| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| An instrument used to investigate small objects | microscope |
| Type of microscope that allows light to pass through a specimen and uses two lenses to magnify the image | Compound Light Microscope |
| Type of microscope that shines a beam of electrons through a thin specimen | Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) |
| Type of microscope that scans a beam of electrons on the surface of a specimen | Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) |
| Part of the microscope that contains the ocular lens | eyepiece |
| Part of the microscope that turns to change from one objective lens to another | revolving nosepiece |
| Part of the microscope that's used first to rapidly bring the image into focus | coarse adjustment knob |
| Part of the microscope that's used to sharpen the image into clear focus | fine adjustment knob |
| Part of the microscope that supports the microscope slide | stage |
| Part of the microscope that holds the microscope slide in place on the stage | stage clips |
| Part of the microscope that controls the amount of light entering the scope | diaphragm |
| Power of the ocular lens x Power of the objective lens being used = | Total Power of Magnification |
| Always carry a microscope by its ______ and its ________. | arm, base |
| The shortest objective lens, usually capable 4x magnification. | Low/Scanning Power Objective |
| An objective lens usually capable of 10x magnification. | Medium/Low Power Objective |
