JUST WONDERING...

I want to know if you can look a scab under a microscope and determine what type of sore the scab came from.  For example, if an insect bit me or I have a sore from some unknown reason, and I pick the scab off and save it.  Can I bring it to the doctor, and can he look under a microscpe to determine what insect bit me, or what type of soe I have on my body by the way the scab looks.  I have always wondered about that.  I have seen some scabs that look like dead insects and wondered if it is indeed the bug that maybe have bitten me.
