Light Microscopes And Electron Microscopes

it can magnify up to 500,000 times == == == == == Electron microscopes are expensive to build and maintain, but the capital and running costs of confocal light microscope systems now overlaps with those of basic electron microscopes. They are dynamic rather than static in their operation, requiring extremely stable high-voltage supplies, extremely stable currents to each electromagnetic coil/lens, continuously-pumped high- or ultra-high-vacuum systems, and a cooling water supply circulation through the lenses and pumps. As they are very sensitive to vibration and external magnetic fields, microscopes designed to achieve high resolutions must be housed in stable buildings (sometimes underground) with special services such as magnetic field cancelling systems. Some desktop low voltage electron microscopes have TEM capabilities at very low voltages (around 5 kV) without stringent voltage supply, lens coil current, cooling water or vibration isolation requirements and as such are much less expensive to buy and far easier to install and maintain, but do not have the same ultra-high (atomic scale) resolution capabilities as the larger instruments. The samples largely have to be viewed in vacuum, as the molecules that make up air would scatter the electrons. One exception is the environmental scanning electron microscope, which allows hydrated samples to be viewed in a low-pressure (up to 20 Torr/2.7 kPa), wet environment.

The simple microscope used a single lens, what we would now call a magnifying glass. They had a magnification up to 10 times so were not powerful. They seem to have made their first appearance at the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14 century. The Romans knew something about the properties of lenses but did not see the potential for them.

The compound microscope used two or more lenses and the principle was credited to Zaccharius Janssen and Hans Jannsen, his son. It took Galileo to properly understand the principles and produce the first practical microscope early in the 17th century. Many others who followed took the ideas and refined them to increase clarity and magnification.

As with so many inventions, the first practical devices were based on the work of many people rather than just one person.

The scanning electron microscope was invented in the 1960s. The first commercial scanning electron microscope was introduced in 1965 by Cambridge Instruments.

The dark-field microscope was not invented by a single individual, but rather developed as a technique to improve contrast in microscopy. It was first described in the late 19th century by various scientists, including Ernst Abbe and Felix Dujardin.

There are reflective microscopes (similar in design to a telescope), and transmission microscopes where the objective is on the other sample and used for looking at slides. There are phase-contrast microscope, electron microscopes and scanning tunneling microscope.

The part of a microscope that lets light pass to the eyepiece is the condenser. Its main function is to focus and direct light onto the specimen to enhance the contrast and brightness of the image viewed through the eyepiece.

The microscope was invented to enable scientists to see and study objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. It allows researchers to observe cells, microorganisms, and other tiny structures, leading to important discoveries in biology, medicine, and many other fields.

microscopes are used in labs, medical field, surgeries, astronomy and crime investigation field

Zacharias Janssen and his father, Hans Janssen, are credited with inventing the first compound microscope in the late 16th century. This early microscope was a simple instrument with two lenses that could magnify objects. It consisted of a tube with lenses at each end and could magnify objects up to nine times their actual size.

A microscope allows the human eye to examine tiny particles that otherwise cannot be seen.

In the past 100 years, microscopes have evolved with advancements in technology. They have become more powerful, compact, and versatile, allowing for higher magnification and resolution. Modern microscopes also incorporate digital imaging systems, enabling researchers to capture, analyze, and share images more effectively. Additionally, there have been improvements in techniques such as fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy, further enhancing the capabilities of microscopes.

The four main types of microscopes are the Light Microscope, Electron Microscope, the Transition electron microscope and Scanning electron microscope.

The most powerful microscope is currently the electron microscope, specifically the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). These microscopes use beams of electrons to achieve magnifications up to millions of times, allowing for incredibly detailed imaging of samples at the atomic level.

A compound microscope is used to magnify small objects such as algae, bacteria, diseases, etc.

A "Negative Experiment" is one where the expected result of the experiment is not found. These experiments are critically important and represent important work in Physics. The Michelson-Morley experiment, a "negative experiment" is one of the most important in the history of science. It was an test to measure the influence of the presumed etheric medium on a beam of light. No effect was found. Thus no ether.

The dark field microscope was invented in the late 19th century by Friedrich Richard Abbe. The exact year of its invention was around 1868-1869. This microscope design helped improve the visibility of transparent specimens by enhancing contrast.

Robert hook was the first person to look through a compound microscope created by him self. Anton van Leeuwenhoek was also one of the first to see through a microscope. Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow. In 1838, matthias concluded that all plants are made of cells. He based this conclusion on his own research and on the research of others before him. The next year, Theodor Schwann concluded that all animals are also made up of cells and all living things are made up of cells. In 1855, Rudolf proposed that new cells are formed only from cells that already exist. "All cells come from cells,".

The light microscope was invented by Zacharias Janssen and Hans Lippershey in the late 16th century. They were spectacle makers from the Netherlands who are credited with creating one of the earliest versions of the compound microscope.

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.

Microscopes were invented to let people look at very small things, most notably water, and see what is in them. The first was invented in 1590, by two eyeglass makers (Hans Lippershey and Hans Janssen).
