Who discovered the simple microscope?
Short answer: Zacharias Jansen Long answer: Your question is not valid for 2 reasons: 1. You cannot "discover" something if it does not exist. You should be asking who invented it, not who found it laying around somewhere. 2. A "simple microscope" is not common terminology. Simple compared to an electron microscope? or simple compared to a compound microscope? What is typically referred to as just "microscope" is technically a compound microscope. A set of multiple lenses mounted in a desktop style that allows the compounding of magnification. A compound microscope is the standard microscope in any basic lab setting. Anything more "simple" than a compound microscope would not even really be a microscope, it would either be a telescope, or simpler than that is a magnifying glass (with a single lens) The inventor of the magnifying glass was: Roger Bacon The next step up is the telescope invented by: Zacharias Jansen The next step up is the "compound microscope" which was also invented by: Zacharias Jansen (this is the simplest form of what would be recognized as or named "microscope") If you wanted to go even "simpler" and define microscope as anything that magnifies, there were reading glasses around for thousands of years prior, and even "reading stones" which were lumps of polished glass used to magnify parchment in Egypt as far back as 7000 B.C. (inventor unknown). So it really depends on how you wish to refine your meaning of simple. The magnification of anything? There is no known inventor for reading stones, his name is lost to time. Or if you mean the first invented microscope that could examine things too small for a human eye to detect, that's a compound microscope. Thus if I am guessing your meaning correctly, you meant to ask this question: Question: Who invented the compound microscope? Answer: Zacharias Jansen
What is the two function of the eyepiece on microscope?
1. To provide a stable platform, so that the eye can more easily stay focused on the object. 2. To exclude external light sources.
When was the first Microscope discoved?
The microscope was not "discovered" (that supposes it already existed but had not been found) but it was made. Quote: "Microscopes trace their history back almost 1200 years with Abbas Ibn Firnas's corrective lenses,[1] and it was Ibn al-Haytham's Book of Optics - written between 1011 and 1021 - that laid the foundation for optical research on the magnifying glass. Also, a device called the reading stone by an unknown inventor (thought to be Ibn Firnas) magnified text when laid on top of reading materials.[2] The first true microscope was made around 1595 in Middelburg, The Netherlands.[3] Three different eyeglass makers have been given credit for the invention: Hans Lippershey (who also developed the first real telescope); Sacharias Jansen; and his son, Zacharias. The coining of the name "microscope" has been credited to Giovanni Faber, who gave that name to Galileo Galilei's compound microscope in 1625.[4] (Galileo had called it the "occhiolino" or "little eye".)" From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope which is pretty trustworthy here.
What is the other function of the revolving nose piece?
The revolving nosepiece, sometimes called a "turret," contains 2 or 3 different objective lenses, each of a higher magnification. This enables the user to examine the object on the slide at different magnifications.
Darker lenses on sunglasses offer better protection from ultraviolet rays than do lighter sunglass lenses?
darker lens' are mostly for look and will block out more visible light but not the harmful UV rays. if u want glasses that will offer good protection check to see if they are polarized this is the best possible eye protection.answer 2 In rare circumstances, the intensity of the UV light may be instantly damaging. For example the light from an arc welder. In this case, very dark lenses are needed. For ordinary levels of UV, then a yellow or orange lens will effectively block UV rays. Have you seen the orange shades the folk on CSI use when they need to use a UV light source?
What uses 2 or more lenses to magnify living cells?
A microscope.
How is a simple microscope and a compound microscope different?
The difference lies in the number of lenses that each microscope has. A compound microscope has 2 or more lenses, like those found in most science classrooms. A simple microscope uses only 1 lens.
What means compound in compound microscope?
2 or more lenses.
What is the difference between a monocular microscope and a stereo microscope?
The monocular has 3 objective lenses but the stereo microscope has only 2 objective lenses
Does a compound microscope have one lens?
Most microscopes have 4 to 5 lenses. The lenses are:The three Objects (which are the three things that you use to microscope)The lens that you you put your on.And the mirror lens.
What is the different between a magnifying glass and a compound light microscope?
A magnifying glass has one lenses and a compound light microscope has 2 lenses
Which lens of a microscope is responsible for producing a magnified image on the inside of the microscope that is not seen directly by the person using the microscope?
to produce a magnified image, a microscope uses 2 convex lenses which have relatively short focal lengths to magnify small, close objects.
Is compound microscope and electron microscope same?
An optical microscope of any type uses the light passing through glass lenses. A compound microscope is simply one that uses 2 or more lenses in series. The image is formed normally either in the observer's eye or in a camera fitted to the instrument, or in certain types may be projected onto a screen. An electron microscope passes a finely-focussed beam of electrons through the sample, and creates the resulting image on a photographic film or electronic detectors. The instrument is used to resolve objects that are far smaller than are possible with optical microscopes.
What is the difference of a microscope and a human eye?
A monocular microscope has only one eyepiece while a binocular microscope has two eyepieces with different lenses. Binocular microscopes are more popular today than the monocular microscope for professional use. To learn more about microscopes and its uses visit the website in the link below.
If 2 lenses of a compound microscope are 5X and 30X what will be the total magnification?
you must multiply the two lenses getting a total of 150X
What is a microscope with 2 eyepieces?
I suppose that the question is related to monocular or binocular microscopes. Monocular is the microscope in which you use only one eye to see the specimen, you need to close one eye to see something like in the telescope. On the other hand binocular microscope have two eye pieces like normal binoculars. Hope this information be helpfully www.surMedical.com Team
Part of the microscope made up of 2 or more lens?
The body tube of a compound optical microscope contains the ocular lens, also called the eyepiece lends, and the objective lens system which consists of one or more lenses.
