Today’s Lecture Summary: Microscopes A Tour of the Cell
2
Reading Assignment: Chapter 4
3
Learning Outcomes: By the end of today’s lecture, you should be able to: Recognize the different kinds of images seen through different microscopes Identify the major parts and functions of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
4
How we study cells: Light microscope (LM) Dissecting Microscope Transmission electron microscope (TEM) Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
5
Magnification: - the ratio of an object’s image to its real size (e.g. 40X, 100X) Resolving power: - the measure of the clarity of an image - the minimum distance two points can be separated and still be distinguished as being separate
6
Light/Compound Microscope: - uses light to magnify an object - gives a 2-D image - the different images are based on the various staining techniques used
7
Dissecting Microscope: - uses light to magnify an object - gives a 3-D image
8
Electron microscopes: specimen preparation kills the cells have a higher resolution than LM TEM:SEM: 2-D images3-D images
9
1 cm = 1/100m 1mm = 1/1000m 1μm = 1 micrometer = 1 millionth of a meter 1nm = 1 nanometer = 1 billionth of a meter Light and electron microscopes have different magnification and resolving powers.
