Microscopes by Joan Messenger https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg Write a padlet post of something you learned or found interesting about microscopes from videos viewed today in class. en-us 2017-09-26 14:59:31 UTC 2017-09-27 16:41:44 UTC hello@padlet.com Abby Kozlowski mkozlowski1 https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191439077 Microscopes
To look closely at a small object you use a microscope. Here is how it works, you look through the eye piece to see into the tube.  Next is the body tube, and that is the tube between the eye piece.  The revolving nose piece helps you get a view of the object from different directions. The adjustment knob helps you to zoom in to see objects. The on and off switch turns on and off the microscope. The stage is a flat surface where you put down small objects. The stage clips hold the small objects down. The base is the bottom of the microscope. The light will dim or brighten for you to see the objects. The diaphragm controls the amount of light in the microscope. Finally the arm is the support of the microscope. It holds it up, and you use it to carry a microscope. These are the parts of the microscope. They are very useful when you have to examine small objects.

I'm going to be focusing on the history behind the invention of the microscopes. Some people might believe that Galileo Galileo or Hans Lippershey, the inventors of the telescopes, who both played with the lenses to get a closer look at things, to be the inventors of the microscope. Others credit it to the 1500's father and son duo of Hans and Zacharias Janssen who made their living off of the newest discovery of eyeglasses grinding. The Janssens wondered what would happen if you took a big concave lens to gather light on one side and a convex lens to magnify it on the other ,like Galileo's telescope, and instead put two small, almost spherical convex lenses. When they did that, They realized that their machine can magnify things up to nine times and it had a short focal length. A short focal length means it could bring images into focus over a short distance. This helped the Janssens with their nearsighted customers, but did not help others. Another scientist ,Robert Hooke, figured out how to trick the Janssens designs after seventy years later to help explore the world with the microscope. After discovering and researching many things he saw chambers in a piece of cork  and called them cells. Then, Antony Van Leeuwenhoek designed his own handheld microscope with special lenses which magnified objects up to two hundred seventy times. Now, over the years, the world has made new modifications to the microscope to make it better. In conclusion, the microscope has been used to help people all over the world,]]> 2017-09-26 19:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191443592 Cameron Eastep https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191445157 Microscopes have many parts and can be very useful. The first part is the eye piece. In the eye piece you look through. Next is the tube which connects the eye piece to the lenses. After that is the arm that supports the microscope. Next is the body for support. Then the light so you can see through the tube. Next you have the stage which is the flat area on the microscope where you also put the slides. Then you have the nose clip  that revolves. After that you have the objective lenses that allows you to look at it in different ways. Last you have the diaphragm that controls the amount of light that goes in. These are the basic parts of the microscope.]]> 2017-09-26 19:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191445157 Rachel Griffin https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191451228 Microscopes have many parts. When you are using a compound microscope the first part of the microscope is the eye piece. The eye piece is where you look through in order to see the thing you are studying. The next part of the microscope is the tube. Then on the microscope is the arm. After the arm is the base. You hold the microscope from this part. Then is the Light source. You can strengthen and weaken the light that shines on the object that you are studying. The next piece on the microscope is the stage and stage clips. This is where you put the object that you are studying. After the stage and stage clips is the nose piece. This usually rotates. After the nose piece comes the objective lenses. Then the diaphragm and finally the base. I learned a lot about microscopes today. ]]> 2017-09-26 20:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191451228 Abby Cardella https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191452294 I'm going to be talking about the parts of a microscope and how these things help you use a microscope and make a microscope easier to use. The first part of the microscope is the Eyepiece. With out the eyepiece, you wouldn't be able to look through the microscope. Another name for this is the Ocular Lense. The next part of the microscope is called the Body Tube. This connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses. The next thing is called the Revolving nose piece. You can adjust this by spinning it. Next is the Objective Lense. This is one of the most important things on a microscope. It has 3-5 lenses ranged from 4x to 100x. You can adjust this to help you focus and see as clearly as you need. The next part of a microscope is called the arm. This piece simply connects the body tube to the base of the microscope. Next is the Aperture. This is the hole in the middle of the stage that allows the light from the illuminator to reach the specimen (thing you are looking at through the specimen). And the last important thing on a microscope is the light. The light is very important because without it, you'd be seeing in the dark. You wouldn't be able to see the object because there would be no light shining on it. You can adjust the light to your liking. Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed my paragraph. ]]> 2017-09-26 20:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191452294 Alex Smith https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191460880 microscopes
let's learn about the origins of the microscope. I want to tell you that the microscope has been around for 400 years helping scientists all around the world just like the people who made the first compound microscope. Two Dutch spectacle makers, Zacharias Jansen and his father Hans. They have been able to do that a with simple technology used still today. Also with microscopes that are  optical and other microscopes such as a compound light which combines the power of lenses and light to enlarge the subject being viewed. Also a stereo microscope 
dissecting microscope, that has two optical paths at slightly different angles letting the image or object to be viewed multidimensional under the lenses.

What I found interesting in microscopes was how all the different parts are all still very useful. Like the arm which you might think is very useless but without the whole thing would fall apart without it. I am very excited to see what I am outing in the lens when we do our experiment. Microscopes have a lot of different parts and they all need each other to make a microscope. Like without the eye piece you would not be able to see the particles or who without the light you would not be able to see your chemical at all. This is what I found interesting about Microscopes, and is very excited to use one o my own!]]> 2017-09-26 20:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191461744 Gianna Romero https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191463485 Microscopes can be used in many ways. They help magnify objects. I am going to be focusing on a few of the parts of a microscope. There is an arm that holds up the entire thing. After that there is the eye piece that you look through to see the object up close. The body tube takes the eye piece to the base. After the base is the light source. All of the parts of the microscope have a purpose. Microscopes are super cool. ]]> 2017-09-26 20:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191463485 Abbey Campbell https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191464214 Microscopes
Microscopes have many different tools and parts. Some things that I learned were one of the most important parts in a microscope is the on/off switch. The on/off switch is important because you need lighting in your microscope to see. With the diaphragm, another very important part, you can adjust your lighting, making it easier to see the item you are looking at. A different item may need different lighting so you might need to change the lighting depending on the item. ]]> 2017-09-26 20:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191464214 Bridget Shulman https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191466302 Microscopes
I thought  what microscopes are  very needed in the human world. The microscope uses light to  make small, microscopic things , for example, cells and parasites.  It's like a giant magnifying class that has way more complexion. With human eyes alone, we can't see past our body hair and skin  tone. With a microscope you can see them so close up, you can see how skin cells work to make the  hair and the tone of  your body  possible, just by  looking through a microscope.]]> 2017-09-26 21:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191466302 Mackenzie Currey https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191480832 Microscopes
Something I learned about the microscope was all the parts. I learned that the eyepiece is a type of lens that is attached to a variety of devices such as a microscope. A fine adjustment knob is inside the coarse adjustment knob, it is used to bring the object into sharp focus. A light source is a lamp that is usually located at the base of the microscope. The arm is one of the most important parts of a microscope, it is connected to the body tube and base, it holds all the wait of the other functions. The proper way to hold a microscope is by putting one hand on the arm and the other at the bottom of the base.]]> 2017-09-26 22:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191480832 Taylor Bazzett https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191482735 Microscopes are scientific tools that help us examine different types of objects up close, typically being used to get a closer look at different cells. Scientists conclude that the brains behind the telescope, Galileo and Hans Lippershey, were also the ones to invent the microscope. I learned that microscopes detect the smaller details of objects that the naked eye cannot see. 
 Through watching all three videos, I found out that a magnifying glass and microscope can see about 270 times closer up than the naked eye.]]> 2017-09-26 22:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191482735 VLADISLAV LARYOSHYN https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191486743 microscopes
I find microscopes interesting in the fact that it intensifies it's microscope to get closer and how much it can get closer. It an get as close as 200+ times to the original size, showing bacteria, germs, and more things. I find this interesting because although this has happened before, it shows that technology is advancing.]]> 2017-09-26 23:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191486743 Stephanie Amato https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191488010 Microscopes
  Microscopes are science instruments that has lens to see small objects that are too small to see distinctly from our eyes.The things that fascinated me the most about microscopes was that microscopes helped cure a terrible disease called polio. Some people give credit to Galileo and Hans Lippershey for making the microscope because they invented the telescope and have played with lenses. Other people believe that the Dutch father and son of Hans and Zacharias Johnson invented the microscope. The parts of a microscope that really interested me were the arm, stage, eyepiece, and the body tube. The eyepiece is the part where you look through to the see your object. The body tube connects the eyepiece to the lenses and the arm supports the microscope. The stage is the area where you put the slide. The slide holds the object in which you are testing.]]> 2017-09-26 23:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191488010 Elise Robinson https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191491979 Microscopes
I learned many facts about microscopes from this video. I never knew there were so many parts to a microscope. There is the eyepiece, arm, stage, body tube, stage dips, lenses, etc. I also found it interesting that it's called microscopy. Also, the microscope has been around for 400 years! I learned that it can close up on cells, bacteria, plants, parts of animals, etc. There are also many types of microscopes such as the ultra microscope. It has a giant light beam that can get a better view on the object. The men that made the telescope are Galileo and Hans Lippershey. Many people give credit to them for making the telescope and tinkering with the lenses. Others give credit to the Dutch father and son team of Hans and Zacharias Johnson. Who knew microscopes could be so interesting?]]> 2017-09-27 00:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191491979 Noah Brannock https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191492392 Microscopes

I never new that there was some much history behind a microscope. More then 400 years a microscope has been around. Without the microscope scientist would of never found cure for polio or beable to make microchips. And microscopes made for simple technolighy.  Galileo Galilei and Hans Lippershey who created the telescope messed around with lenses to get a closer look at the earth. Hans and Zacharias Janssen made a living in the late 1500s as eye glass lense grinders. Then they wondered if you took a telescope like Galileo then put lenses on it and can get the microscope to soom in 9 times. Thats the history behind the microscope. ]]> 2017-09-27 00:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191492392 Kenzie White https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191492411 Something I learned about microscopes is that it has many parts and each part is used in a different way. One of the many parts of a microscope is the eyepiece lens. It is the lens at the top that you look through.The tube connects the eyepiece to the lenses. The revolving nose piece is for identifying or observing specimen. Next is the arm. The arm supports the tube and connects it to the base. You can use the arm to carry the microscope. The stage is where the specimen is placed for viewing. The stage clips keep the slides in place. The aperture is a hole that allows light through. The diaphragm controls how much light can get through the aperture. Next is the course adjustment nob, it moves the stage up and down so you can focus more on the specimen. You can use the fine adjustment nob to see detail. Now you know all the parts of the microscope and what they are for.   ]]> 2017-09-27 00:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191492411 Hannah Smith https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191498502 Microscopes
I knew that microscopes had lots of different parts but I did not exactly realize how many. It is so interesting to see how all the parts work and how they all work together. The parts of the microscope are the eyepiece, the arm, the stage, diaphragm, aperture, coarse focus knob, fine focus knob, and the objective lenses. The eyepiece is where you look through a lens and it magnifies the object. The arm supports the body tube and the eyepiece. The stage is where the specimens are placed for viewing. The diaphragm controls how much light get through the aperture.The aperture is a whole above the light sources. The coarse focus knob moves the stage around so that it can focus on the object. The fine focus knob is to focus on more detail about the object. The objective lenses are the primary lenses in a microscope. That is all the parts of the microscope and what they are used for. ]]> 2017-09-27 01:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191498502 Taye Williams https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191622757 Microscopes
I never realized that there were so many different parts in microscopes. I didn't know that the thing that you look through is called an eyepiece. I also didn't know that it was called an arm. Another thing that I didn't know about microscopes is that microscopes have lights. What I found interesting about microscopes is that they have different types of lenses. What I also found interesting is that without the arm everything would fall apart. One more thing that I found interesting is that microscopes can be used to spot things that can be really cool and can't be seen without a microscope.]]> 2017-09-27 12:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jmessenger/g4is20zm25bg/wish/191622757
