Abstract

Since the Ptolemaeos' discovery that glass has magnifying power, human desire to see the unseen with naked eyes has lead to the inventions of a series of microscopes. Since the Janssen's first compound microscope in 1595, through the Abbe's non-aberration microscopy, various microscopes using different principles are now being used in various biomedical researches. The discovery of electron by Thompson in 1897 has lead to the first invention of microscope using electron as an illumination source, the electron microscope, in 1931. Now we can see the objects as close as 0.05 nm using 1 MV FE-TEM constructed in 2000. In this review, the authors reviewed the predecessors efforts to develop better microscopes.

본고에서는 유리의 확대력 발견으로부터 현재까지 이르는 전자현미경과 관련된 중요한 이론 및 개발 과정들을 시대별로 검토하였다. Jansen에 의한 최초의 광학현미경 제작으로부터, 분해능의 한계를 해결하려는 노력들, 짧은 광원을 찾는 노력, 그리고 보다 양질의 해상력과 확대력을 얻으려는 여러 과학자들의 부단한 노력들을 특히 전자현미경 원리 및 TEM과 SEM의 초기 개발과정에 초점을 맞추어 생명과학적 측면에서 고찰하고, 아울러 우리나라의 전자현미경 도입 과정을 살펴보았다.
