Chapter 7 A Tour of the Cell
Prokaryote No membrane bound nucleus or organelles DNA is concentrated in a region called the nucleoid 1 – 10 μm in diameter Include bacteria and archaea Eukaryote Membrane-bound organelles True nucleus (w/DNA) enclosed in a nuclear envelope 10 – 100 μm in diameter Include protists, plants, fungi and animal cells A Tour of the Cell
Animal Cell Have: Mitochondria Nucleus Cell Membrane Rough & Smooth ER Ribosomes Golgi Apparatus Cytoplasm Cytoskeleton Peroxisomes Also: Lysosomes Centrioles Flagella and Cilia Plant Cell Have: Mitochondria Nucleus Cell Membrane Rough & Smooth ER Ribosomes Golgi Apparatus Cytoplasm Cytoskeleton Peroxisomes Also: Chloroplasts Vacuoles Cell Wall Plasmodesmata
Microscopes Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
The Compound Light Microscope • Magnifies up to 1500x • Living and non-living specimens • 3-D image • Image produced using 2 lenses • Light must be able to pass through specimen
Parts of the Microscope • Objectives • Left- Scanning- 4x • Middle-Low power-10x • Right-High power-40x
Magnification - the ratio of an object’s image to its real size X Total magnification = eyepiece x objective
Resolving Power The ability of a microscope to distinguish clearly between objects close together under a microscope Low resolution High resolution
Field of Vision Amount of area visible under each objective
Measuring the field of vision • How large is the field of vision pictured in mm? In μm? • Suppose you estimate 13 microorganisms could fit across this field of vision? How large is one microorganism in μm? 1 millimeter (mm) = 1000 micrometer (μm)
Field of Vision Observe the next three slides. What is happening to the field of vision as the magnification increases?
Field of Vision • What happened to the field of vision as you change from scanning to low to high power objective? • How would the object’s apparent size change?
The Stereoscope • Also called dissecting microscope • Can view large opaque objects • Living and non-living specimens • Magnifies up to 100x • 3-D image
Electron Microscopes Electron Microscopes – Electron beam focused through the specimen or onto its surface (electron beams have wavelengths much shorter than visible light) • Two types • Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) – internal or ultrastructure • Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) – surface of the specimen • Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) - views molecules at atom level
TEM • Transmission Electron Microscope
TEM • Beam of electrons pass through specimen • Magnifies up to 500,000x • 2-D image • Non-living specimens only
TEM Collagen Fibrils in the cornea
TEM • Plant Cell-22,500X • C = ChloroplastER = Endoplasmic ReticulumG = Granum M = Mitochondrion S = Starch GrainT = Thylakoids V = Vacuole W = Wall
SEM • Scanning Electron Microscope • Electrons bounce off surface • Specimen placed in vacuum chamber
SEM • Non-living specimens • 3-D image • Magnifies up to 60,000x
SEM • Technician monitors image on screen
SEM Pollen Grain
Scanning Tunneling Microscope • Developed in 1980’s • Can view atoms on surface of objects • Non-living • 3-D image • Magnifies up to 100 million x
STM • Barium, Copper, and Oxygen atoms
STM • Silica atoms • A nanometer (nm) is one millionth of a millimeter
