Basic Microbiology
Microbiology is the branch of science that deals with microscopic organisms and their interaction with other microscopic and macroscopic organisms.
- Microorganisms are tiny microscopic organisms that are too small to be seen with naked eyes and thus, they are microscopic and can be seen only in Microscope.
- Basic microscopy deals with a vast category of studies that help in research and study related to the biochemistry, physiology, cell biology, ecology, evolution, bacteriology and clinical aspects of microorganisms, morphology of microorganisms etc.
