Transcript of Unit 2Cell Structure Microscopy Understanding what cells are Cell Types Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes...
Unit 2 Cell Structure• Microscopy• Understanding what cells are• Cell Types• Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes• Plant vs. Animal Cells
• Cell Organelles – “organs of the cell”• Structure determines function
Microscopy – using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the eye alone
Why Microscopy??• Need to know how to use the tool that can help us better see and
understand cell structure• If we can’t see cell structures, how can we understand them?
Plant cells under varying magnification
Animal cells under varying magnification
Preparing a specimen on a slide mount• Specimen = the object
you are observingEx: red blood cells, human cheek cells
Steps to Viewing Success1.) ALWAYS begin with the coarse adjustment lowered and the SCANNING OBJECTIVE2.) Raise the coarse adjustment until you see your specimen, and then center it in your field of view.3.) Switch to LOW Objective, adjust the FINE adjustment until your specimen is focused.4.) Switch to HIGH objective, adjust the coarse and then fine adjustment until the specimen is focused.**BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREAK THE LENS OR THE SLIDE ON HIGH OBJECTIVE**
Intro to Microscopy Daily Assessment1.) List three things you learned today2.) Which is the most important, and why
