MICROSCOPE Flashcards
Used to magnify an object to a point where it can be seen by the human eye.
Magnifying glass
Used to magnify an object to a point where it can be seen by the human eye.
Magnifying glass
Is the science of investigating small objects and structures using such an instrument
Microscopy
Invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope
Microscopic
Art of GRINDING LENSES is developed in Italy and SPECTACLES are made to improve eyesight
14th century
The first to make microscope by placing two lenses in a tube
Dutch lens grinders Hans and Zacharias Janssen
What year did Dutch lens grinders Hans and Zacharias Janssen make the first microscope
1590
He studied various object with his microscope and publishes his results in MICROGRAPHIA. Among his work was description of cork and its ability to float in water.
Robert Hooke (1667)
Uses a simple Microsoft with only one lens to look at blood, insects and many other objects. Was first to describe cells and bacteria, seen through his very small microscope with, for his time, extremely good lenses.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek (Father of Microscopy) 1675
Several technical innovations make microscopes better and easier to handle, which leads to microscopy becoming more and more popular among scientists.
18th century
An important discovery is that lenses
combining two types of glass could _____, with its disturbing halos resulting from
reduce the chromatic effect, differences in refraction of light
He reduces the problem with spherical
aberration by showing that several
weak lenses used together at certain distances gave good magnification without blurring the image.
Joseph Jackson Lister (1830)
This reduces the problem with spherical
aberration by showing:
several weak lenses used together
three structural parts of the microscope
Head, Base, Arms
it carries the optical parts in the upper part of the microscope
Basta dile na mao pag mag hunahuna kag letter E
Head
it acts as the microscope’s support; it also carries the microscopic illuminators
Base
the part that connects the base to the head and the eyepiece tube to the base of the microscope; it gives support to the head and used when carrying the microscope
Arms
usually equipped with 10x lenses. The lenses
magnify the intermediate image formed by the objective lens in the optical
tube. They also limit the area of visibility
Eyepiece or oculars
prevents scratching of lens by the user’s eyeglass or
vice versa
Eyepiece rubbers
for differences in eye grading especially for
those wearing prescription glasses
Numbers on the eyepiece
used to adjust the lateral separation of the oculars for each individual
(I P C)
Interpupillary control
It provides a structural site of attachment for the revolving nosepiece.
Yes it can be two
Arm or neck
holds the objectives and allows for easy rotation from one objective to another.
Revolving nosepiece
Controls the height limit of the stage to prevent breakage of glass slide
