 THEN, HOW ARE
THESE BACTERIA
DISCOVERED OR
OBSERVED?
ANTON VAN LEEUWENHOOK
-first to observed bacteria in 1676 used a
single lens microscope
-Dutch microscopist
-Father of Microbiology
‘micro’ = small/tiny
‘scope’= where the term means to view or
to observe.

MICROSCOPE- a tool which can

help you see tiny objects and
organisms

MAGNIFYING GLASS
SIMPLE MICROSCOPE
-created in the 17th century by
Antony Van Leeuwenhoek
-Magnifying between 200 and
300 times
-used for basic purposes such
as reading and magnifying
glass.
COMPOUND -has two or more convex lenses
MICROSCOPE -typical magnification range
between 40x and 1000x
-Available in monocular,
binocular, trinocular, and multi-
head configurations
- One objective is used at a
time
PARTS OF A MICROSCOPE

ENSL/ EICEYEE
-known as ocular
-the lens at the top that you
look through, usually 10x
or 15x magnifying power.

YBOD UBET

- eyepiece holder
- connects the eyepiece to
the objective lenses.

JECTIVEOB LENSES
EYEPIECE- 10X
OBJECTIVE LENS- 4X
-Usually you will find 3 or 4
MAGNIFICATION
EYEPIECE x OBJECTIVE
objective lenses on a
LENS microscope.
-They almost always consist
of 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x
magnifying powers.

OBJECTIVE LENSES
 MAGNIFICATION
Total magnification= (magnification of an ocular)(magnification of an
objective lens)

Example:
Total magnification= (40x) (40x)
= 1600
