1. Diseases were caused by demons, witches,

or curses sent down to punish humankind.

2. A tool that allows us to see details and objects

too small to see with our bare eyes.

3. The artist and researcher Robert
Hooke in 1665.
4. He was a fabric merchant that started to design his

own microscopes to examine the quality of fabrics, but

curiosity led him to discover the microorganisms.

5. Microorganisms that you can find in many
environments.
6. Optical microscopes, they use lenses and light to

function, they can be use to see cells and

microorganisms like bacteria and protists.

7. Microscopes that shoot electrons at their subjectis instead

of photons. You can see objects with more detail and viruses.
8. They scan the bumps and valleys of a Surface with a

tiny metal probe, generating and extremely high –

resolution image to see individual atoms.

 9. Push the limits of what we can see through a

microscope, the have combined the use of visible light

with scanning probe.

 10. Microscopes that let us record the molecular motions that power

chemical reactions. In biology field they are useful to read organism´s

DNA. In medicine field allowing us to see viruses so cleary to know their

differences and how they change so we can create new vaccines.
