Microscope Research Paper The evolution of the microscope. The first form of the microscope was a crystal that was found by someone from a long time ago. The crystal was thick in the middle, but thinner around the egdes. The crystal made things look bigger when someone looked through it. The pearson also noticed that if the sun shone through the crystal, certain things could get burnt or set on fire. They were known as "magnifiers". Magnifiers were mentioned in the writings of the two Roman philosophers
Robert Hooke discovered some of the world's first microorganisms and should be the known as the father of cell biology. He made discoveries way before scientists like Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek had made them, even though he didn't really understand what he saw, he gave it the name the ¨cell¨. He also wrote one of the most important scientific books to date as well, Micrographia. He was also a great physicist and discovered the law of elasticity which gave us a great understanding of stress and strain
SCIE 258 Prof.K Tianhao Liu A true sight of Robert Hooke’s letter This article is going to evaluate what kind of person Robert Hooke is by a letter. Although Robert Hooke is well known for his great discover of the field of microbiology, there is some proof that Robert Hooke may take his advantage of his background in Royal society to take down his opponent. I come out this thought while I am digging the background of the people related to the letter, and I want to know the background
Inventions and Discoveries Human lifestyle has recently changed through the inventions and discovery of new technology and science. Technology and science are closely related hence, the technology uses science to answer problems, while science uses technology to come up with new discoveries. However, technology and science target different objectives. The objective of science is to provide an answer to the critical questions, thus help to increase knowledge while the goal of technology is to find
Due: 10/19/15 Using a Compound Microscope Lab Report E Period Abstract The purpose of this lab is to learn about the parts and uses of a compound microscope. It is also to learn how to properly use and take care of the microscope. This lab showed me what materials and parts of the microscope I should use when examining an object. Introduction The microscope was invented by a father and son, Hans and Zaccharias
Newton’s life were Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Robert Hooke. Copernicus discovered the heliocentric theory. This idea was revolutionary because before his theory, people believed that the sun revolved around the earth (geocentric theory). However, Copernicus presented the theory that the earth revolved around the sun (heliocentric theory). Another scientist, Galileo Galilei, created the first telescope. Thus, with his new invention, he was able to see the Milky Way, features of the Moon
cell theory, in particular the contributions of Robert Hooke and Robert Brown. The development of the cell theory starts in the 1600ʼs with Robert Hookeʼs discovery of cells when viewing a piece of cork under a microscope and describing them as a nun house. Anton van Leeuwenhoek was crucial in the development of microscopes making simple microscopes through advanced lens making techniques that enabled him to see 300X and also discovered bacteria. Robert Brown later in the 1900ʼs made the discovery of
The earliest microscope magnified the object ten times the actual size. They were made up of a tube with a plate for the object at one end and, at the other, a lens which magnified the object. In 1609, Galileo worked with the lenses and made more advanced instrument with a focusing device. Anton van Leeuwenhoek taught himself methods of polishing tiny lenses of extreme curvature which gave best magnification of that time up to 270 diameters. This led to the building of his microscopes and his discoveries
make during photosynthesis provide nutrients and energy to organisms that consume plants. Organisms that consume the plant-eaters gain nutrients and energy from them, so both energy and materials are passed from organism to organism. Plants capture light energy and transform it into chemical energy. This chemical energy is transferred from plants to animals via the food chains. -Respiration: the process by which cells obtain energy. In this process, organic molecules, particularly sugars, are
