A Brief History Of The Microscope

Viruses are so small, they can't be seen with a normal optical microscope, so how do we know what they actually look like? Here we will explore the history microscopy to learn about the invention that let us see viruses, and beyond!

Correction: The word Animalcule is a combination of "animal" and the diminutive suffix -culum. The word molecule is built from the same suffix.

    At first, I was like, if photon wavelength is the issue then why not just use smaller wavelengths? Like gamma rays for instance. Then I realized that gamma rays would just pass through the sample instead of being reflected, yielding no image. Well played, universe. Well played.

    I believe that fact is essentially the definition of whether a frequency is disturbed by matter, isn't it? If a photon is "too small" for a molecular structure, it's because the structure disrupts the wave? If you throw a basketball at a cheese grater, the energy of the ball will continue predictably (ignoring the classical thermodynamics of mass (which photons don't have) which would push the grater). But if you throw a grain of sand at a cheese grater, it will interact with the complex angles of the metal of the grater and bounce off at God knows what angle. In the case of light, that varied diffusion disrupts (absorbs/reflects), absorption being the disintegration into thermal energy? I guess I'm not entirely sure why molecular structures interact with light at all. What is light reflection caused by if it isn't two masses colliding?

Might I suggest you expand on this idea to demonstrate how the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of the Cell Theory? That's a direct standard in my home state of Florida, and I suspect it is in other states as well. There's a couple other cell theory videos out there, but, well...you can do better. Fingers crossed!

    Ehrm, sorry for the nitpick, but it's kinda my thing... "-cule" is derived from a Latin diminutive suffix. So "animalcule" actually means "little animal". You can see it in "calculus" = little pebble (as used on an abacus), and "molecule" = "moles" + "-cule" or "little mass". Other than that, I really like these "ocean of photons" visualizations! It's the kind of thing I know must happen, but seeing it in action really lets me grok it.
