on the information technology side there are many options opening up,kpo/bpo in medical coding, research analyst,data researcher,journal editor,quality control,lab diagnosis,disaster management,pathologist,executive in research and development are some of the designations one can look for.

Opportunities in the field of microbiology .

Many microbiologists work for universities, where they teach and do research. Others work at medical centers or in private industry. Some work for government agencies. Although their jobs have different aspects and responsibilities, most microbiologists do some research or laboratory work. They use special equipment to study microorganisms including light microscopes, electron microscopes, centrifuges, glass tubes, slides, and computers. They are often assisted by biological technicians.
Microbiology is a broad field that includes the study of viruses as well as microscopic organisms found in all kingdoms of life: plants, animals, protists, fungi, and bacteria. Some microbiologists specialize in one type of microorganism. For example, bacteriologists concentrate on bacteria and virologists study viruses.
Microbiologists work in several areas. Many do basic research to increase knowledge about the life processes common to microbes. Their work helps to answer basic questions such as those pertaining to the use of food and oxygen in cells. Other microbiologists are employed in medicine. Medical microbiologists study the relationship between microorganisms and disease. They isolate and identify disease-producing organisms and study their distribution. They also study the ways that the organisms enter the bodies of humans and animals, establish themselves, and cause disease. Immunologists, for example, study the body's defensive responses to microorganisms.

THE MICROSCOPE ..

okay, before we start off with the real time research articles and development in the microbiology field, there is always a need to look back on the eminent discovery , the 'MICROSCOPE'.

The microscope is an important educational tool used in
scientific research and education. It is used to produce a
larger image of an object for projects ranging from medical
 discoveries to important scientific works.
Microscopes use technology to allow humans to view
objects as they could never be seen with the naked eye alone.

A conventional microscope was first developed during the last
part of the 16th century, which lead the world of science
toward a prospering future in the world of medicine and
 biology.
