What are the most important parts of a compound light microscope?
Ocular Lense
Objective Lenses
Stage
Light Source
Magnification
Make an object appear larger
Resolution
Make an object appear clearer
Relationship between Magnification and Resolution
Inversely Proportional
When Magnification increases Resolution decreases
Example of Inversely Proportional Relationship:
Speed and Time
Example of Directly Proportional Relationship:
Number of Workers and Amount of Work Completed
Ocular Lense
Used to look through to view specimens
Arm
Used to carry the microscope (also hold base)
Objective Lense Powers
Low (red), Medium (yellow), High (blue)
Stage
Lock in specimens
Can move front/back, side/side, up/down
Purpose of a pointer in an ocular lense
To point out specific parts of a specimen
Cell differentiation
Cells become different
Cell Specialization
Cells receive different jobs
Multicellular
Many Cells
