Hello, I am Anton Van Leeuwenhoek. You might think I'm a scientist, but I'm not. I am a Dutch shopkeeper. I just bought the jacket.
Oh my goodness! There are little...little things floating in this water! I think I will call them wea beasties! Wait, no, that's not a good idea. Then people would panick and run around saying they have beasts in their water! We can't have that.
This thing I'm holding is called a microscope, which I invented! Well, I invented a type of microscope. It is called a simple microscope.
Robbie comes into the mix! (1665)
Holy cow! This cork looks like a monk's cell. That gives me an idea! I will call these things cells!
Hello. I am Robert Hooke. I was very bored, so I decided that I would look at a cork under this microscope. It is a compound microscope.
Hi! I'm a simple microscope! I was used by Anton Van Leeuwenhoek. Then, well, people forgot about me. I faded into the background and was renamed the magnifying glass. Can you imagine being forgotten, shunned to the side, being renamed, and with a ridiculous name too! It's so embarrassing!
First, there were two types of microscopes, simple and compound Then, times changed, and the simple microscope faded from the minds of humans. They wanted to use a better microscope. They took the compound microscope and made it better. the lens powers were greater, and it could magnify images farther. Then, emerged, the new and improved compound microscope!
Evolution of technology (microscopes) over 200 years
Hello! I'm the first compound microscope. I was also shunned to the side, but that was so I could be upgraded, so I'm kind of glad I was shunned. enough about me, let's hear it for my brother, the upgraded compound microscope!
Why, thank you brother! I take great pride in being invited here tonight! I was upgraded, and thanks to humanity, I am the most famous microscope. Well, interview time is almost over, so let's get back to the scientists!
