  1. History of Cell Biology Chapter 4, Section 1 Video: Brief History of Cells

  2. Robert Hooke • English scientist (1635) • Used a light microscope to study nature • Looked at a thin slice of cork from the bark of a cork oak tree • “great many little boxes” • Reminded him of cubicles or “cells” where monks lived

  3. Anton van Leeuwenhoek • Dutch trader (1632) • 1st to observe living cells • Algae: Spirogyra • Protists: Vorticella • Animalcules (protists) • Made microscope 10x that which Hooke used • Known to have made over 500 different microscopes

  4. Matthias Schleiden • German Botanist (1804) • Concluded that all plants were composed of cells

  5. Theodor Schwann • German zoologist (1812) • Friend of Schleiden • Concluded that all animals are composed of cells

  6. Rudolf Virchow • 1821 German Physician • Concluded that all cells come from other cells

  7. Cell Theory • All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. • Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism. • Cells come from the reproduction of existing cells.

  8. Compound Light Microscope • Two lenses to magnify an image • Eyepiece (ocular lens): magnifies usually 10x • Objective lens: enlarges the image • 4x, 10x, 40x • Stage: platform that supports the slide • Light Source: light bulb • Either light reflected with a mirror or an incandescent small lamp http://www.semsupplies.com/Resources/Image93.gif

  9. Paramecium Elodea - green algae http://science.exeter.edu/jekstrom/JPEG/ELODEA~1.JPE • Specimen has to be thin enough • for light to pass through • Can see living organisms. http://ebiomedia.com/gall/classics/Paramecium/images/para8.jpg

  10. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) • Transmits a beam of e- through thinly sliced specimen • Magnetic lenses enlarge the image • Can magnify up to 200,000x • Black and white • Can not view living specimens http://mstd.llnl.gov/highlights/matchar/images/tem.jpg

  12. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) • Sprayed with a fine metal coating • Beam of e- over the specimen’s surface • Causes metal coating to emit a shower of e- • Project onto a fluorescent screen • Three-dimensional • Add color • Magnify up to 100,000x http://www.lbp.police.uk/forensicscience/images/scanning%20electron%20microscope.jpg

  14. Scanning Tunneling Microscope • Uses needle-like probe to measure differences in voltage caused by e- • Computer tracks the movement of the electrons • Gives 3D image • Adds color http://www.engr.unl.edu/erc/images/afm.jpg
