Microscope

a hollow tube with a lens at the top and bottom

an optical instrument that uses lens to bend visible light in order to produce a magnified image of a very small object with enhanced contrast and resolution

2
New cards

Janssen’s Microscope

Zacharias Janssen, 1585, earliest compound microscope, 20x-30x

improved by Hooke, coined the term “cell”

3
New cards

Leeuwenhoek Microscope

1974, Dutch scientist, a draper who taught himself microscopy to inspect fabrics, simple microscope, 200x, living cells “animalcules in pond water, discovery of bacteria, blood cells, and other microorganism

How magnification works?

the larger an object is the greater the angle at which light rays enters the eye and subtends on the retina gets larger

similarly an object brought closer to the eye appears larger because the angle at which the light rays enters the eye and subtends on the retina gets larger

5
New cards

Microscope lens

the lens of a microscope increases the angle at which the light rays from the object enters the eyes

6
New cards

Types of microscopes

simple microscope

compound microscope (Polarized light microscope, comparison microscope)

stereo microscope

7
New cards

Simple microscope

a magnifying glass made from a single convex lens that magnifies 5-10x

one level of magnification

produces virtual image

8
New cards

Compound Microscope

2 lens system that produce 2 levels of magnification, an objective lens above the sample projects a magnified image of the sample into the body tube (intermediate image plane), an ocular lens (eyepiece) near the eye further magnifies the image projected by the objective

higher magnification 40x-1000x, higher resolution

9
New cards

types of Compound Microscopes

polarized microscopes, comparison microscopes, phase contrast microscopes, fluorescence microscopes

10
New cards

Polarized Light Microscope

a special type of high power compound microscope, contains 2 polarizers- a circular rotating stage- and slots for compensators, most useful and versatile, can examine physical characteristics and optical properties, indentification of the item

11
New cards

Comparison Microscope

2 high power compound microscopes joined together with an optical bridge, allows simultaneous viewing of the left and right microscopes, used to compare microscopic items (Q and K) side by side in a circular field that is equally divided into two parts

12
New cards

PLM and Comparison microscopes

requires some sample preparation or mounting in oils, not the RI of the medium

13
New cards

Stereo Microscopes

consists of 2 separate, low power, monocular compound microscopes (one for each eye) w/ in 1 housing

each objective lens is offset by 15 degrees and produces a different image of the object, therefore each eye simultaneously sees the sample from a different perspective (separate image) 

the 2 different images are combined to produces a stereoscopic, 3D image (similar to our eyes)

used for screening and sorting, gross class characteristics, preliminary identification (classification) and physical matching examination

provides a greater field of view and greater working distance and greater depth of field

14
New cards

Types of stereo microscopes

Greenough- 2 identical and symmetrical optical systems, contains separate eyepiece and objective in a single housing, lower price

Common Main Objectives- single large objective that is shared between a pair of ocular tubes and lens system, enables longer working distance and continuous zoom system, modern design, most common type

Microscopes V.S. High Power Compound Microscopes

Stereo microscopes have two (2) identical path offset from one
another to mimic the natural offset of the two eyes; produce a 3D
image
– Usually used first for examining evidence
– Use for screening, viewing and locating samples
– No sample preparation
– Provides an upright, unversed, 3D image
– Greater field of view, working distance and depth of field
– True colors with Rx light

High Power Compound Microscopes have one (1) optical path that
is split at the oculars to give the same left and right images
– Produces a 2D image
– Reversed image
– Higher magnification and resolution
