Introduction Microscopes have brought to light a new realm of information that originally laid dormant and invisible to the naked eye. It has enhanced biology and brought forth great advancements into the study of living organisms. Many discoveries have been achieved through the microscope. One of the major ones is the cell theory that we have talked about in this chapter. Having a microscope enables us to study even the smallest of details in organisms and allows us to conduct research. Another

2012 COMPOUND MICROSCOPE A compound microscope is an optical instrument used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye. A compound microscope is a microscope fitted with two or more convex lenses. The high magnification produced by these lenses together enables a detailed study of micro-organisms‚ cells and tissues. These types of microscopes are therefore widely used in scientific and medical research. The basic design of a compound light microscope consists of convex

Aim In this assignment I am going to carry out a practical examination on a plant (onion) and an animal (cheek) cell under a light microscope. The stain methods I am going to use are iodine for my onion cell and methylene blue for my cheek cell. Introduction All animals and plants are made up of cells. Animal and plant cells are made from millions of tiny cells‚ so small that we are unable to see them with our naked eye. Animals and plants have many features in common within a cell such

Use available evidence to assess the impact of technology‚ including the development of the microscope on the development of cell theory. Over a period of nearly 400 years‚ technology has impacted so significantly on humanities understanding of life. This is due to the development of the microscope‚ examining the invisible‚ discovering the building blocks of life‚ and the creation of the cell theory. This theory is so fundamental to our current knowledge of the functioning of living organisms.

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

Snaps will be submitted separately. 2. Describe the relationship between what you see through the eyepiece and what you see on the stage. On the stage it was not visible enough rather it looks too small‚ while in microscope it appears black and grainy. 3. Draw the image you see of the ‘e’ slide at 200x. Snaps
