1 Chapter 1 continued....... …… Microscopes (It would be difficult to study our cells and bacteria cells if we could not see them!!!)

2 The specimen scientists want to look at determines the types of microscopes they will use. Types of Microscopes: 1. Compound Light Microscope - Uses light to view specimen - Uses 2 lenses: ocular and objective lenses to focus and magnify specimen - Used for viewing live or dead thin specimens, can see a single cell. - Magnifies up to ~1000x

3 Chloroplasts in plant cells Chloroplasts in plant cells Figure 4.5Bx2

4 2. Stereoscope or Dissecting Microscope - Gives a 3-D image - Uses light to view specimen - Can be used to view larger live or dead specimens - Not capable of high magnification

7 3. Electron Microscopes - Uses a beam of electrons to view specimen - Capable of high magnifications - Uses electromagnets to magnify and focus image - Can only view dead specimens!!!!

9 -There are 2 types: - SEM: Scanning Electron Microscope - Scans the surface of the specimen - Gives a 3-D image of a whole specimen

12 - TEM: Transmission Electron Microscope - Sends a beam of electrons through a thin specimen. - Gives a 2-D image of internal cell parts.
