ACTIVITY 1: MICROSCOPE Flashcards
- red objective, 4x
scanning objective
- yellow objective, 10x
low power objective
- blue objective, 40x
high power objective
- white objective, 100x
oio/oil immersion objective
- distance of top surface of the cover glass & tip of the
objective.
working distance/wd
- ability of an objective to distinguish two points in an image.
- expressed in resolving power
resolution
- corresponds to the F-number of a camera
- direct relationship with resolution
number of aperture/na
- depth range of a specimen, in which focusing is obtained at a time.
focal depth
- diameter of the image observed through the eyepiece in millimeters.
field number
- diameter of the field of view, expressed as the size of the specimen
actual field of view
objective magnification x eyepiece magnification
total magnifying power/ magnification
lens properties
parfocality
parcentrality
definition
identifies position (coordinates)
specimen holder scale
adjust stage to adjust focus
specimen holder x-axis
same with CAK
precise focusing
fine adjustment knob
- directs light into specimen
- light into parallel waves
- Gathers and concentrates light
condenser
ascends and descends the condenser
adjust the right of the field
condenser height adjustment knob
Amount of light entering condenser
Aperture Iris Diaphragm
