are so minute.
Microscopes allowed scientists to investigate cell structure, observe the tiniest details of plants, animals, and fungi, and learn about the presence of microbes.
