Question: Who among the following invented Microscope?
Options:
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Robert Hooke
Matthias Jakob Schleiden
Zacharias Janssen
-A Dutch father-son team named Hans and Zacharias Janssen invented the first so-called compound microscope in the late 16th century when they discovered that if they put a lens at the top and bottom of a tube and looked through it, objects on the other end became magnified.
-A compound microscope is a high-power (high magnification) microscope that uses a compound lens system.
-A compound microscope has multiple lenses: the objective lens is compounded (multiplied) by the eyepiece lens to obtain a high magnification.
-Higher magnification is achieved by using two lenses rather than just a single magnifying lens.
🔴Additional Information::
• Simple Microscope:
-It is used to see the magnified image of objects.
-It was invented by Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek.
-It produces images that are virtual and enlarged.
• Terrestrial telescope:
-It is used to view distant objects on land.
-The image produced by the telescope is virtual, erect, and small.
-It consists of three lenses the third lens is to produce the erect image.
• Compound Microscope:
-A compound microscope uses two or more lenses to produce a magnified image of an object.
-The image produced by the microscope is magnified, virtual and inverted.
• Astronomical telescope:
-It is used to view celestial bodies like stars and planets.
-The image produced by this telescope is virtual inverted and small.
