Study Notes
Simple Microscopes
- Leeuwenhoek's simple microscopes had only one lens
- These microscopes magnified images from 100 to 300 times
- Leeuwenhoek was the first person to see bacteria using simple microscopes
Compound Light (CL) Microscopy
- Joseph Jackson Lister developed the improved compound light microscope in the 1830s
- Compound light microscopes have multiple lenses, including objective and ocular lenses
- The light source is an illuminator that passes through condenser lenses to direct light onto the specimen
- Immersion oil prevents light loss from refraction by having the same refractive index as the glass slide
Contrast Power
- Contrast power refers to the ability to distinguish between two adjacent points based on their light intensity
Fluorescence Microscopy
- Fluorescence microscopy utilizes the property of fluorescence, where substances absorb short wavelengths of light (ultraviolet) and emit longer wavelengths (visible)
Limitations of Light Microscopy
- Maximum magnification for light microscopy is 2000x
- Resolving power is limited to 0.2 micrometers
- Light microscopes cannot be used to view viruses or most internal cell structures due to limitations in magnification and resolving power
