Compound Microscope Consisting Of A Simple Tube With Lenses At Each End.
A. Van Leeuwenhoek
B. Semmelweis
C. Janssen
D. Hooke


ANS: C
Feedback: The Compound Microscope, A Pivotal Invention In Microscopy, Is Attributed
To Hans And Zacharias Janssen, A Dutch Father-And-Son Team, In The Late 1500s.
Their Device Used Two Lenses To Magnify Images, Setting The Stage For Major
Advancements In Microbiology.
Ref: P. 3


2. “Animalcules” Were First Described By
A. Robert Hooke.
B. Antony Van Leeuwenhoek.
C. Hans Janssen.
D. John Needham.


ANS: B
Feedback: Antony Van Leeuwenhoek Is Credited With The Discovery Of Microscopic
Life Forms, Which He Described As “Animalcules.” Using Handcrafted Single-Lens
Microscopes, He Was The First To Observe Bacteria And Protozoa In The 1670s.

,Ref: P. 3


3. Micrographia, A Publication Illustrating Insects, Sponges, As Well As Plant Cells,
Was Published By
A. Robert Hooke.
B. Antony Van Leeuwenhoek.
C. Hans Janssen.
D. John Needham.


ANS: A
Feedback: Robert Hooke’s Micrographia, Published In 1665, Was The First Major Work
On Microscopy And Included Detailed Illustrations Of Small Organisms. It Was Also
The First Scientific Book To Use The Term “Cell.”
Ref: P. 3


4. Low-Power Microscopes Designed For Observing Fairly Large Objects Such As
Insects Or Worms Are
A. Electron Microscopes.
B. Dark-Field Microscopes.
C. Fluorescence Microscopes.
