Questions & Answers
Question : Science question about microscopes?
Are electron microscopes and electron transmission microscopes different or are they the same thing?Thanks.
Answer:
There are two major types of electron microscope (and a few others).Transmission electron microscopes pass an elecron bean through a sample.Scanning electron microscopes bouce a beam (more accurately a small fraction of the beam) off the surface of the sample

Question : help! to all the science people who know about microscopes! ?
When was the microscope invented? A. Toward the end of the enlightenment period.B. Toward the end of the renaissance.C. Toward the beginning of the enlightenment period.D. Toward the beginning of the renaissance.
Answer:
The earliest notable use of the microscope was by the 18th century Dutch scientist Anton (or Antonie) van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723). The Age Of Enlightenment And Scientific TemperThis new age saw many inventions and discoveries and among them was the microscope, which was invented in 1590 by a father and son duo from Netherlands, Johannes and Zacharias Jansen. These optical microscopes were made of a pair of lens held in a small metal tube. These microscopes do not match up to the modern microscopes, but even then, they were of immense help in learning about plants and animals.I would say the answer is and B. I believe the enlighten period was from 1651-1794http://www.historyteacher.net/EuroProjects/DBQ1998-1999/DBQTimeLine%207-99.htmThe Renaissance period was from 1350 - 1600Oops.. it is also listed as an invention of the renaissance period. http://www.mce.k12tn.net/renaissance/inventions.htmDuring that historic period known as the Renaissance, after the "dark" Middle Ages, there occurred the inventions of printing, gunpowder and the mariner's compass, followed by the discovery of America. Equally remarkable was the invention of the light microscope: an instrument that enables the human eye, by means of a lens or combinations of lenses, to observe enlarged images of tiny objects. It made visible the fascinating details of worlds within worlds.

Question : what science fair project can i do involving microscopes and microorganisms?
It needs to be a a 7-9 grade level. I have 2 microscopes at home.. and one can let me take pictures of the specimen. i just need an experiment i can do involving the two. Thanks.
Answer:
Find out how long it takes still water to grow microorganisms.Or find out how fast it takes to double the number of microorganisms.Or find out if microorganism can be found in liquor, soda, milk. Which one gets microorganisms the fastest and how fast do they multiply.

Question : How have microscopes affected science over the years?
How has Leeuwenhoeks magnifying glass improved over the years to help biology
Answer:
The father of microscopy, Anton van Leeuwenhoek of Holland, started as an apprentice in a dry goods store where magnifying glasses were used to count the threads in cloth. He taught himself new methods for grinding and polishing tiny lenses of great curvature which gave magnifications up to 270 diameters, the finest known at that time. Robert Hooke, the English father of microscopy, re-confirmed Anton van Leeuwenhoek's discoveries of the existence of tiny living organisms in a drop of water. Hooke made a copy of Leeuwenhoek's light microscope and then improved upon his design.Charles A. SpencerLater, few major improvements were made until the middle of the 19th century. Then several European countries began to manufacture fine optical equipment but none finer than the marvelous instruments built by the American, Charles A. Spencer, and the industry he founded. Present day instruments, changed but little, give magnifications up to 1250 diameters with ordinary light and up to 5000 with blue light.A light microscope, even one with perfect lenses and perfect illumination, simply cannot be used to distinguish objects that are smaller than half the wavelength of light. White light has an average wavelength of 0.55 micrometers, half of which is 0.275 micrometers. (One micrometer is a thousandth of a millimeter, and there are about 25,000 micrometers to an inch. Micrometers are also called microns.) Any two lines that are closer together than 0.275 micrometers will be seen as a single line, and any object with a diameter smaller than 0.275 micrometers will be invisible or, at best, show up as a blur. To see tiny particles under a microscope, scientists must bypass light altogether and use a different sort of "illumination," one with a shorter wavelength.

Question : Does forensic science include using microscopes?

Question : Why do we use microscopes in life science?
Its about microscope training
Answer:
To understand how living things work you must understand them at the microscopic and molecular level. The basis of life is the cell, which is too small to be examined without the aid of a microscope.The use of a microscope in conjunction with specific stains can show you the distribution of important structural and functional components (like cellulose).Most aquatic food webs are based on microscopic photosynthetic autotrophs. Without the microscope, these would be unknown.Sections cut through biological tissues can reveal how form in related to function at the microscopic level.This could become a very long list but I will leave you with one final, important reason :Certain abnormalities in cells will be evident under the microscope and may help in diagnosis - for example chromosome abnormalitiesJohn H

Question : Different types of microscopes? (science help!)?
Can someone explain to me how the image is produced with the following: light microscope, electron microscope, and the scanning electron microscope. It doesn't need to be in much detail... just a simple explanation will be great because i'm trying to understand them for my test!
Answer:
Light microscope simply passes light through the specimen. There are 2 types of electron microscopes: Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). TEM is similar to light microscope in that it pass electrons through the specimen. SEM instead, shoots electrons to the side of an object, creating a dense area of electrons (dark area), this creates a 3D image of the specimen. Note that TEM is a cross-section view and that SEM is a 3D whole specimen.
