  • Principles of cell theory
    • All organisms are made from one or more cells
    • Cells are the smallest unit of life
    • All cells come from pre-existing cells
  • Microscopes
    Light microscopes, scanning electron microscopes, and transmission electron microscopes
  • Parts of a light microscope
    • Eyepiece
    • Nosepiece
    • Low power objective lens
    • Medium power objective lens
    • High power objective lens
    • Stage clips
    • Coarse adjustment
    • Diaphragm
    • Fine adjustment
  • Microscope skill: Unit conversions
    1. Kilometer
    2. Meter
    3. Decimeter
    4. Centimeter
    5. Millimeter
    6. Micrometer
    7. Nanometer
    8. Picometer
  • Microscope skill: Magnification
    Total magnification = Power of ocular lens x Power of objective lens
  • Microscope skill: Field of view
    1. Measure field diameter
    2. Convert field diameter to micrometers
    3. Calculate total magnification
  • Microscope skill: Estimating size of objects viewed
    1. Identify size (length or width)
    2. Estimate 'fit number'
    3. Use formula to calculate estimated actual size
  • What is the cell theory
    -All organisms are made up of cells
    -Cells are the smallest unit of life
    -All cells come from pre existing cells
  • What Scientist Co-founded the cell theory
    -Theodore Schwann
    -Matthias Schleiden
    -Rudolf Virchow
  • Light microscopes
    -Shine light though a thin sample
    -Samples are usually stained colours to see details
  • Scanning Electrons Microscopes
    -bombards the sample with electrons
  • Transmission Electron Microscopes
    -Sends a beam of electrons that is transmitted through an ultra thin specimen
  • what is contrast
    Used in a bright field microscopy, where light passes straight through a specimen
  • Resolution/Resolving Power

    is the ability to distinguish between to very close points
