The Cell Theory Arose
The first ideas on cell theory arose by Schleiden and Schwarn. Before this no one knew anything about it. -
Cell Movement
The first observation of cell movement in living organisms recorded were by Metchnikoff. -
Electron Microscope
The Electron microscope was created by Ernst Ruska. It uses a beam of highly energetic electrons to examine fine objects on a large scale. -
Phase Contrast Microscope
The Phase contrast microscope was invented by Zernike. It is used to examine biological tissues. -
Scanning Electron Microscope
Max Knoll managed to obtain the first image from a Scanning Electron Microscope. The Scanning Electron Microscope is a type of Electron Microscope that images the sampled surface by scanning it with a high- energy beam of electrons in a raster scan pattern -
Confocal Scanning Microscope
The Confocal scanning microscope was invented by Marvin Minsky. It is used for obtaining high-resolution optical images. -
Optical Microscope
The Optical microscope is the simplest of all microscopes and is the most used. It uses light and a system of lenses of magnify images of small samples. -
Compound Optical Microscope
The Compound optical microscope is different to optical microscope because it uses a different eyepiece to create different volumes of magnification. -
Period: to
about the change in the microscope
the difference between the microscopes then and now has change very drastically with the focus and resolution taking better form and microscopes have now evolved so that computers can now look through a microscope
