1 Microscopy Light and Electron Microscopy

2 The First Light Microscopes Around 1590 Zaccharias and Hans Janssen experimented with lenses in a tube, leading to the forerunner of the microscope and the telescope Around 1590 Zaccharias and Hans Janssen experimented with lenses in a tube, leading to the forerunner of the microscope and the telescope In the late 1600’s, Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first to see bacteria, yeast, and many other microbes using a microscope In the late 1600’s, Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first to see bacteria, yeast, and many other microbes using a microscope

3 How Light Microscopes Work First, the objective lens gathers light from the specimen and magnifies the image First, the objective lens gathers light from the specimen and magnifies the image Most microscopes have several objective lenses that can be rotated into position to provide different levels of magnification (4X, 10X, 40X) Most microscopes have several objective lenses that can be rotated into position to provide different levels of magnification (4X, 10X, 40X) The ocular lens in the eyepiece magnifies and transmits the image to your eye The ocular lens in the eyepiece magnifies and transmits the image to your eye The magnification of the ocular lens is 10X The magnification of the ocular lens is 10X

4 To find the total magnification of the microscope you are using, multiply the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the ocular lens. To find the total magnification of the microscope you are using, multiply the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the ocular lens. For example: 40X (objective lense) x 10X (ocular lense) = 400X magnification For example: 40X (objective lense) x 10X (ocular lense) = 400X magnification

5 The Parts of a Light Microscope Light source: Could be a mirror, but most likely it is a bulb built into the base Light source: Could be a mirror, but most likely it is a bulb built into the base Diaphragm: Adjusts the amount of light striking an object Diaphragm: Adjusts the amount of light striking an object Objective lens: Gathers light and magnifies image Objective lens: Gathers light and magnifies image Ocular lens (eyepiece): Magnifies objects and focuses light to your eye Ocular lens (eyepiece): Magnifies objects and focuses light to your eye Stage: Holds slide Stage: Holds slide Can be moved using the coarse or fine adjustment knobs to bring the object into focus Can be moved using the coarse or fine adjustment knobs to bring the object into focus Stage clips: Hold slide in place Stage clips: Hold slide in place Base and arm: Structural support for the microscope Base and arm: Structural support for the microscope

6 Can you name the parts? Start on the left side and work from the top down. Then go to the right side and work from the top down. Nice Job !

9 Beyond Light Microscopes Light microscopes are limited by their resolution. Light microscopes are limited by their resolution. Light microscopes cannot produce clear images of objects smaller than 0.2 micrometers Light microscopes cannot produce clear images of objects smaller than 0.2 micrometers The electron microscope was invented in the 1930’s by Max Knott and Ernst Ruska The electron microscope was invented in the 1930’s by Max Knott and Ernst Ruska Electron microscopes use beams of electrons, rather than light, to produce images Electron microscopes use beams of electrons, rather than light, to produce images Electron microscopes can view objects as small as the diameter of an atom Electron microscopes can view objects as small as the diameter of an atom

11 Types of Electron Microscopes Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) pass a beam of electron through a thin specimen Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) pass a beam of electron through a thin specimen Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) scan a beam of electrons over the surface of a specimen Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) scan a beam of electrons over the surface of a specimen Specimens from electron microscopy must be preserved and dehydrated, so living cells cannot be viewed Specimens from electron microscopy must be preserved and dehydrated, so living cells cannot be viewed
