DISCOVERY OF CELLS, MICROSCOPES AND
PARTS OF CELLS/FUNCTIONS
The Discovery of Cells
 Before the microscope, scientists were not able to
view cells. They thought that diseases were caused
by spirits but in reality they were caused by bacteria
& viruses.
 The cell is the basic unit of structure and function
of all living things.
 Cells help to carry out life processes.
Microscopes and the History of the Cell Theory
 In the 1500’s eyeglass
makers are working on
lenses.
 1600s Janssen - Made
the first microscope
lens. Magnification
10X- like a basic
“magnifying lens”. This
was the 1st compound
microscope.
Microscopes and the History of the Cell Theory
 First microscope was used by Anton van
Leewenhoek. Called a simple light
microscope.
 1665- Anton van Leeuwenhoek studied pond
water. Observed “animalcules” or single celled
organisms.
Microscopes and the History of the Cell Theory
 Hooke - used the
microscope to view
cork. Called the little
boxes “cells” which
means little “rooms” in
Latin. Reminded him
of the rooms monks
lived in-“cellules”. He
used an early
compound light
microscope.
Microscopes and the History of the Cell Theory
 Compound light
microscope was invented.
 Uses light AND lenses
which helped with
magnifying things in steps.
 Was able to magnify up to
1500X. We use objectives
that magnify only up to 400
X . (Scanning, low, high
powers are what we will
use.) OIL- 1000x (we will
not use this)
Microscopes and the History of the Cell Theory
 1830s- Schleiden observed plants and said that
they were made up of tiny units (wet grass)plants are made up of cells.
 Schwann - (“swan”) observed animal tissue and
stated that cells were the building blocks of
animals in addition to plants.
Microscopes and the History of the Cell Theory
 Virchow - stated that
cells are produced by
other living cells.
 Identified the nucleus
and said that it was
responsible for cell
division.
The Cell Theory
 All living things are composed of one or more cells.
Ex. Amoeba = 1 cell= unicellular and eukaryotic
(eukaryotic means it has a nucleus)
Ex. Humans= multicellular
The Cell Theory
 *The cell is the basic unit of structure and
organization/function of organisms.
 All cells have different functions!
Ex. Cellstissuesorgansorgan systemsorganism
The Cell Theory
 All cells come from preexisting cells.
Ex. Cut skin heals quickly because skin cells divide.
Electron Microscopes – 1930s/1940s
 Resolution - How clear
an image is.
 Electrons are used to
illuminate an object
rather than light;
Magnify up to 106 (which is 1
million)
 Electron microscope
Transmission Electron Microscopes
 Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) electrons sent through a thin slice of a specimen.
 Shows a cross section.
 2-Dimensional.
 NO LIVING SPECIMENS
Scanning Electron Microscopes
 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) bounces electrons off the surface of a specimen.
 SOMETIMES LIVING,
 GIVES 3-Dimensional APPREARANCE
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
 1) prokaryotes are simple
cells with no defined
nucleus. Ex: bacteria
- They DO have genetic
material it just isn’t
contained in one area.
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
 2) Eukaryotes are complex cells with a defined
nucleus. Ex: animal and plant cells
 Animal Cells:DO NOT have cell walls
 Plant Cells: Do have cell walls

Microscope parts quiz
 In three school days there will be a quiz
that looks identical to the fill in the blank
image worth 18 points.
 1 pt for correct part and 1 pt for correct
magnifications.
 Spelling does count (-1/2 pt for wrong
spelling)
What the parts do!
 Eyepiece: Contains a magnifying lens with a
magnification of 10x
 Arm: Supports the body tube
 Stage: Supports the slide being observed
 Fine Adjustment: Moves the body tube slightly to
adjust the image (can be used with all lenses)
What the parts do!
 Coarse Adjustment: Moves the body tube to focus
the image in LARGE movements (only to be used
with scanning objective and low power).
 Base: Supports the microscope
 Diaphragm: Regulates the amount of light passing
up toward the eyepiece.
 Stage clips: Holds the slide in place
What the parts do!
 High power objective: Provides a magnification of
40x
 Low power objective: Provides a magnification of
10x
 Scanning power objective: provides a
magnification of 4x
What the parts do!
 Nosepiece: Holds the objectives and can be
rotated to change the magnification.
 Body Tube: Maintains the proper distance
between the eyepiece and the objectives
Determining TOTAL magnification
 Eyepiece x Objective = Total Magnification
Try finding the total magnification for all three
objectives in our microscopes.
Rules! Rules! Rules!
You break the microscope you BUY the microscope…
so rather than having to shell out hundreds to
thousands of dollars to replace it follow the rules.
Take a couple of minutes and READ the rules.

Path of a protein
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Amino acids are linked together to form proteins on
ribosomes (on the RER).
Protein travels along the RER then it buds off in a
vesicle.
Vesicle goes to golgi apparatus.
Protein gets modified for what it is going to be used for
in the cell.
The modified protein is shipped from the golgi
apparatus in a vesicle.
The vesicle either leaves the cell or is used within the
cell.
