-
~1600 the microscope is invented by Robert Hooke.
-
-
His book about the findings he's made with the aid of the microscope. Cells and bacteria are among his discoveries.
-
These new lenses preceded the invention of Achromatic lenses for the microscope, which would bring new power to scientists everywhere,
-
New achromatic lenses introduce new resolution and power to the microscope world, allowing better discoveries to be made.
-
While humans have aknowleged cells for a century, the formal cell theory has finally been proposed by Theodor Schwann and Matthias Schleiden. This theory finally adresses that cells are the basic unit of life.
-
Ernst Abbe's work on the microscope clearly outlines how to position lenses for the optimal resolution and zooming power, as before this all setups had been trial and error.
-
Mitosis is finally found in cells when they split to form two new cells which continue to split into two, as they reproduce to form more. This is a vital discovery contributing to cell theory.
-
August Weismann publishes a book on heredity, and greatly influences biologists all around the world. The development of the microscope has helped to make these breakthroughs.
-
Powell and Lealand company manufactures high-powered objective lenses for new microscopes.
-
De Vries publishes a new book on mutations and how different cells and DNA can change a creature's attributes and traits. Bringing more knowlege of cells aids this movement.
-
The fist commercial UV microscope is invented by the Zeiss company and has twice the resolution of a visible light microscope.
-
Fritz Zernike is the first to discover that you can view unstained cells by using the phased angle of rays. Unstained cells are more difficult to see considering they aren't colored.
-
Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska create the very first electron microscope which uses electrons instead of light to 'see' making it more powerful.
-
Zernike coins the phrase, 'contrast microscope,' referring to a technique where changes in brightness allow us to see things we couldn't before.
-
Siemens company provides the first commercially-available electron microscopes, allowing more discoveries to be made since they're in the hands of more scientists.
-
This technology built for the electron microscope can slice cells into section for extreme zoom levels.
-
This microscope made by Erwin Wilhelm Müller is the first microscope that can see atoms, and helps people everywhere to further understand the forms of matter.
-
This new microscope works by measuring the length of currents.
-
This new micrscope measures the force of an object rather than current lenghts.
-
A compound optical microscope is different to the optical microscope because it uses different eye pieces to create different volumes of magnification.
