Electron Microscope - viruses
10% of RMT are not using a microscope
Different Types of Microscope
Compound Light Microscope
Electron Microscope
SEM - Scanning Electron Microscope
TEM - Transmission Microscope
Microscope
Instruments used in science and laboratories to visualize very minute objects such as cells, tissues, and microorganisms, giving contrasting images that are magnified
Microscope lenses
Made up of lenses from magnification, each with its magnification powers. Depending on the type of lens, it will magnify the specimen according to its focal strength
Microscopes allow seeing great detail of objects that are hundreds of times too small to see with the naked eye
First compound light microscope
1590
Robert Hooke pores of 'cork' under the microscope
1655
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was the First to see a single-cell organism in pond water

Using The Microscope
1. Always carry with 2 hands
2. Never touch the lenses with your fingers
3. Only use lens paper for cleaning
4. Do not force knobs
5. Keep objects clear of desks and cords
6. When finished, rotate the nosepiece to LPO, roll the stage down to the lowest level, rubber the cord, and then replace the dust cover
Focusing Specimens
1. Always start with the scanning
2. Once focused on Scanning, switch to LPO
3. Now switch to HPO
4. Scanning - use course knob
5. LPO - use course knob
6. HPO - use fine knob

Parts of the skeletal system

Functions of the skeletal system
Support the body
Protection of soft organs
Movements due to attached skeletal muscle
Storage of Minerals and fats
Blood cell formation
The human skeleton has 206 bones
Types of bone tissue
Compact bone
Spongy bone
Basic bone shapes
Long
Short
Flat
Irregular
Bone fracture
A break in bone
Types of Joints
Hinge
Ball and Socket
Rheumatoid arthritis
Usually affects joints symmetrically, may initially begin in a couple of joints only and most frequently attacks the wrists, hands, elbows, shoulders, knees, and ankles
two types of skeletal system: axial and appendicular skeleton
ligament is bone to bone
tendons is muscle to bone
Compact bone is Homogeneous
spongy bone is small needle like pieces of bone
Long bones are longer than they are wide
Short are usually square in shape, cube like
Flat are flat , curve
Irregular- odd shapes
A hinge joint allows extension and retraction of an appendage. (Elbow, Kne
A ball and socket joint allows for radial movement in almost any direction
