Document Summary

Section 2 objectives imaging in cell biology. First to observe living protozoa and bacteria which he called animalcules . Went on to visualize human red blood cells and sperm. With great skill at grinding lenses, naturally acute eyesight and lost of patience he was able to achieve a magnification of 200x. Compound microscope = multiple lenses: opposed to simple microscope (one lens) Objective lens to collect light after it has passed through specimen. Ocular or eyepiece lens to focus image onto eye. Typical light microscope magnification is 40 to 1000x: magnification of objective lens x ocular lens. Only structures with a high refractive index (ability to bend light) are observable. Resolution: the ability to distinguish between two very closely positioned objects as separate entities: the minimum distance at which two points are resolved (d) a conventional microscope can never resolve objects/cellular features that are less than.
