Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

  • During his time, scientists believed that microscopic organisms caused disease.
  • He invented a lens to see the organisms.
  • He discovered organisms in plaque, blood cells, sperm, various microorganisms, bacteria, protists, and fungi.

Edward Jenner (1749–1823)

  • Jenner is considered the father of immunology.
  • He pioneered the concept of vaccines and discovered the smallpox vaccine.
  • His work is credited with saving more lives than any other individual.

Louis Pasteur (1822–1895)

  • Pasteur, a chemist and microbiologist, studied fermentation and spontaneous generation.
  • He developed vaccines for anthrax and rabies.
  • Pasteur is also known for his advancements in pasteurization.

Robert Koch (1843–1910)

  • Koch is considered the father of medical bacteriology.
  • He developed Koch's postulates, which outline the steps for identifying the causative agents of infectious diseases by isolating the bacteria and cultivating the culture in the lab.
  • He is known for discovering the bacteria responsible for cholera, tuberculosis, anthrax, and septicemia.
  • Koch's postulates are no longer always reliable due to advanced molecular techniques and genetic markers.

Ignaz Semmelweis (1818–1865)

  • Semmelweis promoted sanitation in hospitals.
  • His work showed the reduction of disease through handwashing.
  • He introduced chlorinated solutions for handwashing to decrease maternity ward mortality to less than 1%.

Joseph Lister (1827–1912)

  • Lister, the father of aseptic surgery, used carbolic acid to disinfect surgical instruments and sterilize air.
  • His work prevented infections and complications following surgery.

John Snow (1813–1858)

  • Snow was a pioneer in epidemiological studies.
  • He traced a cholera epidemic in 1854 in London.
  • His work prevented further cholera outbreaks, established improved sanitation, and led advancements in anesthesia and hygiene.

Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)

  • Nightingale established nursing as an art and science.
  • She distinguished nursing from medicine and recognized the personal needs of patients.
  • She set standards for hospital management and established nursing education.

Paul Ehrlich (1854–1915)

  • Ehrlich, the father of chemotherapy, investigated hematology, immunology, and antimicrobial chemotherapy.
  • He developed methods of staining tissues and created Salvarsan, the first effective treatment for syphilis.
  • Salvarsan was also known as the "magic bullet."

Alexander Fleming (1881–1955)

  • Fleming discovered lysozyme, an antimicrobial property in bodily fluids.
  • He discovered penicillin, the first widely utilized antibiotic.
  • His discovery was serendipitous.

Willoughby Miller (1853–1907)

  • Miller was a dentist and the first oral microbiologist.
  • He discovered that tooth decay is a result of bacterial metabolism, which he called the "chemicoparasitic theory").

Carl Woese (1928–2012)

  • Woese studied bacterial genetics and discovered that hot spring bacteria from Yellowstone National Park had unique genomes compared to other organisms.
  • He proposed the Three-Domain System of classification, which includes Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.

Microscopy

  • Microscopes use visible light to study small objects, like microorganisms.

  • Bright-field microscopy illuminates an entire specimen.

  • Dark-field microscopy uses a dark field and does not directly illuminate the specimen.

  • Phase-contrast microscopy detects small differences in refractive indices, used to study living organisms.

  • Fluorescence microscopy uses UV light to cause molecules to emit longer wavelengths, creating a bright field image.

  • Electron microscopy uses electrons instead of light, allowing for immense resolution and magnification.

  • Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) resolves down to 1 nm, and examines internal structures (thin samples are necessary).

  • Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) resolves down to 20 nm, and generates images of the surface of samples.

Microorganism Size Comparison

  • The presentation includes a scale of sizes of various items, ranging from atoms to the observable universe. Different types of microscopes are able to view objects at various sizes.

Different Types of Microscopes and Microscopy

  • The information depicts different types of microscopes, such as bright field, dark field, phase contrast, fluorescence, and electron microscopes.

Light Microscopy

  • Different types of light microscopes include: bright field, dark field, and phase contrast.
  • Features of light microscopes are also discussed including the use of visible light, how various features affect the outcome of the image, and how they differ, from each other.

Electron Microscopy

  • Electron microscopes use electrons instead of light to view extremely small objects that are not visible to light microscopes.
  • Techniques and resolutions are also discussed.
  • Two main types of Electron Microscopes (TEM and SEM) are covered along with their differences.
