Document Summary

Instructors: graham bell, anna hargreave, melania cristescu, & andrew hendry. Powerpoint presentation: prokaryotes, bacteria and archaea (slides 1 to 31) Humans lives around the 1 meter scale limited to their vision) About of all the kinds of things in the world are invisible. Many of the rest are indivisible; their parts cannot be discerned. Shadow world > 1 cm > 10-100 um. An object of length l at a distance d from the eye subtends an angle at the retina. The resolution of the adult human eye is about = 1 arc-minute. The closest that the eye can focus is about 10 cm. The smallest object we can see is thus l min = 2 d tan /2) = 30 um. The limit of our vision transcended: the power of the convex lens. First published image of a microorganism by hooke 50x) The invisible world and its very real consequences.
