Q

The parts that holds two or more objectives. It can be rotate to change the magnification easily.

A

Revolving Nosepiece or Turret

21
Q

This is an adjustment that determines how close the objective lens can get to the slide. It is set at the factory and keeps students from cranking the high power objective lens down into the slide and breaking
things.

A

Rack Stop

22
Q

This is used to focus the microscope. It is always used first, and it is used only with the low
power objective.

A

Coarse Adjustment Knob

23
Q

This is used to focus the microscope. It is used with the highpower objective to bring the
specimen into better focus.

A

Fine Adjustment Knob

Q

are the second most common type of microscope

A

Stereo microscopes

25
Q

They can also be referred to as dissecting, dissection, or inspection microscopes.

A

stereo microscope

26
Q

The stereo microscope is what many refer to as a ________ microscope.

A

low power

27
Q

Magnification (power) of Stereo microscope can have a range from about ______with magnification in the ____ the most popular.

A

10x to 80x ; 10x to 40x

28
Q

in the category of low power microscopes is the single light path (like a compound microscope) type usually referred to as a _______.

A

dissecting microscope

29
Q

, a German engineer and academic professor, built the first Electron Microscope in 1931

A

Ernst Ruska (1906-1988)

30
Q

It is a special type of microscope having a high resolution of images, able to magnify objects in nanometres, which are formed by controlled use of electrons in vacuum captured on a phosphorescent screen

A

electron microscope

31
Q

The ______________ is used to view thin specimens through which electrons can pass generating a projection image.

A

transmission electron microscope

32
Q

It is termed a _________ because the image is formed by scanning a focused electron beam onto the surface of the specimen in a raster pattern

A

scanning electron microscope

33
Q

TEM is analogous to _____ whereas, SEM is analogous to _____

A

Compound microscope
Stereo microscope

34
Q

– This is a microscope that uses the differences in the phase of light transmitted or reflected by a specimen to form distinct, contrasting images of different parts of the specimen.

A

Phase Contrast

35
Q

Unlike stereo and compound microscopes, which use regular light for image formation, the _____ uses a laser light to scan samples that have been dyed.

A

confocal microscope

36
Q

these microscopes offer a high degree of magnification, but their resolution is much better; they are commonly used in cell biology and medical applications.

A

confocal microscope

37
Q

– A microscope in which the object viewed is illuminated by polarized light for typically analyzing the content and make-up of organic or inorganic material like crystals, chemical microscopy, and optical mineralogy.

A

Polarizing

38
Q

– A microscope that is used for identification, inspection, and analysis of different metals and alloys.

A

Metallurgical

38
Q

use new technology for a miniature camera and illuminator in one unit.

A

Handheld Digital Microscopes

39
Q

How to determine magnification ?

A

the magnification of a microscope is determined by multiplying the power of the eyepiece by the power of the objective lens being used.

40
Q

the _______ is the diameter of the circle of light that you see when looking into a microscope and it is measured in millimeters

A

field of view

41
Q

The ________ have the widest field of view. As you increase power, the field of view gets _____.

A

lowest powers; smaller

42
Q

how much __ is a function of the objective lenses and means the farthest and nearest points in the field of view are in simultaneous sharp focus.

A

depth of field

43
Q

– means the farthest and nearest points in the film plane (photomicrography) or the CCD plane (video microphotography) which are simultaneously in focus.

A

Depth of Focus

44
Q

– a quality describing the appearance of the field of view as being flat from edge-to-edge

A

Flatness of Field

45
Q

-how light or dark the image is
- is related to the illumination system. It is also related to the N.A. of the objective lens where the larger the N.A., the _____ the image at that power.

A

Brightness; brighter

46
Q

– is the ratio of light and dark parts of a specimen or object and how well they are defined and the main part of the microscope that affects this is the illumination system.

A

Contrast

47
Q

– this is a condition in which all optical elements are centered on the same axis.

A

Collimation (Alignment)
