Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the function of the iris diaphragm? | regulates the amount of light on the stage |
Define Par focal | a subject/slide is in focus with one lens it will be in focus with all of the lenses |
Doe the oil immersion objective lens need to touch the immersion oil? | Yes |
Does the field of vision/view increase or decrease when using the higher objective lenses? | Decrease |
Total magnification =_________ | Ocular lens magnification multiplied by objective lens magnification |
Scientific notation uses meters as the base unit and works in powers of _______ | Ten |
When a negative power (or exponent) is seen, the decimal point moves to the: | Left |
Nano(meters) is represented by (give the exponent): | 10^-9 |
Micrometers are a ________ times smaller than meters. | Million |
What equipment will be needed/used to view a specimen that is measured in micrometers? | A microscope |
Give one example of something measured in nanometers? | Viruses |
What type of microscope would be necessary to view viruses? | An electron microscope |
Organisms that must be viewed with a microscope | Microbes |
Define Compound light microscope | contain two sets of lenses (ocular and objective) and visible light is used to view a specimen |
What makes a phase contrast microscope different than a compound light microscope? | Contains a higher quality condenser which improves the contrast between the specimen and surrounding medium. |
What are phase contrast microscopes used for? | View living specimens internal structures and observe motility. |
Describe electron microscopes and what they are used for | Much larger and complex. They use electrons instead of light and are able to view viruses. |
Transmission electron microscopes (TEM) allow what to be viewed? | Detailed internal structures can be viewed |
Scanning electron microscopes (SEM) allow what to be viewed? | Detailed external structures to be viewed. |
As magnification increases what should increase on the specimen, using what microscope component | More light, iris diaphragm |
Lens paper should be used on only what? | Oil immersion lens |
What is the function of the ocular lens? | A way to look through and view slide/specimen |
Function of the stage | Platform to place slide on |
Function of Fine Adjustment Knob and what lenses it is used for | Used her focusing in high power, Used for all lenses |
Function of Coarse Adjustment Knob and what lenses it is used for | Used for focusing in lower power, only for scanning (4x) and low objective lens (10x) |
Function of mechanical stage controls | Used to more precisely move slide |
Function of illuminator | Source of light |
Function of condenser | Collect all light from illuminator and focus it |
Function of iris diaphragm | Regulate amount of light |
Function of Objective lens | Used to view the specimen more closely |
What is the lens power of the scanning lens? | 4x |
What is the lens power of the low lens? | 10x |
What is the lens power of the high lens? | 40x |
What is the lens power of the Oil immersion lens? | 100x |
What happens to an image when viewed in a microscope? | It is flipped, appears different than with naked eye |
If you move a slide to the left what happens to the image in the field of view? | It moves to the right |
If you move the slide away from you what happens to the image field of view? | It moves down |
What happens to the image as you increase magnification? | It's more shaded |
