Invention Of The Microscope!!
In about 1595, Zacharias Janssen built the first microscope. -
Discovered Pores And Cells
English physicist, Robert Hooke looked at a sliver of cork through a microscope lens and noticed some "pores" or "cells" in it. -
Examining Blood, Yeast and Insects with the "One Lens Microscope"
Anton van Leeuwenhoek built a simple microscope with only one lens to examine blood, yeast, insects and many other tiny objects. -
Leeuwenhoek was the first person to describe bacteria
Leeuwenhoek was the first person to describe bacteria, and he invented new methods for grinding and polishing microscope lenses that allowed for curvatures providing magnifications of up to 270 diameters, the best available lenses at that time. -
"Improving Microscopes"
Microscopes became popular among scientists. Lenses combining two types of glass reduced the "chromatic effect". -
Ernst Abbe made maximum resolutions in microscopes possible
In 1830 Ernst Abbe wrote out a mathematical formula. His formula provided calculations that allowed for the maximum resolution in microscopes possible. -
Rfichard Zsgmondy developed the Ultra Microscope!!
Richard Zsigmondy developed the ultramicroscope that could study objects below the wavelength of light. He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1925. -
Frits Zernike invented the phase-contrast microscope!!
Frits Zernike invented the phase-contrast microscope that allowed for the study of colorless and transparent biological materials for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1953. -
Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer invented the scanning tunneling microscope!!
Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer invented the scanning tunneling microscope that gives three-dimensional images of objects down to the atomic level. Binnig and Rohrer won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. The powerful scanning tunneling microscope is the strongest microscope to date.
