compound light microscope is a series of lenses (hence "compound") that focus visible light in such a way as to produce a magnified image. A single lens‚ often called a magnifying glass‚ cannot generally magnify images as much as a series of lenses although Antony van Leeuwenhoek‚ the first microbiologist‚ used a simple‚ albeit exquisitely crafted‚ lens to discover single-celled "animalcules‚" as he called them. Advantages: Basic compound light microscopes are inexpensive and relatively easy to use

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

look through at the top of the microscope. Typically‚ standard eyepieces have a magnifying power of 10x. Optional eyepieces of varying powers are available‚ typically from 5x-30x. * Eyepiece tube holds the eyepieces in place above the objective lens. Binocular microscope heads typically incorporate a diopter adjustment ring that allows for the possible inconsistencies of our eyesight in one or both eyes. The monocular (single eye usage) microscope does not need a diopter. Binocular microscopes

viewing the onion cell through the microscope. Place the microscope slide onto the microscope stage. Place the microscope stage clips onto the slide. This will prevent the microscope slide from moving during observation. Ensure that the microscope’s lens magnification is at either x10 or x40. Look through the eye-piece and draw what you can see. Post-Practical - After the Experiment/Tidying away equipment; Turn the focusing handle so that the microscope lenses are at the top of the microscope.

capable of bending when passing through an object‚ when it enters the lens‚ the light gets reversed and magnified through the prisms‚ and eventually enters your eyes. Our eyes are also binocular instruments. This means they take to images and bring them together to form a single‚ high quality image. Binoculars consist of two small telescopes mounted side by side‚ one for each eye‚ and a focusing mechanism. By having a lens system for each eye‚ these instruments provide three-dimensional viewing

Lori Stenbeck Bio K121 June 7‚ 2012 The Microscope Introduction: The purpose of a microscope is to see either enlarge images of small objects and or make seen what is invisible to the naked eye. We have two types of microscopes available in the lab. The dissecting microscope is designed to study objects in three dimensions at low magnification. The compound microscope is used for examining small or thinly sliced sections of objects under magnification that is higher than the dissecting microscope

The telescope is an important astronomical tool that gathers and focuses electromagnetic radiation. Telescopes serve to both increase the angular size and the brightness of objects. When we speak about telescopes we are usually referring to optical telescopes‚ but many other types of telescopes also exist for other spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. It is unclear as to who it was that actually invented the telescope but Galileo Galilei is credited as being the first to use a telescope for
