Abubakar-R.-MICROSCOPE USED TO SEE TINY BACTERIA

ABOUT MICROSCOPE

1. “Microscope” By: Abubakar, Rosmhaira N. BSN 1A

2. “ what is Microscope?” A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Microscopy is the science of investigating small objects and structures using a microscope. Microscopic means being invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope.

3. “TYPES OF MICROSCOPE?” Compound light microscope Stereo microscope Pocket Microscope Digital Microscope

4. “COMPOUND LIGHT MICROSCOPE” Commonly binocular (two eyepieces), the compound light microscope, combines the power of lenses and light to enlarge the subject being viewed.Typically, the eyepiece itself allows for 10X or 15X magnification and when combined with the three or four objective lenses, which can be rotated into the field of view, produce higher magnification to a maximum of around 1000X generally.The compound light microscope is popular among botanists for studying plant cells, in biology to view bacteria and parasites as well as a variety of human/animal cells.

5. “ Stereo microscope” The Stereo microscope, also called a dissecting microscope, has two optical paths at slightly different angles allowing the image to be viewed three-dimensionally under the lenses.Stereo microscopes magnify at low power, typically between 10X and 200X, generally below 100x.With this type of microscope you generally have the choice of purchasing the fixed or zoom variety from a manufacturer and are relatively inexpensive.Uses for this type of microscope include looking at surfaces, microsurgery, and watch making, plus building and inspecting circuit boards.Stereo microscopes allow students to observe plant photosynthesis in action.

6. “DIGItal microscope” Step into the 21st century with a digital microscope and enter a world of amazing detail.The digital microscope, invented in Japan in 1986, uses the power of the computer to view objects not visible to the naked eye.Among the different types of microscopes, this kind can be found with or without eyepieces to peer into. It connects to a computer monitor via a USB cable, much like connecting a printer or mouse. The computer software allows the monitor to display the magnified specimen. Moving images can be recorded or single images captured in the computer’s memory.An advantage of digital microscopes is the ability to email images, as well as comfortably watch moving images for long periods.The popularity of the digital microscope has increased at schools and among hobbyists.

7. “Pocket microscope” It is small, durable and portable with a magnification ranging from 25x to 100x. There are many different models available. In examining the different types of microscopes available on the market, the pocket microscope may be tiny but its abilities are impressive.This is a device which is a great gift for a child or your student. It is used by scientists for hand-held imaging of a variety of specimens/objects in the field or in the laboratory.

8. “What are the uses of microscope?” They are used in different fields for different purposes. Some of their uses are tissue analysis, the examination of forensic evidence, to determine the health of the ecosystem, studying the role of protein within the cell, and the study of atomic structure. A cell is the smallest unit of life. Most cells are so small that they cannot be viewed with the naked eye. Therefore, scientists must use microscopes to study cells. Electron microscopes provide higher magnification, higher resolution, and more detail than light microscopes.

9. “Importance of microscope” Microscopes help the scientists to study the microorganisms, the cells, the crystalline structures, and the molecular structures, They are one of the most important diagnostic tools when the doctors examine the tissue samples. Every major field of science has benefited from the use of some form of microscope, an invention that dates back to the late 16th century and a modest Dutch eyeglass maker named Zacharias Janssen.
