Q

Care of the compound microscope

•7 steps

A
  1. Use the microscope assigned to your desk. Obtain the microscope and power cord from the cabinet
  2. To carry the microscope, hold the arm with one hand and the base with the other
  3. Keep your microscope clean. Use only lens paper to clean the lenses. Do not use paper towels or tissues
  4. Never take the microscope apart
  5. Do not let the cord hang below the table or become covered with books. It can accidentally be pulled from the table
  6. Place the microscope flat on the table at least 4 in. from the edge. Clear everything off the table
  7. Report any malfunctions
18
Q

Resolution

A

ability to distinguish between 2 points that are close together

19
Q

Field of view

A

The circle of light

20
Q

Depth of field

A

thickness of a specimen that can be seen in sharp focus at the same time

21
Q

Working distance

A

Space between the bottom of the objective and the specimen

22
Q

How to prepare a wetmount

•5 steps

A
  1. Obtain a clean microscope slide and cover slip
  2. Place a drop of methylene blue in the center of the slide
  3. Gently scrape the inside of your cheek with a clean toothpick
  4. Mix the cheek cells with the methylene blue on the slide
  5. Gently apply the cover slip
23
Q

Compound microscope
•what does it do
•why is it called compound

A
  • It is used to enlarge the image of the specimen

* because it requires 2 lenses for magnification

24
Q

Dissecting microscope
• 3 advantages
• 1 disadvantage

A
  1. larger objects can be viewed (animal organs, fingers)
  2. the images are 3D
  3. the working distance is large allowing for easy manipulation of the specimen
  4. low magnification
  5. low resolution
25
Q

Interphase

• 4

A
  • rapid growth
  • duplication of DNA
  • DNA in form of chromatin
  • Basic metabolic processes
26
Q

Prophase

•6

A
  • Chromatin thicken and shorten to form chromosomes
  • Chromosomes are composed of 2 chromatids joined at the centromere
  • nuclear membrane disappears
  • nucleolus disappears
  • Centrioles move to opposite poles
  • spindle fibers form
27
Q

Metaphase

A

Chromosomes line up along equator

28
Q

Anaphase

A

Chromatids separate at centromere and are pulled to opposite pole by spindle fibers

29
Q

Telophase

•5

A
  • Chromosomes movements stop
  • Chromosomes uncoil to form chromatin
  • Nuclear membrane reforms
  • Nucleolus reappears
  • Spindle fibers disappear
