The type of the microscope that you use to study (a) the change in shape of a living white blood cell and (b) the details of surface texture of a hair.
Introduction:
Microscope is an instrument that is used to see objects that are not visible from the naked eyes. It was first used by scientist of Renaissance. There are three important parameters in microscopy which are magnification, resolution and contrast.
