the development of the light microscope many scientists were able to view microscopic objects such as cells. The first to accomplish this was Robert Hooke when he used a light microscope to observe a thin slice of cork. Hooke observed that the cork was made of tiny structures of which he called cells. Hooke was in fact looking at the cell walls of dead plant cells that make up the cork. After Hooke‚ a Dutch scientist named Anton van Leeuwenhoek used the light microscope to observe living cells inside

The microscope has been one of the greatest inventions in the history of science and has had the most impact on the course of science. Ever since the first microscope was invented in 1590‚ they have improved our knowledge in basic biology and biomedical research‚ as well as many other things‚ all of which are important. The smallest object a human can see with the naked eye is 0.2 mm‚ for example‚ algae cells. The light microscope‚ however‚ allows us to see things almost 1000 times smaller that what

disadvantages of a light microscope and electron microscope? Some of the disadvantages of the light microscope include‚ that since it send light‚ the light waves are diffracted as they pass through the matter. Because of this‚ light microscopes can only produce clear images of objects to a magnification of about 1000 times. Another problem is that since most living cells are nearly transparent‚ you can’t see them. So you have to use dyes to stain them. The advantage of using a light microscope however is that

magnification that can be achieved by an electron microscope. * explain the need for staining samples for use in electron microscopy Lesson 2 * calculate linear magnification of an image such as photomicrograph or electron micrograph Key words * Resolution= the ability to distinguish 2 separate points as distinct from each other. * Magnification= the number of times greater an image is than the actual object itself. Light microscopes have a low resolution‚ therefore if the magnification

introduction of the microscope as a tool for the biologist brought about a complete reappraisal of the micro- composition of biological tissues‚ organisms and cells. In the infancy of its application to organic materials‚ it was the implement of anatomists and histologists in particular‚ where previously unimagined structures in cells were revealed. More recent developments in biological specimen preparation have come from biochemists and physicists who have used the microscope to examine cells and

Asses the impact of the development of the electron microscope on our understanding of the cell and it’s role in cell theory. Since the invention of the electron microscope in 1928 scientists have been able to study the ultrastructure of cells‚ that is‚ parts smaller than what can be seen with a light microscope‚ otherwise known as organelles and their functions. Light microscopes had been developed to a point where the quality of the lenses was not limiting the detail in the image‚ the main

How microscopes have contributed to our understanding of living organisms There are 2 types of microscopes these are; light microscope and electron microscope. Light microscopes use a beam of light however the resolution is lower than the electron microscope so the image is not clear‚ however they can view living organisms. These types of microscopes are used in schools to view simple cellular structures‚ which is good to teach simple biology Mitosis and meiosis can be seen with light microscopes

electron microscopes in biological studies. Microscopes are laboratory equipment which are used to observe any matter that is too small to be seen by the naked eye. There are several types of microscopes – the two most common being the optical microscope‚ also known as a light microscope‚ and the electron microscope‚ which can be either a transmission electron microscope (TEM) or a scanning electron microscope (SEM). There are more differences than similarities between light microscopes and electron
