ACTIVITY 1: THE MICROSCOPE Flashcards
How much larger an object appears under a scope than it actually is.
Magnification
Ocular magnify
10X
Rendering of details. light is the limiting factor. The light of the scope allows resolution of 0.2 µm.
RESOLUTION
The distance through which you can move the specimen and still have it in focus the higher, the magnification the closer the objective is the slide, and so the __________ decreases ,this requires a more delicate technique.
Depth of field
The part of the microscope or generally classified into three
These are the : magnifying, illuminating and mechanical parts
This is the classification of microscope, are those that enlarge the image of the object being examined
Magnifying parts
It provides reflect or regulate light, it is one of the classification of the microscope.
illuminating parts
Eid in adjustment and provides support to the microscope or parts of the microscope. It is one of the classification of the microscope.
Mechanical parts
Binocular school there are two ocular lenses, one for each eye.
NOTE:
The power of the ocular lens multiplied by the objective lens gives the total magnification of the micros
Ocular lens or eye piece
It holds the ocular in place
Body tube
It is a circular lead with four objective lenses that can be rotated into position for different magnifications.
NOTE:
Always rotate this by holding the outside never push on the lens barrel .
Revolving nosepiece
It has four separate lenses that magnify the image (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x)
Objective lenses
It is used for initial location of the specimen
4x
It is used for observing specimens that don’t need greater magnification
10x
It is used for specimens requiring greater magnification
40x
It is used for magnification of extremely small specimens such as bacterial cells. It must immerse in oil, so it is called the
High oil objective/ 100x
It is a platform just below the objective. It has a hole so that light can pass through the specimen from below.
Mechanical stage
Clip to hold the slide on the stage
Stage clip
It is the light source
Lamp
It is used to adjust the brightness of the light eliminating this specimen, which is crucial for maintaining visibility as the magnification changes and affects the brightness
Switch and light intensity knob
All that concentrates or directs the light onto the slide
Condenser
I love her or rotating disk that adjust the amount of light eliminating the slide
Iris diaphragm
Support for the upper portion of the scope it also serves as a convenient carrying handle
Arm
Rapid control, which allows for quick focusing removing the objective lens or stage up and down it is used for initial focusing
Coarse adjustment knob
