Learning Targets 1. Describe how a microscope works. 2. Calculate the total magnification of an image. 3. Compare the different types of microscopes. Why? To see microscopic world
15
How does a microscope work? Magnification enlargement of an object compare size of image to actual size of object total magnification ocular power x objective power = total magnification
16
Microscopes
17
Resolution – capacity to show 2 points that are close together as separate.. 10x1000x Poor Resolution = Blurry Image Good Resolution = Clear Image
18
Resolution
19
How does a microscope work? Parfocal both low and high power objectives are adjusted to the same focus easily switch between both objectives
20
What happens as magnification increases? 1. field of view decreases 2. brightness decreases 3. resolving power increases
21
Staining Coloring cell structure With dyes to reflect light Certain cell parts absorb certain stains Kills cells or disturbs contents Vital stains-dyes that highlight structures in living cells
22
What are the different types of microscopes? Compound light microscope Stereoscopic dissecting microscope Electron microscope
23
Compound Light Microscope
24
has 2 or more lenses (eyepiece and objective) uses transmitted light (light passes through object) must use thin specimen so light can pass thru can use live specimens usually doesn’t exceed total mag. of 2000x Our scopes in class are capable of 400x only see specimen in 2D
25
Compound Microscope Images Human Hair (x 400) Mite Paramecium
26
Compound Light Microscope Structures & Functions
27
Compound Light Microscope Eyepiece/Ocular – The lens through which the scientist looks Body Tube – Connects eyepiece to microscope Revolving Nosepiece – Holds 3-4 objectives (magnifying lens), turns for objective selection.
28
Compound Light Microscope Scanning Objective - Used for locating objects & scanning the slide quickly (Red Line- 4X) Lowest power objective Low Power Objective – Lens that allows you to find & center the object on a slide. Yellow line around the objective (10x) High Power Objective - Lens that zooms in for closer viewing (40X) Blue line around high power
29
Compound Light Microscope Stage – platform upon which the slide rests Mechanical Stage – movable clips that hold & move the slide Iris Diaphragm – transparent lens through which light travels. Size and brightness can be adjusted. Lamp – light source needed for viewing the specimen
30
Stereoscopic Dissecting Microscope uses reflected light to produce image range of magnification 10x-60x
31
Images from a Stereoscope Penny – Abe’s face Penny – back Beetle
32
Stereo Dissecting Microscope 2 eyepieces to produce 3-D image Uses reflected light to illuminate surface of specimen Used on large objects which light cannot pass through Magnifies object 5x – 60x
33
Electron Microscope 2 Types Scanning electron microscope (SEM) Transmission electron microscope (TEM)
34
Electron Microscope Discovered in Germany in 1930’s and 1940’s Uses beam of electrons to see image NOT light Image is produced on a T.V. monitor in black & white (no light) Much higher resolution Limitations Can’t view living things due to vacuum in interior Very expensive Very big, must have own foundation
35
Transmission electron microscope (TEM) Electrons go through very thin slice of specimen – detailed image on T.V. screen 200,000x (can be increased to 1,000,000x)
36
Images from a TEM Bacteria E.coli bacteria dividing Leaf
37
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) Beam of electrons across a whole specimen (sprayed with fine metal coating) 3 dimensional view of surface features on T.V. screen 100,000x
38
Scanning Electron Microscope uses reflected electrons to produce image
39
Images from a SEM Dentist Drill (x 50) Hypodermic Needle (x 100) Mosquito (x 100) Toilet Paper (x 500)
