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

Virtual Lab: Cell Cycle Lab (Onion Root Tip) In this virtual lab activity‚ you will be observing the cell cycle in the tip of an onion root. The root tip is responsible for the downward growth of the root and is one of the regions in the plant where cells are actively dividing and growing. Because of this‚ the root tip is an excellent system in which to observe the entire cell cycle‚ including the processes of nuclear division (mitosis) and cell division (cytokinesis). You will be submitting a

How microscopes have contributed to our understanding of living organisms There are 2 types of microscopes these are; light microscope and electron microscope. Light microscopes use a beam of light however the resolution is lower than the electron microscope so the image is not clear‚ however they can view living organisms. These types of microscopes are used in schools to view simple cellular structures‚ which is good to teach simple biology Mitosis and meiosis can be seen with light microscopes

Molecular Techniques - Lab #1 BIO 349 Lab Report #1 Microscopy and Staining Abstract The primary focus of this lab was on microscopy and simple stains. Microscopy that was used were magnification‚ slide preparation‚ and staining. Methylene blue‚ a simple staining component‚ was used to stain the slide in order to see the different microbes and determine their cellular shape. Introduction The purpose of this lab was to become familiar with the light microscope and how to accurately

electron microscopes in biological studies. Microscopes are laboratory equipment which are used to observe any matter that is too small to be seen by the naked eye. There are several types of microscopes – the two most common being the optical microscope‚ also known as a light microscope‚ and the electron microscope‚ which can be either a transmission electron microscope (TEM) or a scanning electron microscope (SEM). There are more differences than similarities between light microscopes and electron

cells. Tissue from an onion is a good first exercise in using the microscope and viewing plant cells. The cells are easily visible under a microscope and the preparation of a thin section is straight forward. An onion is made of layers‚ each separated by a thin skin or membrane. In this exercise you will make a wet mount on a microscope slide and look at the cells of the onion membrane magnified by the high power‚ compound microscope. We also can observe the actual structure of plant cells which consists
