Microscopy and Cell Biology Quiz

One of the first people to observe and coin the term "cells" with a compound microscope was the English Scientist and Inventor?

• Anton Van Leeuwenhoek

• Robert Hooke

• Zaracharias Jansen

• Karen MacGuigan

Which scientist improved the microscope and was the first to observe bacteria or "animalcules" and known as the "Father of Microscopy"?

• Louis Pasteur

• Robert Koch

• Anton van Leeuwenhoek

• Zacharias Janssen

What type of microscope did Anton Van Leeuwenhoek make and use? Hint: Look at the Picture!

• Simple Microscope

• Compound Microscope

• Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)

• Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

The major difference between a Simple Microscope and Compound Microscope is that

• Simple Microscopes are more expensive than Compound Microscopes

• Simple Microscopes use two lenses while Compound Microscopes use three

• Simple Microscopes are smaller than Compound Microscopes

• Simple Microscopes use one lens while Compound Microscopes use two or more lenses

When referring to the sharpness of an image while using a microscope it is commonly called

• magnification

• single celled bacteria

• resolution

• objective lenses

What do Electron Microscopes use to produce magnified images

• a beam of electrons

• wavelengths of light

• convex lenses

• mirrors

What is the main advantage of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) over a light microscope?

• 3D surface imaging

• Simple multiplication operation

• Live cell observation

• can see less detail

Which field benefits most from the use of microscopes?
