Study Notes
Introduction
- Presented by Dr. Nawal Sirelkhatem Omer, Associated Professor at the University of Bahri.
- The presentation is about histology.
Histology
- Histology is the study of the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs.
- It is subdivided into:
- Cytology
- Cytogenetic
- Tissue microscopy
- Tissue culture
- Histo-chemistry
- Neuro-chemistry
Importance of Histology Studies
- Students should understand the applications and limitations of different types of microscopes.
- An understanding of the preparation methods for tissues is crucial.
Types of Microscopes
- Light Microscope:
- Uses light (daylight, sun, or electric).
- Consists of eyepiece lenses, objective lenses, and a condenser lens.
- Magnifications include low power (X10), high power (X40), and oil immersion (X100).
- Resolving power is approximately 0.2 microns.
- Electron Microscope (EM):
- Uses a beam of electrons.
- Resolving power is 0.002 microns.
- Magnification up to 500,000 times.
- Types include Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).
- Ultraviolet Microscope:
- Uses ultraviolet rays as source of light.
- Magnification is double compared to a light microscope.
- Fluorescent Microscope:
- Uses short-wavelength (ultraviolet) light as a source.
- Fluorescent substances in tissues emit visible light.
- Used in histochemistry to study chemical components.
- Phase-Contrast Microscope:
- Used to study fresh tissues or living cells in culture medium.
- Detects phase differences in light passing through the specimen.
- These differences are converted into variations in light intensity to create a visible image.
Measurement Units
- 1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)
- 1 millimeter (mm) = 1000 micrometers (µm)
- 1 micrometer (µm) = 10,000 angstroms (Å)
Microscope Components (Diagram)
- Parts of a light microscope are labeled (eyepiece, objective lenses, mechanical stage, iris diaphragm, illuminator, coarse focus, fine focus, variable intensity control, arm, stage controls).
