Microscopy University

Here's a great site that will teach you all about Microscopy. It goes over basic concepts, has flash tutorials, and great galleries of videos and images.

WIKI: Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view samples or objects. There are three well-known branches of microscopy, optical, electron and scanning probe microscopy.
