Microscopes and spontaneous generation

I hate science

Redi

Disproved spontaneous generation by sealing meat and showing that maggots grow

Hooke

First found out about cells when looking at the cells of a cork. Described them as prison cells and named them after that

Pastuer

Completely disproved spontaneous generation by using broth in swan shaped flask. Flies got stuck in swan flask which disproved it.,

Aristotle

Made the theory of spontaneous generation, believing that living things came from nonliving things

Needham

Tried to prove it by boiling unsealed flasks and showing that microorganisms spawned

Spallanzani

Disproved needham by adding seals. No microorganisms grew

Schleiden

Discovered plant cells

Shwann

Discovered animal cells like plant cells

Leewenhook

First living cells-animalcules

Light microscope

Uses lens and light, is simple but inefficient

Simple microscope

One lens. Like a magnifying glass

Fluorescent

Uses fluorescents on the specimen, uv rays illuminate it under microscope but it can damage it

Confocal beam

Scans it using a beam. Greater for large specimens but can damage if

Transmission electron

Scans w electrons to make 2d image of inside the cell, cant be on moving cells

Scanning electron

Makes a 3d image of surface, a bit inefficient tho.

Compound

Multi-lensed microscopes

Electron microscope

Uses electrons to scan specimen
