Compound Light Microscopes   1. Brightfield (used in high school) 2. Phase Contrast 3. Nomarski 4. Flourescence 5. Confocal 6. Dissecting microscope  
🗑
Phase Contrast   Alignment of light beam that lets us see organelles >> highly refractive structure  
🗑

🗑
TM   Total magnification  
🗑
Normarski   Differential interference suited for viewing LIVE specimens  
🗑
Fluorescence   Certain cellular structures tagged (dyed) w/fluorescent molecules **Colored!  
🗑
Confocal   Lasers as light source  
🗑
Dissecting Microscope   1. External structures of plants and animals 2. Aka stereomicroscope 3. 3D image 4. No reversal or inversion 5. Bifocal 6. 1 objective (50x) 7. Range of TM: 6-50x  
🗑

🗑
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)   Beam of electrons back and forth across the surface  
🗑
Scanning Tunneling Microscope   1. Views DNA, which repairs enzympes 2. Atoms of NaCl crystal  
🗑
Transmission Electron Microscope   1. Cross-section 2. Beam of electrons thru THIN specimen (0.1 micro) 3. 3D 4. Black and white  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
