In what year did Anton van Leeuwenhoek make his discovery?1676
Van Leeuwenhoek called the creatures he discovered...animalcules
An example of a simple microscope is a ...magnifying glass
What instrument magnifies images?a microscope
Optical microscopes...use light to produce magnified images.
a lensa curved piece of glass that bends the light
An example of non-glass lenses are...an eye, a drop of water
Compound light microscopehas more than one lens
ocular lensis the lens closest to the eye
objective lensis the lens closest to the object
To find the total magnification of an object..multiply the ocular lens times the objective lense.
The maximum magnification for a compound light microscope is ..1000 times
SEM/TEMs can magnify up to..one million times
An electron microscope uses....electrons and magnets to magnify images.
An SEM beams electrons at an image and...the electrons are reflected back, producing a 3 dimensional image.
A TEM beams electrons at an image and...the image is displayed on a TV screen.
A disadvantage for SEM/TEM is that..the object must be sliced very thin and placed in a vacuum.
Xraysradiation that passes through soft material, but cannot pass through dense material.
An MRI can help us to study the body....without injuring any living tissue.
What can show up to 720 cross sections of an object?A CT scan which then has the computer analyzes.
