history+of+the+microscope

** In this task we are going to learn about the history of the microscope and how its invention and early use was critical to the discovery of cells, germs and other aspects of biology. It is another example of how a single discovery or invention can kick-start the development of a whole branch of science. ** ** In your research project address the following issues: ** __//** 1/ the history of the microscope: **//__ ** who, when, where and developments in the technology from the first microscope to the different types of microscopes used today ** __//** 2/ early notions of cells **//__ ** what were they? ** ** how did improvements in microscope technology help develop our understanding of cell biology ** //__** 3/ the role of the microscope in the development of modern biology﻿ **__// ** in what other ways did the invention and development of the microscope assist us in developing the science of biology. ** ** Some useful video clips that may assist in your research are given as links below. Note that these alone are not sufficient to fully complete this project. ** Invention of the microscope   media type="file" key="Van Leuwenhoek and the microscope video clip.mp4" width="300" height="300" Microscopes and the discovery of germs
