1 Chapter 4 A Tour of the Cell

2 The Art of Looking at Cells
Artists have long found inspiration in the visual richness of the living world Conversely, scientists use art to illuminate their findings Micrographs show structures as scientists see them Drawings can emphasize details

4 INTRODUCTION TO THE CELL
4.1 Microscopes provide windows to the world of the cell A light microscope (LM) enables us to see the overall shape and structure of a cell Passes visible light through a specimen Can study living cells and cells and tissues that have been stained Can magnify only about 1,000 times Video: Euglena

5 Eyepiece Ocular lens Objective lens Specimen Condenser lens Light
LE 4-1a Eyepiece Ocular lens Objective lens Specimen Condenser lens Light source

6 Magnification is the increase in the apparent size of an object; for example, 1,000X

7

8 Resolution is a measure of the clarity of an image
A light microscope can resolve objects as small as 2 m

9

10 The electron microscope (EM) allows greater magnification than LM and reveals cellular details
Uses a beam of electrons rather than light Has much greater resolution than LM (2 nm) Can magnify up to 100,000 times Cannot be used with living specimens

11 Scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies detailed architecture of cell surfaces

12

13 Transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies the details of internal cell structure

14

15 Modifications to LM use different techniques to enhance contrast and selectively highlight cellular components

18 4.2 Most cells are microscopic
Cells vary in size and shape Minimum is determined by the total size of all the molecules required for cellular activity Maximum is limited by the need for sufficient surface area to carry out functions

Chicken egg Frog egg Most plant and animal cells Light microscope Nucleus Most bacteria Mitochondrion Mycoplasmas (smallest bacteria) Electron microscope Viruses Ribosome Proteins Lipids Small molecules Atoms

20 A small cell has a greater ratio of surface area to volume than a large cell of the same shape
The microscopic size of most cells ensures a sufficient surface area across which nutrients and wastes can move to service the cell
