eli microscope time line

The first vision aid

Jan 1, 1000

a glass sphere that magnifies objectes

first eye glasses

Jan 1, 1284

Salvino D'Armate is the creator of the first wearable eye glasses

telescope

Jan 1, 1590

a couple of guys put a couple lense in a tube and then a cap and they made a telescope.

first microscope

Jan 1, 1665

this would be the first microscope

cells found

Jan 1, 1665

this was when they first could see cells and poors . they could see thiswith a microscope

cleaning lens

Jan 1, 1674

they figured out how to clean the lense on the microscopes so then they can see clearer and then they can see more things

Technical innovations improved

Jan 1, 1700

Lenses combining two types of glass reduced the "chromatic effect" the disturbing halos resulting from differences in refraction of light.

chromatic effect

Jan 1, 1830

the glass makes other objects bigger , it would make an object that you want to see that is small

ultramicroscope

Jan 1, 1902

study objects below the wavelength of light this invention got a Nobel Prize

electron microscope

Jan 1, 1931

An electron microscope depends on electrons rather than light to view an object, electrons are speeded up in a vacuum

phase-contrast microscope

Jan 1, 1932

for the study of colorless and transparent biological materials so they could study new objects

scanning tunneling microscope

Jan 1, 1981

gives three-dimensional images of objects down to the atomic level
