CELL THEORY• The CELL THEORY is made up of ___ parts.

CELL THEORY• 1) All organisms are composed of one or

more cells.

• 2) The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization of organisms.

• 3) All cells come from pre-existing cells.

Anton van Leeuwenhoek• Leeuwenhoek lived at the

same time as Robert Hooke, (1600’s) and used a simple light microscope to view object.

• Over the next 200 years, scientists improve microscopes and develop a compound light microscope.– Which uses a series of

lenses to magnify objects up to 1500X.

Electron Microscopes

• First used in the 1930’s & 1940’s

• Uses a beam of electrons to magnify up to 500,000X

• Structures within cells can be seen

• Specimens must be examined in a vacuum

• Two basic types:– Scanning (SEM)– Transmission (TEM))
