  • First Compound Microscope

    Hans Janssen and his son Zacharias made Dutch Eye glasses for a living and discovered how to make a compound microscope
    The first Microscope was just simply a tube with an eye glass at each end
  • Hooke's Compound Microscope

    Robert Hooke improved on the invention of the compound microscope adding stands and making it stand up right It held a candle showing an opened flame that would shine light on the mirror Hooke first discovered cells in a cork when he looked through his new and improved microscope
  • Leeuwenhoek"s simple Microscope

    Scleiden and Schwann discovered that all plants are made of cells
  • Rudolf Virchows theory

    Rudolf discovered that all cells are come from formed only from existing cells, all cells come from cells
  • Modern Compound Light Microscope

    this Microscope is very similar to Robert Hookes modification to the microscope exept it now can magnify up to 1,000 times and has a horsehoe base
  • Transmission Electron Microscope

    Ernest Ruska created the first electron microscope. Transmission Electron Microscopes makes images by shooting electons at the dead organisms they can not have a live organisms because the electons would kill any alive organisms TEM can magnafy up to 500,000 times
  • Scanning Electon Microscope (SEM)

    This Microscope shoots electrons over the serface of a speciman rather than through it! and can inlarge up to 150,000 times giving a 3D picture
  • Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM)

    A STM can magnify a specimen up to 1,000,000 times and can count the number of particals that leak out of a specimen
