Question | Answer |
---|---|
what are the 4 lens | red (scanning) 4x yellow (low power) 10x blue (high power) 40x white (oil immersion) 100x |
What is the optical part of the microscope? | objective lens |
what is the function of the condenser? | allow more or less light in |
Why is the function of the iris diaphragm.? | controls light intesity |
What part of the human eye does the iris diaphragm compare too. | iris |
why is oil used between the specimen and the oil immersion objective? | increases power of the microscope. keeps light in by bending it. |
Define parfocal | lens that stays in focus when magnification focal length is changed |
define resolution | shortest distance between two points on a specimen that can be distinguished. |
define working distance | between lens and slide |
define magnification | refined power (enlarge object) |
define field of view? | observable area seen though lens |
define ocular | lens that magnify 10 times |
define revolving nosepiece | rotates to change from one objective to another. |
define objectives? | lenses of 4 difference magnification |
define slide holders | spring-loaded portion allows placing the slide in the mechanical stage where it is tightly held |
define diaphragm lever | opens and closes diaphragm to control amount of light striking objects |
define condenser | condenses light waves into pencil-shaped cone, thereby pre venting escape of light waves; also controls amount of light striking object. |
define condenser adjustment | raises and lowers condensers |
define mechanical stage | allows the slides to be moved |
define mechanical stage controls | moves the slide on two horizontal planes |
define base | supports the entire microscope |
define arm | used in carrying the microscope |
define coarse adjustment | moves stage up and down very slowly for approximate focusing |
define fine adjustment | moves stage up and down for purposes of definitive focusing |
define body tube | supports upper portion of microscope |
at which point (power of magnification) can bacterial morphology ne determined? why? | 1000x to clearly see shape/ inside structures |
what type of microscope would you use to observe a stained bacterial smear | compound light microscope |
what type of microscope would you use to observe a virus | scanning electron microscope (SEM) |
what type of microscope would you used as a diagnostic tool for tuberculosis | florescent microscope |
what type of microscope would you use to observe the inside details of living microorganisms | light microscope |
what is the equation for calculating final magnification of an image> | objective lens x ocular lens = final magnification. |
