Light Microscopes:
Definition
Anton van Leeuwenhoek- first to use microscope to see “animalcules” in rainwater
Robert Hooke- looked at cork= came up with term “cells”
Term
Compound Light Microscopes:
Definition
Passes light through a specimen
Lenses bend light to magnify
Maximum magnification- 1000x
Higher=diminish resolution
Term
Electron Microscope:
Definition
1950’s
Uses a beam of electrons
Potential to see atoms
Up to 2 nanometers (1 billionth of a meter)
Must be used in a vacuum chamber (everything is dead)
Term
Scanning EM:
Definition
Used of cell surface that was coated with metal film
3-D images
Term
Transmission EM:
Definition
Internal cell structure
Used to look at thin slices of cells that were stained with heavy metals
Term
Size of Cells:
Definition
Most plants and animals= 10-100 micrometers
Biggest= bird and nerve cells
Surface area grows at a slower rate than volume
Size depends on surface area to volume ratio
-Need for oxygen
-Removal of waste
