    Module 1:
    The Microscope
    HISTORY OF MICROSCOPE
    Hans and Zacharias Janssen produced the
    first compound microscope in the 1590s.
    They were Dutch eyeglass makers. They
    began experimenting with ways to use
    different lenses. When they put a lens at
    the end of a small tube, they discovered
    that the objects near the end were
    magnified more than the lens by itself
    could achieve.
    Galileo Galilei was credited with
    inventing one of the first compound
    microscope in the year 1625. It is
    called compound microscope because
    it has more than one lens. He added a
    focusing device to his microscope and
    of course went on to explore the
    heavens with his telescopes.
    In 1665, Robert Hooke had access to many
    microscopes available in Royal Society of
    London. He examined everything he could
    get his hands on. When he examined a very
    thin slice of cork, he thought the close- up
    views resembled small, empty rooms. It
    reminded him of small rooms found in
    monastery; thus he named these rooms’
    cells. This gives way to the discovery of
    cell.
    In 1674, Anton van Leeuwenhoek,
    Dutch scientist, worked to create
    stronger lenses that result to more
    powerful microscope. He was one
    of the first scientists able to
    observe bacteria movement in a
    single drop of pond water.
    The prototype for the compound
    microscope was credited to Joseph
    Jackson Lister in 1830, which reduces
    spherical aberration or the “chromatic
    effect” by showing that several weak
    lenses used together at certain
    distances gave good magnification
    without blurring the image.
    Ernst Abbe, research director of
    the Zeiss Optical Works, wrote a
    mathematical formula called the
    “Abbe Sine Condition”. His formula
    provided calculations that allowed
    for the maximum resolution in
    microscopes possible in 1872.
    In 1903, Richard Zsigmondy
    developed the ultra-
    microscope that could study
    objects below the wavelength
    of light and he won the Nobel
    Prize for Chemistry in 1925.
    Frits Zernike invented the phase-
    contrast microscope in 1932 that
    allowed for the study of colorless
    and transparent biological materials
    for which he won the Nobel Prize
    in Physics in 1953.
    In 19th century, companies in
    Germany like Zeiss and an
    American company founded by
    Charles Spencer began
    producing fine optical
    microscope.
    Now that you’ve learned about
    the history of the development
    of the microscope, let us find
    out how far you have
    understand by answering the
