Al Nahda National School For Girls Biology Department: Microscope

This document provides information about different types of microscopes: 1. Light microscopes use light and lenses to magnify images up to 1000 times their original size and can be used to view living or non-living things. Compound light microscopes use more than one lens. 2. Electron microscopes use magnetic fields to focus electron beams and can provide higher magnifications than light microscopes, but living things cannot be viewed as samples must be thin slices. Transmission electron microscopes study cell structures while scanning electron microscopes study surfaces. 3. The document includes questions about microscope parts, types, magnifications, and inventors like Anton van Leeuwenhoek and Robert Hooke who made early

Name: …………………………………………… Grade/Section: 7 American
Teacher: Alaa Awad No. Of Pages:4
Lead Teacher: Alia Mousa

Q1: Fill in the blank with the correct terms:


A. The Development of Microscopes
1. The invention of microscope enabled people to see details of living
things that cannot be seen with the unaided eye.
2. Two inventors of early microscopes were Anton van Leeuwenhoek and
Robert hooke

3. Before microscopes, people did not know that living things are made
of cells.

B. Types of Microscopes
1. One characteristic of all microscopes is that they magnify
images. Magnification makes an image appear larger than it
really is.
2. Another characteristic of microscopes is resolution —how clearly
the magnified image can be seen.
3. light microscopes use light and lenses to enlarge an image of
an object.
a. A light microscope that uses more than one lens to magnify an image is called
a(n) compound microscope.

b. Light microscopes can be used to view living or nonliving things.


c. Light microscopes can enlarge images up to 1000 times
their original size.
4. Electron microscopes use a magnetic field to focus a beam of
electrons through an object or onto an object’s surface.
a. Because objects must be mounted in plastic and then sliced very thin, only
non living organisms can be viewed with an electron
microscope.

1
b. Transmission electron microscope microscopes usually are used to study extremely
small things, such as the structures inside a cell.
c. Scanning electron microscope microscopes usually are used to study the surface of
an object.

Q2: Circle the term in parentheses that correctly completes each sentence.
1. All microscopes (magnify /photograph) images.
2. How clearly an image can be seen depends on a microscope’s (magnification/resolution).

3. Using a microscope, (Hooke/Leeuwenhoek) observed and named cells.

Q3:Write the name of the microscope that goes with each clue on the line provided. Each
type of microscope will be used more than once. Some lines will be filled in with more than
one type of microscope.
