Silo (with spoilers)

"Silo" is a science-fiction series streaming on Apple TV+. It's excellent. If you haven't started watching it, do so now, and don't read any further!

I find some aspects of the plot puzzling.

Why is there a rule against microscopy?

Do the people who go outside really die quickly, or is this just part of the deception? If they really die quickly, what is killing them?

After a power outage the view from the cafeteria briefly showed the outside as it really is, all green and nice, before the deceptive view kicked in. Did any of the characters notice this?

In the most recent episode, things are looking very bad for Juliette. The mayor and the boss of "judicial" captured her and made a veiled threat to send her outside, whereupon she broke away and leaped into the central core of the Silo. How can she possibly survive?

Episode 10 of season 1 answered most of my questions in the OP, but I still don't get the prohibition against microscopes.

According to Wikipedia (see below) "The show was renewed for a second season in June 2023."

Enter "Silo (TV series)" into Wikipedia to read the article.
