During the 1800s scientists constructed what has come to be known as cell theory.
This is where we will begin.
The theory is based on 3 important principles:1) All living things are composed of one or more cells.2) The cell is the functional unit of life.3) All cells come from pre-existing cells.
Scientific discovery oftens depends on technology available. Cell theory used technological advances in Microscopy to advance (aka THE MICROSCOPE)
Microscopes provided scientists with a new view of cells.
Greater magnification allowed them to discover smaller cells AND to gain a better understanding of how cells worked!
Magnification
Object Magnification
Fish Egg none
Human Egg 10x
Plant Cell 20x
Animal Cell 50x
Bacterium 1000x
Large Virus 10 000x
Ribosome 40 000x
Cell Membrane 100 000x
Hydrogen Atom 10 000 000x
Magnification needed to create a 1-mm image
What’s my power?To calculate the power of magnification, multiply the power of the ocular lens by the power of the objective.
What are the powers of magnification for each of
the objectives we have on our microscopes?
Fill in the table on your worksheet.

Parts of a Microscope
1. ____________________ This disk under the stage controls the amount of light that passes through the aperture.
2. ____________________ The mirror or lamp is located between these two things.
3. ____________________ The flat place under the objective lenses where you place the slide for viewing.
4. ____________________ This is the support for the entire microscope.
5. ____________________ This part supports the entire upper portion of the microscope.

6. ____________________ This provides light so that so that it is easier to see the object you are viewing.
7. ____________________ There may be 2 or 3 of these mounted to the nosepiece that magnify at different powers.
8. ____________________ Light passes from the objective lens to the eyepiece through this part of the microscope.
9. ____________________ These keep the slide from moving around the stage.
10. ___________________ Where you look into the microscope. It also provides magnification.

11. ___________________ Once the object that you would like to view comes into focus, you use this to fine-tune the image.
12. ___________________ This is the thin piece of glass where you place your specimen.
13. ___________________ You begin your focusing with this part of the microscope.
14. ___________________ The opening in the stage that allows light through.
15. ___________________ The objective lenses are mounted to this part of the microscope.

How to make a wet-mount slide …1 – Get a clean slide and coverslip from your teacher.2 – Place ONE drop of water in the middle of the slide. Don’t use too much or the water will run off the edge and make a mess!3 – Place the edge of the cover slip on one side of the water drop.
You do not need to use the stage clips when viewing wet-mount slides!
5 – Place the slide on the stage and view it first with the red-banded objective. Once you see the image, you can rotate the nosepiece to view the slide with the different objectives.
Let’s give it a try ...
1 – Turn on the microscope and then rotate the nosepiece to click the red-banded objective into place.
2 – Place a slide on the stage and secure it using the stage clips. Use the coarse adjustment knob (large knob) to get it the image into view and then use the fine adjustment knob (small knob) to make it clearer.
4 – When you are done, turn off the microscope and pick up the slides you used.
3 – Once you have the image in view, rotate the nosepiece to view it under different powers. Draw what you see on your worksheet!
Be careful with the largest objective! Sometimes there is not enough room and you will not be able to use it!
