Chapter 1.0 Flashcards
Who invented the compound microscope, and what were did it consist of ( magnification, parts)
The Janssen brothers
Hans and Zacherias
Composed of two convex lenses, started with a magnification of 20x.
The first individual to observe cellular composition.
Robert Hooke
The first individual to observe the movement of cells.
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek
Who aided in part of the improvement of the miscroscope?
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek.
List the magnifications if the low medium and high objective lenses.
4x, 10x, 40x.
Formula of calculation of magnification.
(Ocular lense)(objective lense)
10x)(4,10,40x
F.o.v.
Diameter of the slide, higher magnification, lower f.o.v.
Formula,
Fov1) (mag. 1) = (fov2)(mag. 2)
1000 micrometre= ?
1mm
Actual size calculation.
Fit number
* note they must be in the same units*
Scale calculation.
Actual size
The belief that living things came from non-living things is known as?
Spontaneous generation.
Who is the father if biology, who often used the scientific method to explain things around him.
Aristotle
Name those who tried to disprove spontaneous generation.
- Francessco Redi
- John Needhaum :attempted to relate it to living things.
Who disproved spontaneous generation and when?
louis Pateur in the mid 1800s
What is the cell theory.
All living things made of cells. Cells a functional// - meet all cell needs - take in nutrients - gives out waste - use energy to do work - maintains certain temperature and chemical conditions. All existing cells came from pre existing cells through mitosis ( cell division)
Types of microscopes.
- em
- tem
- sem
Electron microscope
Transmission electron microscope
Scanning electron microscope
What three factors affect what is seen under a microscope?
Magnification
Contrast
Resolution
When colours are used to increase contrast, showing specific parts of the cell. This is known as….
Staining
Steps
Laser concentrates light onto a specimen
Reflection is passed through a detector and each image is a layer of a 3d object.
What is thus defined as… As well what lights can be used along with this.
Confocal technology
Brightfield
Uv
Visible.
Magnifies 1500 000x
Scans through the specimen
Sees thin slices/ tiny
Tem
Transmission electron microscope
Can magnify up to 300 000x
Sees surface of specimen
Not as clear as similar microscope
Scanning electron microscope
Both analyze DNA and gene mapping,
Gfp
3d structure of molecules
Cell communication
Scanning tunnelling microscope
Atomic force microscope
Using xrays that scatter to project an image onto a computer screen
Sometimes used to determine DNA
X ray crystallography
GFP
Attach to cells to study parts
Aids in alzhelmers study and parkinsons disease research
Only visible under UV light
Green fluorescent protein technology
