Significance of Microscopy
Microscopy, as defined in both Ayurveda and Science, involves using microscopes to examine small structures, particularly at the cellular and tissue levels. This method is essential for studying the properties of substances like IgY and confirming the authenticity of powdered drugs by examining the anatomical details of plant materials. It also aids in identifying and characterizing various plants, such as Justicia secunda and Vatsanabh roots, revealing their microscopic features and structural characteristics crucial for authenticating herbal medicines.
