THE HISTORY Many people experimented with
making microscopes
Was the microscope originally made by accident? (Most people were creating telescopes)
The first microscope was 6 feet long!!!
The Greeks & Romans used “lenses” to magnify objects over 1000 years ago.

THE HISTORYHans and Zacharias Janssen of
Holland in the 1590’s created the “first” compound microscope
Anthony van Leeuwenhoek and Robert Hooke made improvements by working on the lenses

ANTIONI VAN LEEUWENHOEK
• Leeuwenhoek is called "the inventor of the microscope"
• Created a “simple” microscope that could magnify to about 275x, and published drawings of microorganisms in 1683
• Could reach magnifications of over 200x with simple ground lenses

DHOW A MICROSCOPE
WORKS WITH..Ocular Lens(Magnifies Image)
Objective Lens(Gathers Light, Magnifies And Focuses Image Inside Body Tube)Body Tube
(Image Focuses)
•Bending Light: The objective (bottom) convex lens magnifies and focuses (bends) the image inside the body tube and the ocular convex (top) lens of a microscope magnifies it (again).

INTRODUCTIONA microscope is an optical instrument
that uses a lens or a combination of lenses to magnify and resolve the fine details of an object.
The magnified image seen by looking through a lens is known as a virtual image, whereas an image viewed directly is known as a real image.
The object to be magnified is placed under the lower lens, called the objective and viewed through the upper lens, called the eyepiece.

D DEFINITIONS
Absorption When light passes through an object the intensity is reduced
depending upon the color absorbed. Thus the selective absorption of white light produces colored light.
Refraction Direction change of a ray of light passing from one transparent
medium to another with different optical density. A ray from less to more dense medium is bent perpendicular to the surface, with greater deviation for shorter wavelengths
Diffraction Light rays bend around edges - new wavefronts are generated
at sharp edges - the smaller the aperture the lower the definition
Dispersion Separation of light into its constituent wavelengths when
entering a transparent medium - the change of refractive index with wavelength, such as the spectrum produced by a prism or a rainbow

LENSES AND THE BENDING OF LIGHT
light is refracted (bent) when passing from one medium to another
refractive indexa measure of how greatly a substance
slows the velocity of lightdirection and magnitude of bending
is determined by the refractive indexes of the two media forming the interface

specific place called the focal point

THE COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
The Optical SystemObjective Lens: the lens closest to the
specimen; usually several objectives are mounted on a revolving nosepiece.Parafocal: when the microscope is focused with one objective in place, another objective can be rotated into place and the specimen remains very nearly in correct focus.
Eyepiece or Ocular Lens: the lens closest to the eye.Monocular: a microscope having only one eyepiece
Binocular: a microscope having two eyepieces.

SOME PRINCIPLES 04
/11
/20
23
Rule of thumb is is not to exceed 1,000 times the NA of the objective
Modern microscopes magnify both in the objective and the ocular and thus are called “compound microscopes” - Simple microscopes have only a single lens

of a stereoscopic microscope. This microscope is actually two separate monocular microscopes, each with its own set of lenses except for the lowest objective lens, which is common to both microscopes.

31The principle of the compound microscope. The passage of light through two lenses forms the virtual image of the object seen by the eye.

MAGNIFICATION An object can be focused generally no
closer than 250 mm from the eye (depending upon how old you are!)
this is considered to be the normal viewing distance for 1x magnification
Young people may be able to focus as close as 125 mm so they can magnify as much as 2x because the image covers a larger part of the retina - that is it is “magnified” at the place where the image is formed

MAGNIFICATION To determine your magnification…you just
multiply the ocular lens by the objective lens Ocular 10x Objective 40x:10 x 40 = 400
Objective Lens have their magnificationwritten on them.
Ocular lenses usually magnifies by 10x
So the object is 400 times “larger”

= 28
The projected image is 28 times larger than we would see it at 250 mm from our eyes.
If we used a 10x magnifier we would have a magnification of 280x, but we would reduce the field of view by a factor of 10x.
There used to be things called “slide Projectors”

The main advantage of infinity corrected lens systems is the relative insensitivity to additional optics within the tube length. Secondly one can focus by moving the objective and not the specimen (stage)

OBJECTIVES 04

/20
23
Limit for smallest resolvable distance d between 2 points is (Rayleigh criterion):
d = 1.22
Thus high NUMERICAL APERTURE is critical for high magnification
In a medium of refractive index n the wavelength gets shorter:n
This defines a “resel” or “resolution element”
38
Dr.T.V.R
ao M
D
NUMERICAL APERTURE Resolving power is directly related to numerical
aperture. The higher the NA the greater the resolution Resolving power:
The ability of an objective to resolve two distinct lines very close together
NA = n sin u
(n=the lowest refractive index between the object and first objective element) (hopefully 1)
u is 1/2 the angular aperture of the objective

Make sure it’s on a flat surface
Don’t bang it
