MICROSCOPE USE - SCIENCE

WHAT ARE THE KEY PARTS OF A MICROSCOPE ?
a) Coarse focus knob is to focus the image
b) Fine focus knob is to also focus on the images but makes minor changes
c) stage is to put your slides
d) stage clips are to hold the slides in place so it wont move around
e) we look through it

HOW TO SET IT UP?
To set it up we grabbed the microscope carefully from the base and neck along with the light box.
we tore a leaf apart till we see a thin white bit (easier to see the plant cells). We took the white bit out of the leave and placed it on the side, then poured in two drops of iodine to stain it. We then placed a thin glass cover on it making sure that our fingerprint weren't on it

WHAT DID I OBSERVE?
We were looking into plant cells
This is basically what it looked like but brown since we stained it
with iodine ---------------->


SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
ANIMAL CELLS AND PLANT CELLS.
both cells are very small we wouldn't be able to see it with a naked eye. Basically they are building blocks of all animals and plants. All animals and plants are made out of cells but their cells are a bit different
PLANT CELLS - A regular box shape with a large vacuole, cell wall and chloroplast
ANIMAL CELLS - Irregular shapes
BOTH CELLS - Cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus

5 TYPES OF MICROSCOPES

• Type 1: Compound Microscopes. 
• Type 2: Dissection/Stereoscopes. 
• Type 3: Con focal Microscopes. 
• Type 4: Scanning Electron Microscope
• Type 5: Transmission Electron Microscopes 

WHAT WAS DISCOVERED USING MICROSCOPE ?

Back in 1663 an English scientist named Robert Hooke Discovered "cells", He named them cells because it reminded him of jail cells
