o1609 o1665 o1674 o18th century1830 o19th century to present
4. 1st century CE (0 99 CE) oThe Romans invented glasses,
studied and tested them. oThey were able to reshape the glasses in
such a way that one side is thick and one side is thin. oThe
glasses were placed above an object, and it became bigger. oThats
the birth of lenses. 0 AD 1200 1300 15951609 1674 1665 18301700

5. Late 13th century oLenses were used as spectacles for people
with blurred vision. oThese lenses are the first microscope (with 6
to 10x magnifying power). 0 AD 1200 1300 15951609 1674 1665

6. 1595 oZacharias Jansen, with the help of his brother, Hans,
came up with the discovery of the first compound microscope. oIt
has two or more lenses. 0 AD 1200 1300 15951609 1674 1665 18301700

7. 1609 oGalileo Galilei heard Janssens remarkable creation. He
created an almost similar model to see faraway objects. oHe created
the telescope, which was originally named as spyglass. 0 AD 1200

8. 1665 oAnton van Leeuwenhoek created a high magnifying power
lens, thus regarding him as the Father of Microscopy. oHe is first
one to observe bacteria and protozoan which he called animalcules.

9. 1674 oRobert Hooke, the Father of Cytology, made his
compounds microscope and observed little boxes from the thin slice
of cork which he called cells. 0 AD 1200 1300 15951609 1674 1665

10. 1830 oJoseph Jackson Lister improved the ability of
compound microscopes. oHe discovered that using weak lenses
together at various distances provided clear magnification. 0 AD

11. 19th century to present (1800s present) oDevelopment of
microscopes continue. Today, we have now different types of
microscopes aside from lenses and compound microscopes. 0 AD 1200

12. 19th century to present (1800s present) oIn 2013, the
University of Victoria launched the most powerful microscope.
oEngr. Prof. Rodney Herring shows the electron microscope he
designed, and which in March created the highest resolution image
yet, on the order of the fraction of the width of an atom. oThe
microscope is 4.5 m tall. 0 AD 1200 1300 15951609 1674 1665

13. There are two types of microscopes: simple and compound.
oSimple microscopes have one lens and have a weaker magnifying
power (5x) (ex. magnifying glass) oCompound microscopes have two or
more lenses with powerful magnification. The types of microscopes
on the next slide are all compound microscopes.
14. COMMON TYPES OF COMPOUND MICROSCOPES oCompound Light
Microscope (CLM) oElectron Microscope 1. Transmission Electron
Microscope (TEM) 2. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
15. Electron Microscopes oSo complex they can magnify up to
100,000 x oUses beam of electrons and electromagnets (not light) to
focus objects oHave two types (next slide)
16. Transmission Electron MS (TEM) oMagnification:
10,000-100,000 x oCommonly used to view layers and details of the
specimen oViews 2D images only
17. Scanning Electron MS (SEM) oMagnification: 1,000- 10,000 x
oCommonly used to study the surface of a specimen and particularly
for cellular and viral studies oViews 3D images
18. Assignment (by group): Bring the following tomorrow 1.
Cartolina (any color) 2. Colored pens 3. Color 4. Other art
materials You will draw and label the parts of the microscope. The
picture in your book (p. 91) will serve as a guide but if you like
a larger and more detailed picture, you can print another one.
