17
Q

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

A

18
Q

Almost always consist of 4x, 10x, 40x and 100x powers

Short lens - lowest power
Longest lens - greatest power

A

Objective lenses

19
Q

An adjustment fhat determines how close the objwctive lens can get to the slide

20
Q

Is used to vary the intensity and size of the cone of light that is projected upward into the slide

Q

Focus the microscope, used only with LPO

A

Coarse adjustment knob

22
Q

Focus the microscope, used with HPO to bring the specimen into better focus

A

Fine adjustment knob

23
Q
  • Also referred to as dissecting, dissection, or inspection microscopes
  • Refer to as a low-power microscope
  • 3D, upright and normal image
A

Stereo microscope

24
Q
  • uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination
  • having a high resolution of images
  • magnify objects in nanometres
  • Ernst Ruska
A

Electron Microscope

25
* used to view thin specimens through which electrons can pass generating a projection image * analogous to compound (light) microscope * to image the interior of cells, structure of protein molecules, the organization of molecules in viruses and cytoskeletal filaments, and the arrangement of protein molecules in cell membranes
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)
26
* analog to stereo light microscope * provides detailed images of the surfaces of cells and whole organisms * used for particle counting and size determination, and for process control. * because the image is formed by scanning a focused electron beam onto the surface of the specimen in a raster pattern
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
27
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.
Phase Contrast
28
* uses a laser light to scan samples that have been dyed * with the aid of a dichromatic mirror * can create 3-D images; by assembling multiple scans * commonly used in cell biology and medical applications
Confocal Microscope
29
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
Polarizing
30
used for identification, inspection, and analysis of different **metals and alloys**
Metallurgical
31
* combination of a microscope and a digital camera * can use a CCD or CMOS chip * user can display, save, and edit images
Digital
32
use new technology for a miniature camera and illuminator in one unit
Handheld Digital Microscopes
33
how magnification is determined?
by multiplying the power of the eyepiece by the power of the objective lens being used
34
* the diameter of the circle of light that you see when looking into a microscope * is measured in millimeters * the lowest powers have the ____ * increase power, have the _____
field of view widest field of view smallest field of view
