The Invention of the Microscope
• Renaissance invention (Mid 1600s)• Credited for invention: Anton Van Leeuenhoek• Constructed simple curved glass lenses in combination

Improvement of the Microscope
• Robert Hooke• English biologist who discovered cells• Increased magnification with improved lenses

Modern Compound Light Microscopes
Uses 2 lenses in combination to magnify an image
Can view objects too small to be seen with unaided eye
Object must be thin enough for light to pass through
Can view living things
Typical magnification 100x to 1000x
See your packet for a detailed discussion of:• Parts and their functions• Proper use and handling• Procedures for making a wet mount

Pushing the Limits: Electron Microscopes
• A light microscope cannot be used to distinguish objects that are smaller than half the wavelength of light
• Any object with a diameter smaller than 0.275 micrometers will be invisible or, at best, show up as a blur
• Electrons are speeded up in a vacuum until their wavelength is extremely short, only one hundred-thousandth that of white light.
• Electron microscopes were developed in the 1930s

Electron Microscopes
• Uses a beam of electrons to view the specimen (not light)
• Specimen viewed must be prepared in a vacuum (no air molecules) therefore living things cannot be viewed using this type of scope
• Magnifies up to 200,000x magnification

Scanning Electron Microscope or SEM
• Bounces electrons off the surface of the object
• Produces a 3 dimensional image of the object

Transmission Electron Microscope
• Electrons pass through the object forming a one dimensional picture
• Allows one to view the inside of an object (ex. internal structure of a cell)
