 INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION

The Microscope and Its Historical Development

The microscope is a
or organisms or parts of organisms that are invisible or only slightly visible to the naked eyes.
The discovery of lenses sta
through and testing the different shapes of glasses, were able to discover a clear glass that was thick in the middle and thin edges.
They discovered that if you look through an object using this glass, the object would look larger. They called this clear glass lens,
derived from the Latin term lentil because it resembled the shape of a lentil bean.

In 1590, two Dutch eyeglass makers named Zacharias Janssen and his brother Hans
Janssen started experimenting using lenses. They got a tube and put lenses on each end and
started observing objects. The Janssen’s were amazed that the object they observed was greatly
enlarged, much larger than a magnifying glass can enlarge. The Janssen brothers made a very
important discovery, a compound microscope. Compound because it uses two or more lenses.

Anton Van Leeuwenheok (1632-1723) during his time was

able to make a simple microscope, and he made a several biological
breakthroughs using it. Although Leeuwenheok’s microscope is
composed only a single lens, its magnification is so powerful that it
can enlarge objects 270 times. He was the 1 st to observe bacteria,
yeasts, red blood cells, and he described colonies or protozoans
teeming in a drop of rainwater which he called animalcules. These
breakthroughs earned him the title “Father of Microscopy”.

 Robert Hooke, an Englishman, also spent much of his life working with microscopes
improving their design and capabilities. Hooke, using his improved compound microscope,
discovered tiny compartments in a thin slice cork. He called these compartments cells.

Parts and Function of a

Compound Light Microscope
(CLM)

There are two

types of
simple and the
microscopes: the
compound microscopes. Simple
microscopes are composed of one lens
and provide relatively low magnifying power (5x). A magnifying glass is a good example of a simple
microscope. Compound microscopes are composed of two or more lenses that provide powerful magnification.

The parts of a CLM are categorized into three: illuminating parts, magnifying parts, and
mechanical parts.

The Illuminating parts are the parts that provide light. Light is important for the object/specimen to
be seen. The light may come from two sources; natural source, reflected sunlight and artificial source, light
bulb.
 Mirror – reflects the light from the source to the specimen
 Diaphragm – regulates the amount of light striking the specimen
 Ocular/Eyepiece – focuses light to the eye; where the observer peeps through.
 Objectives – gather light

The Magnifying parts are the parts that enlarge the object or specimen.
 Ocular lens – enlarges the object six times (6x) or ten times (10x)
 Objective lenses – aside from gathering light, they magnify the image. Most often, a CLM has three
objectives:

Learning Plan_Enhanced Science 7_ Q1W2 Page 6

Prepared by: Miss Bernadette Macaguiwa
  Low Power Objective (LPO) that locates and enlarges the specimen 10x
 High Power Objective (HPO) that enlarges the specimen 40x, 43x, or 45x
 Oil Immersion Objectives (OIP) that enlarges the object 100x

The Mechanical parts are the parts of the microscope that support, adjust, connect, and move other
parts.
 Base – supports the entire weight of the microscope
 Arm – supports the body tube and the part that is held when the microscope is carried from one place to another.
 Body tube – connects the lenses of the objectives and the ocular
 Stage – holds the slide
 Stage clips – hold the slide firmly in place
 Adjustment screws – move the objectives to bring the specimen into focus
 Course adjustment screw – the large knob that moves the body tube faster to focus the specimen.
 Fine adjustment screw- the smaller knob that is used to get a sharp focus of the specimen being viewed.
 Revolving nosepiece – a rotating disc that holds the different objectives and allows for the shifting from one objective to
the next.
