Topic 2: Special Microscopes

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Stereo Microscope   2 light microscopes combined Low magnification/Large focus More powerful than objective lens  
🗑
Uses for stereo microscope   Colposcope (Vaginal examination) Microsurgery Dissection (papillae) Parasitology and Pathology  
🗑
Dark Field Microscope   Cartoid filter: Blocks central light Object scatters light Object illuminated on a dark field  
🗑
Uses for Dark Field Microscope   Unstained organims Tracking movement of micro-organisms  
🗑
Principle of Phase Contrast Microscope   Varying thicknesses in object Varying refractive indices Microscope amplifies these variances  
🗑
Theory of Phase Contrast Microscope   Annulus diaphragm - Over condenser Ring of light allowed through Phase Ring - In objective lens Changes wavelength by 0.25 (lambda) Combines refracted and diffracted light  
🗑
Uses of Phase Contrast Microscope   Living cells Unstained cells Cell cultures  
🗑
Nomarsky Microscope   2 Prisms Polarised light Prism 1: Splits light Split Light enters object close to eachother  
🗑
Nomarsky Microscope (Prism 2)   Prism 2 reassembles the light Contrast due to: Difference in refractive index not thickness  
🗑
Uses of Nomarsky Microscope   Cell cultures Unstained cells Living cells Immunostained material  
🗑
Polarisation Microscope   2 filters Polarizator - Condensing lens Analizator - Objective lens  
🗑
Polarizator & Analizator   Filters light onto one plane Analizator is // : Field of vision is bright Analizator is perp.: Field of vision is dark  
🗑
Anisotropic   Structures that are able to rotate light to another plane. Shows up bright on a dark field eg. Crystals  
🗑
Use of Polarisation Microscope   Membrane analysis Diagnositics  
🗑
Flouresence Microscope   UV light source 2 filters pre and post specimen Specimen absorbs light, emits a light with bigger wavelength  
🗑
Colour of self fluorescing tissues: Collagen Porifines Carotinids Lipofuscin   Light Blue (Collagen) Red (Porfirines) Yellow (Carotinids/Lipofuscin)  
🗑
Flourescent Dyes (F.A.R.)   Flourescine Acridine Orange Rhodamine  
🗑
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope   Laser beam excites molecules Laser moves across the object Light focused (w/pin hole) Records image Thicker objects  
🗑
Light beams in Flouresence Microscopy   Barrier 1: 450-490 nm Barrier 2: <510 nm (reflected) > 510 nm (pass) Barrier 3: 520 to 560 nm (pass through)

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.
