Question
Answer
What total magnification with be achieved if the 10x eyepiece and the 10x objective are used?   100×  
🗑
What total magnification will be achieved if the 10x eyepiece and the 100x objective are used?   1,000×  
🗑
Microscopic objects often are measured in micrometers. A micrometer equals 1/1,000 of a millimeter and is symbolized by µm. In micrometers, what is the diameter of the scanning power field of view?   About 4,500 micrometers  
🗑
The diameter of the scanning-power (lowest power, 40X) field of view is 4.4 millimeters.   True  
🗑
If a circular object or specimen extends halfway across the scanning-power field, what is its diameter in millimeters?   About 2.2 mm  
🗑
In micrometers, what is its diameter?   About 2,200 micrometers  
🗑
The diameter of the field of view at low-power (100X) is 1.8 millimeters   True  
🗑
How does the diameter of the scanning power field of view compare with that of the low-power field?   The diameter of the scanning-power field of view is about 2.6 times greater than that of lower power filed of view.  
🗑
Why is it more difficult to measure the diameter of the high-power field of view than the low-power field?   Student is unable to see two adjacent mm lines on the scale in a high-power field of view.  
🗑
What change occurred in the light intensity of the field of view when you exchanged the low-power objective for the high-power objective?   Light intensity is decreased when high-power objective is used.  
🗑
Increases or decreases the light intensity   Iris diaphragm  
🗑
Platform that supports a microscope slide   Stage  
🗑
Concentrates light onto the specimen   Condenser  
🗑
Causes stage (or objective lens) to move upward or downward   Adjustment knob  
🗑
After light passes through the specimen, it next enters this lens system   Objective lens system  
🗑
Holds a microscope slide in position   Stage (slide) clip  
🗑
Contains a lens at the top of the body tube   Eyepiece (ocular)  
🗑
Serves as a handle for carrying the microscope   Arm  
🗑
Part to which the objective lenses are attached   Nosepiece  
🗑
Circular area seen through the eyepiece   Field of view  
🗑


   

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.
