Microscopy and Eukaryotic Cell structure
| A | B |
|---|---|
| Compound microscope | instrument magnifies objects too small to be examined with the naked eye by using a system of lenses to enlarge the image up to 1,000 times |
| Substage diaphragm and condenser Unit | these help regulate the amount of light passing through the specimen and the contrast in the image |
| Brightness regulator | the rheostate should never be turned to maximum brightness. If your field of view is too dark, try adjusting the substage diaphragm FIRST and then increase the brightness regulator slowly. |
| The refocus the image use... | the fine-focus knob only |
| Microscope Parfocal | if the image is in sharp focus at low power, it will remain in focus when you switch to medium power |
| To increase the light intensity must first - | adjust the substage diaphragm |
| At medium-power the depth of field is | Shallower |
| Total Magnification= | Ocular power(10x) X Objective Power |
| Total Magnifications possible | 40x 100x 1000x |
| 100X | oil immersion |
| PLP | magnifying power of low-power objective (10) |
| PMP | magnifying power of medium-power objective (40) |
| DLP | diameter of low-power field of view (micrometers) |
| DMP | diameter of medium-power field of view (micrometers) |
| stage micrometer | microscopists use to measure the field of view of a research microscope |
| Dissecting Microscope | allow you to (1) observe specimens that are too large to be viewed with a compound microscope, and (2) observe specimens in 3 dimensions -light source is external |
| Stereoscopic dissecting microscope | specimens shown in 3 dimensions |
| What does it mean by the light source being external? | the light striking the specimen reflects off of it rather than passing around and through it as with a compound microscope |
