LAB 2 Flashcards
Used to observe minute organisms
MICROSCOPE
Functions of Microscopes in Microbiology
- Identify the features of the microorganisms
- Characterize microorganisms
- Determine the Biology of Microorganisms
has 2 lenses and uses visible light
COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
Objectives of the compound Microscope
SCANNER - 4X
LPO - 10X
HPO - 40X
OIL IMMERSION OBJECTIVE - 100X
Magnification of ocular lenses
5x AND 10x
Formula for calculating the total magnification
ocular x objectives
STAINED AND UNSTAINED SLIDES
COMPOUND AND ELECTRON MICROSCOPE
Illuminates a dark background; has a special type of condenser that scatters light
DARK FIELD MICROSCOPE
Uses beam of light/electrons; Provides a high resolution of biological and non-biological samples
ELECTRON MICROSCOPE
uses UV light; specific fluorescent dye; stained
FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPE
Observing live organisms in their natural state; unstained and has a special condenser
PHASE CONTRAST MICROSCOPE
Illuminating parts
Iris Diaphragm
Condenser
Illuminator
Uses coarse adjustment (maximized movement)
LPO and scanning
Uses Fine adjustment (minimized movement)
HPO and Oil Immersion Objective
distance of the objective to the stage
Working distance
TRUE OR FALSE
The relationship between magnification and the working distance is inversely proportional
TRUE
