Light Microscope Occular Lens Objective Lens Stage with specimen Light Source
TEM SEM
Scanning Electron Microscope - SEM • Excellent views of surfaces. • Produces 3-D views. • Live specimens possible.
Limitations • Lower magnifications than the TEM.
Cell Biology or Cytology • Cyto = cell - ology = study of • Should use observations from several types of microscopes to make a total picture of how a cell is put together.
History of Cells • 1833 - Robert Brown, discovered the nucleus. • 1838 - M.J. Schleiden, all plants are made of cells. • 1839 - T. Schwann, all animals are made of cells. • 1840 - J.E. Purkinje, coined the term “protoplasm”.
Types of Cells • Prokaryotic – • Eukaryotic -.
Prokaryotic Eukaryotic Nucleus

Chromatin • Chrom: colored • - tin: threads
