A

The bottom part of the microscope. Provides a sturdy flat surface to support and steady the miscroscope.

130
Q

What is the substage light on a microscope?

A

Located in the base. The light from the lamp passes directly upward through the microscope

131
Q

What is the light control on a microscope?

A

Located on the base or arm. This dial allows you to adjust the intensity of the light passing through the specimen.

132
Q

What is the stage of the microscope?

A

The platform that the slide rests on while being viewed. The stage has a hole in it to allow light to pass through the stage and through the specimen.

133
Q

Mechanical stage

A

Holds the slide in position for viewing and has two adjustable knobs that control the precise movement of the slide.

134
Q

What is a condenser on a microscope?

A

Small nonmagnifying lens located beneath the stage that concentrates the light on the specimen. The condenser may have a knob that raises and lowers the condenser to vary the light deliver. Generally, the best position is close to the inferior surface of the stage.

135
Q

What is the iris diaphragm leverl on a microscope?

A

The iris diaphragm is a shitter within the condenser that can be controlled by a lever to adjust the amount of light passing through the condenser. The lever can be moved to close the diaphragm and improve contrast. If your field of view is too dark, you can open the diaphragm to let in more light.

136
Q

What is the coarse adjustment knob on a microscope?

A

This knob allows you to make large adjustments to the height of the stage to initially focus your specimen

137
Q

What is the fine adjustment knob?

A

This knob is used for precise focusing once the initial coarse focusing has been completed.

138
Q

What is the head of a microscope?

A

Attaches to the nosepiece to support the objective lens system. It also provides for attachement of the eyepieces which house the ocular lenses.

139
Q

What is the arm of a microscope?

A

Vertical portion of the microscope that connects the base and the head?

140
Q

What is the nosepiece of the microscope?

A

Rotating mechanism connected to the head. Generally, it carries three or four objective lenses and permits positioning of these lenses over the hole in the stage.

141
Q

What is an objective lens on a microscope?

A

These lenses are attached to the nosepiece. Usually, a compound microscope has four objective lenses: scanning (4x), low-power (10x), high-power (40x), and oil immersion (100x) lenses. Typical magnifying powers for the objectives are listed in parentheses.

142
Q

What is the ocular lens(es) of a microscope?

A

Bionocular microscopes will have two lenses located in the eyepieces at the superior end of the head. Most ocular lenses have a magnification power of 10x. Some micrscopes will have a pointer and/or reticle (micrometer), which can be positioned by rotating the ocular lens.

A

The distance between the lens and the stage that allows you to clearly see the object on the slide.

165
Q

What is the field of a microscope?

A

The amount of the object that is visible on the slide. It decreases with an increase of power.

166
Q

A

The ability to discriminate two close objects as separate.

Determined byt he amount and physical properties of the visible light that enters the microscope.

In general, the more light that enters, the greater the resolution.

What does a ribosome do in a cell?

A

Tiny spherical bodies composed of RNA and protein; floating free or attached to a membranous structure (the rough ER) in the cytoplasm. Actual sites of protein synthesis.

Q

What is the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of a cell?

A

Membranous system of tubules that extends throughout the cytoplasm; two varieties: rough and smooth. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes; tubules of the rough ER provide an area for storage and transport of the proteins made on the ribosomes to other cell areas. Smooth ER, which has no function in protein synthesis, is a site of steroid and lipid synthesis, lipid metabolism, and drug detoxification.

Q

What is the Golgi apparatus of the cell?

A

Stack of flattened sacs with bulbous ends and associated small vesicles; found close to the nucleus. Plays a role in packaging proteins or other substances for export from the cell or incorporation into the plasma membrane and in packaging lysosomal enzymes

171
Q

What are the lysosomes of the cell?

A

Various-sized membranous sacs containing digestive enzymes including acid hydrolases; function to digest worn-out cell organelles and foreign substances that enters the cell. Have the capacity of total cell destruction if ruptured and are for this reason referred ti as “suicide sacs”

172
Q

What are the peroxisomes of the cell?

A

Small lysosome-like membranous sacs containing oxidase enzymes that detoxify alcohol, free radicals, and other harmful chemicals. They are particularly abundant in liver and kidney cells.

173
Q

What is the mitochondia of the cell?

A

Generally rod-shaped bodies with a double-membrane wall; inner membrane is shaped into folds, or cristae; contain enzymes that oxidize foodstuffs to produce cellular energy (ATP); often referred to as “powerhouses of the cell”

174
Q

What are the centrioles of the cell?

A

Paired, cylindrical bodies that lie at right angles to each other, close to the nucleus. Internally, each centriole is composed of nine triplets of microtubules. As part of the centrosome, they direct the formation of the mitotic spindle during cell division; form the bases of cilia and flagella and in that role are called basal bodies.

175
Q

What are the cytoskeletal elements (microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules) of the cell?

A

Form an internal scaffolding called the cytoskeleton. Provide cellular support; function in intracellular transport. Microfilaments are formed largely of actin, a contractile protein, and thus are important in cell mobility, particularly in muscle cells. Intermediate filaments are stable elements composed of a variety of proteins and resist mechanical forces acting on cells. Microtubulues form the internal structure of the centrioles and help determine cell shape.
