Q

structural support that holds and connects the eyepieces to the objective lens

A

monocular or binocular head

18
Q

supports the microscope head and attaches it to the base

A

arm

19
Q
  • holds the objective lenses and attaches them to the microscope head
  • this part rotates to change which objective lens is active
A

nosepiece

20
Q

bottom base of the microscope that houses the illumination and supports the compound microscope

A

base

21
Q
  • usually 3-5 optical lens objectives on a CM each w diff magnification levels
A

objective lenses

22
Q

total magnification of a CM is calculated by

A

multiplying the objective lens magnification by the eyepiece magnificaion level

23
Q

object used to hold the specimen in place along with slide covers for viewing
- most slides and slide covers are thin glass rectangles

A

specimen or slide

24
Q
  • platform upon which the specimen or slide are placed
  • height of the mechanical stage is adjustable
A

stage or platform

25
Q

clips on the stage that hold the slide in place on the mechanical stage

A

stage clips

26
Q
  • disc or iris diaphragm
  • circular opening in the stage where the illumination from the base of the CM reaches the platform of the stage
A

aperture

27
Q
  • lens condenses the light from the base illumination and focuses it onto the stage
  • this piece of the CM sits below the stage and typically acts as a structural support that connects the stage to arm or frame of the microscope
A

abbe condenser

28
Q
  • adjusts the focus of the M
  • increase or decrease the level of detail seen when looking at the slide or specimen through the eyepiece of the compound microscope
A

coarse and fine adjustment knobs

29
Q
  • adjusts the position of the mechanical stage vertically or horizontally
A

stage height adjustment

30
Q

light used to illuminate the slide or specimen from the base of the microscope

A

illumination

31

Q

TYPES OF MICROSCOPES

A

light microscope
scanning electron microscope
transmission electron microscope
phase-contrast microscope
interference microscope
confocal LASER scanning microscope
stereomicroscope

34
Q
  • oldest and most straightforward type of microscope that uses a series of glass lenses, which first focus a bean of light onto or through an object, and convex objective lenses to enlarge the image formed
A

light microscope

35
Q
  • works by impacting a bean of high-energy electrons on the surface of the specimen and obtaining signals from the specimen surface to determine its properties
  • gives 3d view w high magnification and high resolution
  • mainly used to study the surfaces of cells and viruses
A

scanning electron microscope

36
Q
  • a focused electron beam is passed through an ultrathin specimen (less than 100nm thick), resulting in an interaction betwenn the specimen’s atoms and the electronic beam, and generating a projection image
  • used to examine microanatomy of biological tissues, cells, and organisms
A

transmission electron microscope

37
Q
  • light microscopy technique used to enhance the contrast of images of transparent, colorless, unstained, living biological specimens (phase objects)
  • light is diffracted (scattered) and retarded based on the refractive index of the object
  • negative phase contrast:
  • positive phase contrast:
A

phase-contrast microscope

background is dark, specimen is bright

specimen is dark, background is bright

38
Q
  • uses a prism to split light into 2 slightly diverging beams
  • one beam pass through the specimen (and is retarded) and the other bypasses the specimen
  • both beams are recombined with the help of a mirror
  • provides 3d appearance of thicker specimens at higher magnification
A

interference microscope

39
Q
  • works by passing a laser beam through a light source aperture which is then focused by an objective lens into a small area on the surface of the sample
  • an image is built up pixel-by-pixel by collecting the emitted photons from the fluorophores in the sample which allows for 3d reconstruction of a sample from high-resolution stacks of images
  • used to observe organelles in cell biology and etc
A

confocal LASER scanning microscope

40
Q
  • aka dissecting microscope
  • low power microscope which combines 2 optical paths for each eye to provide a 3d view of the specimen
  • used to visualize surfaces of plant specimens, fabrics, jewelry, circuit components
A

stereomicroscope
