        Help!  

Term
Definition
Magnification   How much larger a specimen’s image appears compared to its actual size.  
🗑
Contrast   How well the specimen stands out from the bright background  
🗑
Resolution/resolving power   the ability to see details and distinguish structures.  
🗑
What do Most light microscopes have a RP of ?   0.2 µm  
🗑
Reflection   light bounces back off the object.  
🗑
Absorption   light waves are taken up by the object.  
🗑
Transmission   light passes through the object.  
🗑
Refraction   as light passes from one medium to another it changes speed and this makes the light bend.  
🗑
Compound light microscope   Uses a series of lenses to collect and focus light as it is transmitted through the specimen on a slide.  
🗑
Stereo dissecting light microscope   used to observe specimens in 3-D  
🗑
Electron microscope   - use a beam of electrons to create the image.  
🗑
Transmission electron microscope (TEM)   used to visualize internal cellular structures 10,000-100,000X.  
🗑
Scanning electron microscope (SEM)-   used to visualize external structures in 3-D. Can magnify image 10,000-50,000X  
🗑
NUMERICAL APERTURE   Represents the angle of light refracted •Measures the amount of light gathered by the objective lens  
🗑
RESOLVING POWER   represents the size of the smallest object that can be seen with that objective  
🗑
