  1. Microscopes Lesson 3 September 24th, 2010

  2. The Microscope as a Tool for Cell Research • Once the microscope was developed, scientists were able to see and study the cell. Today, biologists use different types of microscopes to explore cell structure and function. • This knowledge is useful in assessing our health because cells can be viewed under a microscope to look for abnormalities.

  3. Compound Light Microscope • The compound light microscope uses two sets of lenses to magnify the object. • Illumination is provided by a light source on the base of the microscope. The magnification typically ranges from approximately 40 X to 2,000 X. • This means that it can magnify the object that many times.
