If a microscope has dirty lenses, first gently remove any dust or debris using a soft brush or compressed air. Then, use lens paper or a microfiber cloth, along with a small amount of lens cleaning solution or distilled water, to clean the lenses in a circular motion. Avoid using rough materials or excessive pressure, as this can scratch the lenses. Finally, ensure the microscope is stored properly to prevent future contamination.

What three things have to be done before putting away a microscope?

first you turn magnification lens to lowest setting. second, you remove the slide you were looking at. third, you turn off or unplug the microscope.


How did Zachrias Jensenn invent his microscope?

Zacharias Janssen, along with his father Hans, is credited with inventing the first compound microscope in the late 16th century. They experimented with multiple lenses placed in a tube and discovered that this arrangement could magnify small objects. Their invention laid the foundation for the development of more advanced microscopes in the future.


Can tint be removed from polycarbonate lenses?

No, tint cannot be removed from polycarbonate lenses as the tint is embedded in the material during the manufacturing process. If you want to change the tint of the lenses, you would need to replace them with new tinted lenses.


Who made better lenses for the microscopes?

During the 1st century AD (year 100), glass had been invented and the Romans were looking through the glass and testing it. They experimented with different shapes of clear glass and one of their samples was thick in the middle and thin on the edges. They discovered that if you held one of these "lenses" over an object, the object would look larger. Someone also discovered that you can focus the rays of the sun with one of these special "glasses" and start a fire. These early lenses were called magnifiers or burning glasses. The word lens by the way, is derived from the Latin word lentil, as they were named because they resembled the shape of a lentil bean (look up lens in a dictionary). These lenses were not used much until the end of the 13th century when spectacle makers were producing lenses to be worn as glasses. The early simple "microscopes" which were really only magnifying glasses had one power, usually about 6X - 10X . One thing that was very common and interesting to look at was fleas and other tiny insects. These early magnifiers were hence called "flea glasses". Sometime about the year 1590, two Dutch spectacle makers, Zaccharias Janssen and his father Hans started experimenting with these lenses. They put several lenses in a tube and made a very important discovery. The object near the end of the tube appeared to be greatly enlarged, much larger than any simple magnifying glass could achieve by itself! They had just invented the compound microscope (which is a microscope that uses two or more lenses). Galileo heard of their experiments and started experimenting on his own. He described the principles of lenses and light rays and improved both the microscope and telescope. He added a focusing device to his microscope and of course went on to explore the heavens with his telescopes. Anthony Leeuwenhoek of Holland became very interested in lenses while working with magnifying glasses in a dry goods store. He used the magnifying glass to count threads in woven cloth. He became so interested that he learned how to make lenses. By grinding and polishing, he was able to make small lenses with great curvatures. These rounder lenses produced greater magnification, and his microscopes were able to magnify up to 270X! Anthony Leeuwenhoek became more involved in science and with his new improved microscope was able to see things that no man had ever seen before. He saw bacteria, yeast, blood cells and many tiny animals swimming about in a drop of water. From his great contributions, many discoveries and research papers, Anthony Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) has since been called the "Father of Microscopy". Robert Hooke, an Englishman (who is sometimes called the "English Father of Microscopy"), also spent much of his life working with microscopes and improved their design and capabilities. Little was done to improve the microscope until the middle of the 19th century when great strides were made and quality instruments like today's microscope emerged. Companies in Germany like Zeiss and an American company founded by Charles Spencer began producing fine optical instruments. Today, there are no microscope manufacturers in the US and most of the microscopes come from Germany, Japan and China. Toy plastic microscopes should be avoided as they do not achieved the level of quality of the basic instruments with metal frames and glass lenses. Because of foreign production, quality microscopes have become affordable for all. Zaccharias Janssen, the inventor of the microscope would marvel at the quality of even the most basic microscopes found in schools today.

How does a microscope let you see small objects?

It magnifies the specimen by a certain degree to make it appear larger and let you see more detail which were not visible to the naked eye. It is done with the help of lenses which are aided in microscope
