Q

Explain why cells need to be stained… (2)

A
  • cells are often transparent and therefore difficult to see under a light microscope.
  • different organells will absorb different volumes of pigment, creating contrast within a cell that can easily be seen under a light microscope.

Q

how to calibrate eyepiece graticule

A

stage micrometre increments ÷ EPG increments

Then multiply by 10 cause each stage micrometre increment is 10 micrometres.
