Brightfield Microscope
a type of compound microscope that allows light rays to pass directly to the eye w/out being deflected by an intervening opaque plate in the condenser
Resolving Power
ability of the lens to show two adjacent objects as discrete entities
Working Distance
proximity of the slide to the bottom of the objective lens
Refractive Index
the light bending ability of glass, oil, and air
Total Magnification Formula
oculars x objective lens = total magnification
Scanning Power =
40x
(10x4)
Low Power =
100x
(10x10)
High Power=
400x
(10x40)
Oil Immersion =
1000x
(10x100)
Working Distances
scanning= 9-10 mm
low power= 5-8mm
high power= 0.5-0.7mm
oil immersion= 0.13-0.18 mm
Parfocal
an object in view under one objective will still be in view under other objectives
Field of View
area seen through a microscope
Vector
agents that carry a pathogen affecting another species
