What are the lenses for the optical component ?
Condenser
Objective
Eyepiece
what is the resolving power?
the smallest distance between two structures at which they can be seen as separate objects
What is the function of condenser ?
r focusing light on the object
to be studied
What is the function of objective lens?
enlarging and projecting the
image of the object toward the observer
what is the function of eyepiece ?
Increasing the image magnification and projecting
it onto the viewer’s eye
what is the The critical factor in obtaining a crisp, detailed image with a light microscope ?
the resolving power
what is The maximal resolving power of the
light microscope ?
0.2 μm مايكرو ميتر
How much can you enlarge the images?
1000-1500 times
WHAT VIRTUAL MICROSCOPY USED FOR?
STUDY OF BRIGHT FIELD MICROSCOPIC preparations
how we can use the fluorescent compounds wITH affinity for specific cell macromolecules ?
as fluorescent stains
what is the fluorescence ?
irradiate cellular substances with light of a proper wavelength they emit light with a longer wavelength
in fluorescence
microscopy, tissue sections are usually irradiated with ?
(UV) light and visible portion of
the spectrum.
how can we study the Unstained cells and tissue sections?
by using the modified
light microscopes LIKE Phase-Contrast
why . Cellular detail is normally difficult to see
in unstained tissues ?
because all parts of the specimen have
roughly similar optical densities
what Phase-contrast microscopy based on ?
light changes its speed when passing through cellular and extracellular structures with different refractive indices
