==Types== ===Photomicrograph=== A '''light micrograph''' or '''photomicrograph''' is a micrograph prepared using an [[optical microscope]], a process referred to as ''photomicroscopy''. At a basic level, photomicroscopy may be performed simply by connecting a [[camera]] to a microscope, thereby enabling the user to take photographs at reasonably high [[magnification]]. Scientific use began in England in 1850 by [[Richard Hill Norris]] [[Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh|FRSE]] for his studies of blood cells.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Papers of Richard Hill Norris |url=http://calmview.bham.ac.uk/GetDocument.ashx?db=Catalog&fname=US41.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107010652/http://calmview.bham.ac.uk/GetDocument.ashx?db=Catalog&fname=US41.pdf |archive-date=2017-11-07 |access-date=2017-11-04 |website=calmview.bham.ac.uk}}</ref> [[Roman Vishniac]] was a pioneer in the field of photomicroscopy, specializing in the photography of living creatures in full motion. He also made major developments in light-interruption photography and '''color photomicroscopy'''. Photomicrographs may also be obtained using a [[USB microscope]] attached directly to a home computer or laptop. ===Electron micrograph=== An '''electron micrograph''' is a micrograph prepared using an [[electron microscope]].
