7. Which statement is correct? (1) The coarse adjustment should be used to focus on high power. (2) When using the microscope, first find the specimen on high power, center the specimen in the field of view and then focus and view the specimen on low power. (3) As we go from low to high power, the field of view gets smaller and the image gets darker. (4) The total magnification of the microscope is computed by multiplying the objective powers together

    The microscope itself is a device used to produce a magnified image of an object or specimen. Ever since Anton Von Leeuwenhoek's (1632-1723) invention of a device powerful enough to explore the world of microbes, an explosion of interest has been enthused in the scientific possibilities of microscopes. The fascination of the microscopic world that opened up in biology inspired rapid progress both in microscope design and, equally more importantly, in preparing material for examination - both of which played a vital role in shaping the microscopes of today.…

    The first action taken in this lab was the recording of predictions of what will be visible in the cell under the microscope. The next action taken was viewing a spirogyra cell under a microscope at 40x magnification to focus it. Then the ocular lens was rotated to the 100x magnification and a picture was recorded of what was visible under such magnification, after the slide had been focused. After recording the picture, the ocular lens was rotated to 400x magnification and another picture was recorded of what was visible under the microscope, once again after the slide had been focused. After the 100x magnification and also the 400x magnification, and estimation was recorded of how many cells fit across the field of view. The same process was followed for the banana cell, tomato cell, paramecium cell and smooth muscle cell, with the tomato slide being stained with methylene blue solution, and the banana stained with Lugol's solution, both to highlight certain cell parts. The independent…

    In the Microscopy, Mitosis, and Motility lab, the class used the Compound Microscope. The Compound Microscope helped examine the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, observe the different stages of mitosis, and compare modes of motility used by protists. The light compound microscope works with the aid of lenses such as the eyepiece. These lenses help keep the focus of the light on the eye. The fine and course adjustments also assist with the focus of the object one is viewing while moving the stage up and down. The mechanical stage control helps move the slide horizontally and vertically.…

    A microscope is an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects, typically magnified several hundred times. It consist of different lenses such as: Scanning = 4X, Low power = 10X, High power = 40 or 43X, Oil Immersion = 100X. A microscope is an instrument to see objects too small for the naked eye. It’s a device used for magnifying small entities which cannot be seen by the eyes without any additional aid, it uses combination of magnifying lenses with a rotator that can be used to adjust the item view option. It is made out of glass that is magnified, and in the olden days, when microscopes were first made, they were handmade. The main purpose of a microscope is magnifying samples and examining them in detail. A microscope also determines whether a group of cells is cancerous and finds out more information about the structure of bacteria and viruses. On a microscope, a diaphragm, also known as an iris, is a revolving disk under the stage that can be adjusted to allow more or less light. It is typically a plastic disk located between the light source and the specimen mount. The compound microscope has two systems of lenses for greater magnification, 1) the ocular or eyepiece lens that one looks into and 2) the objective lens, or the lens closest to the object. A microscope works by using lights, mirrors, and glass to magnify. The mirrors and glass bend the light in a certain way that it makes small objects appear larger.…
