Light microscopes had been developed to a point where the quality of the lenses was not limiting the detail in the image‚ the main

nonliving has been going on for years. In order to answer this question‚ one must have background knowledge relating to the current cell theory‚ the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes‚ and the structures and functions found within cells.
