Lab No. 2: The Microscope Light microscopy The bright field microscope is best known to students and is most likely to be found in a classroom. Visible light is focused through a specimen by a condenser lens‚ then is passed through two more lenses placed at both ends of a light-tight tube. The latter two lenses each magnify the image. Limitations to what can be seen in bright field microscopy are not so much related to magnification as they are to resolution‚ illumination‚ and contrast

administration. There are several methods that can be used to investigate the size and shape of particles. These range from basic (generally older) techniques such as sieving and use of optical microscopes through to more advanced techniques‚ such as using a coulter counter‚ a scanning electron microscope or photon cross correlation spectroscopy. You will cover a range of techniques in the lectures that accompany this section of the module and you should refer to your lecture notes for further details

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the

They are microscopic cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues throughout the body. Upon transporting oxygen‚ red blood cells also exports waste‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ to the lungs where it can be expelled. Red blood cells are made up of hemoglobin which is surrounded by a
