LAB 1 - MICROSCOPE Flashcards
lab 1
It uses glass lenses to bend and focus light rays and
create magnified images of small objects.
light microscope
It forms a dark image against a brighter background
BRIGHT FIELD MICRSOCOPE
lenses magnification starting from scanner to OIO
Scanner - 4x
LPO - 10x
HPO 40x
OIO 100 x
what is the refractive index of the cedar wood oil the glass has 1.5 refraction?
1.5
It decreases the amount of diffraction or bending
of light rays since it has the same refractive index
as glass, resolution must be at 100x
cedar wood oil
It enhances resolution and it is used to fill the space
between the objective lens and glass slide. Give the given example provided in the lab.
Cedar wood oil
It prevents light rays from dispersing and changing
wavelength after passing thru the samples
any mineral oil; lab based - cedar wood oil
a part of microscope where you Observes specimen, re-magnifies the image form by the
objective lens
Eye Piece Lenses (Ocular Lenses)
To compensate for observer’s eyesight in the left and
right eyes
Diopter Adjustment Ring
It determines the distance between the two eyes.
Interpupillary Distance Scale
A monocular or binocular tube which transmits the
image from the objective lens to ocular
Observation tube
It is used for holding the microscope
Arm
It holds the objectives
Rotating this part easily changes the magnification of
the objectives
Revolving nosepiece
Are the primary lenses that magnify the specimen
Objective lenses
Are the most important parts of the microscope which
must produce a clear image
Objective lenses
The higher the magnification number of an objective,
the greater the detail seen in specimen parts
Objective lenses
It focuses light through the specimen
Condenser
This incorporates a lens which collects illumination light
on the stage so that the objectives can perform at full
capability
Condenser
which objective magnification is used if the one you are observing is an adult form of parasite?
LPO or Scanner
It permits detailed examination of internal structures
in living organisms
phase contrast microscopy
It is used to identify medically important fungi grown
in culture.
PHASE CONTRAST MICROSCOPY
in phase contrast microscpe, The phase differences are seen through the
the microscope as different degrees of ___
brightness
do we need to stain specimen in phase contrast microscope?
no
