My petition:
Microscopes don't work. Stop the diagnosis of disease.
The microscope is not constructed to optimise viewing of the cell: magnification, ie, projection from the lens, would be minimised by the proximity of the lenses to the eye and the slide and by their small diameter, and viewing limited by the darkness of the cylinder and diameter of the final lens.
All magnification leads to a loss of clarity because it stretches and coarsens the image. As lens magnification increases, there will be blurring of edges, distortion, rotation, duplication and patterning before the image disappears. Instead, what we are viewing is a complex image of an object located in the microscope, the undifferentiated image of a semi-opaque slide stain over it, and the lenses of our own eye above that, with limited magnification achieved by the cylinder and projection.
