All living things are made of cells
• Cells are the basic unit of living things
• All cells come from other cells
• This is the classical cell theory
![Page 6: Lab 2: Cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815321550346895dc147c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Cells are small
• Most bacteria are .5-2µm in size
• Light microscope’s limit= ~500nm=.5µm
• Single eukaryotic cells are larger, but still to small to see without magnification
![Page 7: Lab 2: Cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815321550346895dc147c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Microscopes allow us to see the world of cells
• Microscopes use multiple lenses to magnify small things
![Page 8: Lab 2: Cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815321550346895dc147c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Measuring the world of the small• We use the metric system • The metric system uses powers of 10• Major metric prefixes are 1000-fold apart• English-Metric conversions:• 1 meter = 1.09 yards• 1 centimeter = .4 inches• Metric interconversions• 1 m = 100 cm• 1 cm = _____m
![Page 9: Lab 2: Cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815321550346895dc147c2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Metric System
• Decimal system (powers of 10)• Base units (meter, gram) modified by prefixes:
kilo = thousand 1000.0centi (c) = hundredthcenti (c) = hundredth 0.010.01milli (m) = thousandthmilli (m) = thousandth 0.0010.001micro (µ) = millionthmicro (µ) = millionth 0.0000010.000001nano (n) = billionthnano (n) = billionth 0.0000000010.000000001

The Metric System
• How do you convert from one metric unit to another?
• Each decimal place represents one power of 10.
• 1.0 meter =100 or 102 centimeters (cm)1000 or 103 millimeters (mm)1,000,000 or 106 micrometers (µm or microns)
1,000,000,000 or 109 nanometers (nm)
![Page 11: Lab 2: Cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815321550346895dc147c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Metric System
• Example: 1.0 cm = ? m– Since a centimeter is a hundredth of a meter, it is
10x10 or 2 decimal places smaller than a meter. – So, move the decimal point 2 places to the left:
1.0 cm = 0.01 m
![Page 12: Lab 2: Cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815321550346895dc147c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Metric System
• Example: 1.0 cm = ? mm– First put both in terms of meters:
1.0 m = 100.0 cm = 1000.0 mm– How many powers of ten (decimal places) are
there between cm and mm? – If 100.0 cm = 1000.0 mm, then
1.0 cm = 10.0 mm – So to convert from cm to mm, you must multiply
by 10 (move the decimal point one place to the rightright).

Field of View
• Actual diameter of microscope image at a certain mag.
• As magnification increases, field of view _______.
![Page 19: Lab 2: Cells](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56815321550346895dc147c2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Using a Light Microscope
• Letter “e”– Practice steps for observing specimens– Draw what you see at different powers– Calculate total magnification
• Silk threads– Get a sense of ‘depth of field’ (how deep can
lenses focus at different powers) – Try to determine relative positions of threads
(top, middle, bottom)

Cells can be placed into two categories
• Prokaryotic and eukaryotic
• Prokaryotic- smaller and simpler
• Eukaryotic- larger and more complex
• Eukaryotic- containing membrane-bound organelles

Your instructions for the lab• 1. Draw each subject in detail. Label 2
organelles.• 2. Using field of view, estimate size of

• 4. Describe drawn pond water organism. What does it look like? Size? What do you think it is? Categorize it. Unicellular? Plant or animal? Etc.

Using a Light Microscope
• Cleaning up:– Remove and return your slides.– Put the scanning objective in place and lower it all
the way down. – Roll up the lamp cord neatly.– Carefully return your microscope to the shelf
