    The document summarizes the history and components of the microscope. It explains that while lenses were used over 1000 years ago to magnify objects, the first compound microscope was created in the 1590s by Hans and Zacharias Janssen in Holland. It then describes key microscope innovators like Antony van Leeuwenhoek and Robert Hooke. The rest of the document outlines the basic parts of a microscope like the objective lens, ocular lens, stage, light source, and how magnification is calculated. It provides diagrams to illustrate how microscopes work and guidelines for proper microscope use and care.

    The Microscope

    Mr. Ryan
    6th Grade

    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    Was the microscope originally made by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 History
    Hans and Zacharias Janssen of Holland
    in the 1590s created the first
    compound microscope
    Anthony van Leeuwenhoek and Robert
    Hooke made improvements by working
    on the lenses

    Anthony van Leeuwenhoek


    1632-1723

    Hooke Microscope

    Robert Hooke
    1635-1703

    The History

    Zacharias Jansen
    1588-1631

    The First Microscope

    How a Microscope Works


    Convex Lenses are
    curved glass used to
    make microscopes
    (and glasses etc.)

    Convex Lenses bend


    light and focus it in
    one spot.

    How a Microscope Works


    Ocular Lens
    (Magnifies Image)

    Body Tube
    (Image Focuses)

    Objective Lens
    (Gathers Light,
    Magnifies
    And Focuses Image
    Inside Body Tube)

    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).

    The Parts of a Microscope

    Ocular Lens
    Body Tube

    Nose Piece
    Arm
    Objective
    Lenses
    Stage
    Clips
    Diaphragm

    Stage
    Coarse Adj.
    Fine Adjustment

    Light Source
    Base

    Skip to Magnification Section

    Body Tube
    The body tube holds the objective
    lenses and the ocular lens at the proper
    distance

    Diagram

    Nose Piece
    The Nose Piece holds the objective
    lenses and can be turned to increase
    the magnification

    Diagram

    Objective Lenses
    The Objective Lenses increase
    magnification (usually from 10x to 40x)

    Diagram

    Stage Clips
    These 2 clips hold the slide/specimen in
    place on the stage.

    Diagram

    Diaphragm
    The Diaphragm controls the amount of
    light on the slide/specimen

    Turn to let more light in or to


    make dimmer.
    Diagram

    Light Source
    Projects light upwards through the
    diaphragm, the specimen and the
    lenses
    Some have lights, others have mirrors
    where you must move the mirror to
    reflect light

    Diagram

    Ocular Lens/Eyepiece
    Magnifies the specimen image

    Diagram

    Arm
    Used to support the microscope when
    carried. Holds the body tube, nose
    piece and objective lenses

    Diagram

    Stage
    Supports the slide/specimen

    Diagram

    Coarse Adjustment Knob


    Moves the stage up and down (quickly)
    for focusing your image

    Diagram

    Fine Adjustment Knob


    This knob moves the stage SLIGHTLY
    to sharpen the image

    Diagram

    Base
    Supports the microscope

    Diagram

    Magnification

    Magnification
    To determine your magnificationyou
    just multiply the ocular lens by the
    objective lens
    Ocular 10x Objective 40x:10 x 40 =
    So the object is 400 times larger
    400
    Objective Lens have
    their magnification
    written on them.

    Ocular lenses usually magnifies by 10x

    Caring for a Microscope


    Clean only with a soft cloth/tissue
    Make sure its on a flat surface
    Dont bang it
    Carry it with 2 HANDSone on the arm
    and the other on the base

    Carry a Microscope Correctly

    Using a Microscope

    Move the stage to the lowest magnification


    Place the object on the stage
    Select the objective lens to lowest
    Look through and turn coarse adjustment
    knob
    Turn fine adjustment knob till your object is in
    focu
    Repeat steps 1 to 6
