History of Microscopy
• Founding Fathers Of Microscopy:Hans and Zacharias Janssen, ~1590, Dutch Eyeglass Makers, Inventors Credit for the first microscope is usually given to Zacharias Janssen, pictured at the left, in Middleburg, Holland, around the year 1595. Since Zacharias was very young at that time, it's possible that his father Hans made the first one, but young Zach took over the production.
• The first compound microscopes produced by the Janssen's was simply a tube with lenses at each end. The magnification of these early scopes ranged from 3X to 9X, depending on the size of the diaphragm openings.

History of Microscopy
• Anton van Leeuwenhoek, 1632-1723, Wine Assayer, Surveyor, Cloth Merchant, Minor Public Official, and Inventor Leeuwenhoek was a man with many talents, his most important attributes were creativity, power of observation, and ingenuity. Leeuwenhoek was a common man without any fortune or formal education, so he had to work for a living. Leeuwenhoek made simple (one lens) microscopes. He was not the first person to build a microscope, but the microscopes that he did build were the best ones for that time period. Leeuwenhoek was the first person to describe bacteria (from teeth scrapings), protozoans (from pond water), helped to prove the theory of blood circulation. He gained much of his inspiration form reading Hooke's Micrographia.

History of Microscopy• Robert Hooke, 1635-1703, English Chemist, Mathematician,
Physicist, and Inventor Hooke's remarkable engineering abilities enabled him to invent and improve many mechanical devices, including timepieces (for which he invented the spiral spring), the quadrant, and the Gregorian telescope. Perhaps even more intriguing than his actual inventions are the devices he designed but never built: he anticipated the invention of the steam engine, and as early as 1684 he described a working telegraph system.
• Hooke balanced his inventions with more pure research. Hooke improved on early compound microscopes around 1660. In Micrographia (1665), he coined the word cell to describe the features of plant tissue (cork from the bark of an oak tree) he was able to discover under the microscope. He put his extensive mathematical knowledge in formulating the theory of planetary movement, which provided a basis for Sir Isaac Newton's theories of gravitation. In 1667 he discovered the role of oxygenation in the respiratory system.

The Light Microscope
• many types– bright-field microscope– dark-field microscope– phase-contrast microscope– fluorescence microscopes
• are compound microscopes– image formed by action of 2 lenses
![Page 15: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• In a compound microscope the image from the objective lens is magnified again by the ocular lens.
• Total magnification =objective lens ocular lens

Using the Microscope
![Page 21: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Bright-Field Microscope
• produces a dark image against a brighter background
• has several objective lenses– parfocal microscopes remain in
focus when objectives are changed
• total magnification– product of the magnifications of
the ocular lens and the objective lens
![Page 22: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Dark-Field Microscope
• produces a bright image of the object against a dark background
• used to observe living, unstained preparations
![Page 23: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The Phase-Contrast Microscope
• enhances the contrast between intracellular structures having slight differences in refractive index
• excellent way to observe living cells
The intact chloroplasts and broken chloroplasts can be differentiated by phase contrast microscopy:

The Differential Interference Contrast Microscope
• creates image by detecting differences in refractive indices and thickness of different parts of specimen
• excellent way to observe living cells
![Page 26: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Scanning Probe Microscopy
• scanning tunneling microscope– steady current (tunneling
current) maintained between microscope probe and specimen
– up and down movement of probe as it maintains current is detected and used to create image of surface of specimen
![Page 34: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Scanning Probe Microscopy
• atomic force microscope– sharp probe moves over
surface of specimen at constant distance
– up and down movement of probe as it maintains constant distance is detected and used to create image
![Page 35: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Electron Microscopy
• beams of electrons are used to produce images
• wavelength of electron beam is much shorter than light, resulting in much higher resolution

![Page 36: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Scanning Electron Microscope
• uses electrons reflected from the surface of a specimen to create image
• produces a 3-dimensional image of specimen’s surface features
![Page 37: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Visualizes Surface Features
Specimens are coated with metals to deflect electrons from a beam scanned across the sample.

The Transmission Electron Microscope
• electrons scatter when they pass through thin sections of a specimen
• transmitted electrons (those that do not scatter) are used to produce image
• denser regions in specimen, scatter more electrons and appear darker
![Page 42: Review of the Microscope](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012311/56813f1e550346895da9bc22/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
In Transmission Electron Microscopy, Magnetic Lenses Replace Glass As a Means of Focusing Electromagnetic Waves
The shorter wavelength of the accelerated electrons permits much higher resolution.
