Microscopes Of DOOM!
14
Introduction A microscope is a tool used to magnify the image of small objects. There are many types of microscopes ranging from simple light microscopes to compound microscopes (like we will use) to scanning electron microscopes (that cost more than some houses).
15
History Lenses have been used to magnify images for thousands of years. They were sometimes called “burning glasses” because they could also be used to start fires.
16
History 2 The first compound microscope was made around 1590 by two Dutch eyeglass makers – Janssen and Janssen. A compound microscope uses at least two lenses to greatly magnify an image.
17
History 3 Other famous developers of the microscope include: Galileo Galilei (he improved the original and made one that could be focused) Leeuwenhoek (he saw lots of small stuff for the first time like bacteria, yeast, and blood flowing through capillaries) Hooke (the first person to see and describe cells)
18
Safely Using A Microscope To carry a microscope put one hand under the base and another hand on the neck. Notice that this means you have NO free hands. Just carry the microscope and nothing else.Notice that this means you have NO free hands. Just carry the microscope and nothing else. If your microscope has a cord be careful not to trip over it.If your microscope has a cord be careful not to trip over it. Remember this is a tool and not a toy!Remember this is a tool and not a toy!
19
Safely Using your Microscope 2 Microscope lenses are delicate and scratch easily. Water and dust can ruin a microscope by blocking or distorting the image. Do NOT use you sleeve or a paper towel to wipe off a lens. Instead, use a piece of lens paper (Mr. Fuddy has it).
20
Safely Using a Microscope 3 Always begin using your microscope using the smallest objective lens (4X). This is called a scanning or sighting lens. Once you have found what you are looking for zoom in by turning to a higher powered lens and focusing. Always start with your focus low and move up away from the slide so that you don’t break it!
