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.

    • @onetwothree4148
      @onetwothree4148 4 года назад +3

      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?

      Wouldn't gamma rays destroy the sample? I mean, I don't think DNA reacts well to them.

      @@Goreuncle yes, actually gamma are not an example of wavelength that would pass through, but larger, non-ionizing wavelengths would. The point of ionization essentially being both the determining factor in both relevant limits: the destruction of molecules and the demarcation of visible light.

      Yeah. This could have been explained in a better way. Visible light photons (200 nm max resolution) can't illuminate viruses (100nm size). If you reduce the wavelength by choosing uv ray wavelength photon or x-ray wavelength photon, the high energy of this photon will fry the organic sample.
      Electron microscopes have resolution up to 0.02 nanometers.

    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.

He mentioned multiple times that he was talking about the size of the wavelength, and he did preface the explanation as not being entirely literal. Describing a visible photon as a massless entity that interacts with matter as though it has a specific spatial size is basically true and a very useful heuristic

    • @StatedClearly
      @StatedClearly  4 года назад +7

      Jevon, when creating this video we went back and forth on how to model light. In the spirit of George Box, we finally decided the large particle model was most useful in this context. We have a note on screen explaining this when we first introduce the "photon as a particle" model. I understand your critique about bouncing back between wavelength and size but once I established with the viewer that we're going with a particle model in this context, I felt it was fine to talk about photons as having size. The times I mention its "wavelength" are really just nods to the people who I knew would be upset with the particle model. Maybe what I thought was a nod, just ended up making it worse.
      In the future, I'd like to do a series on light: how it has been modeled over time, what we currently think it is, and so on. This animation wasn't the place for all of that.
