labs 1-5 Flashcards
total mag calculation
objective mag X ocular mag
resolution
minimum distance that 2 points can be seperated and still distinquished as separate points
numercial aperture
measure of lens ability to capture light coming from the specimen and use it to make image
resolution calculation
d= (0.5)l/NA
of average wavelength
550 nm
working distance
distance between specimen and objective lens
field of view
area you can see thru lens
parfocal
remains in focus after rotating
koehler illumination
optimizes contrast and resolving power by aligning and centering the light path
what adjustments do you have to make to get a good image or resolution
use fine focus knob
numerical aperature of each lens
10x= 0.25 40x= 0.65 100x= 1.25
what does blue light filter do
light gets balanced out cause of certain hue given
what is diopter adjustment?
allows each eye to focus seperately
ocular micrometer
one of the eyepieces
stage micrometer
has a ruler
condenser lens
light passes thru
resolving power
seperate between small or closely adjacent objects
what does immersion oil allow
light does not bend and more light is collected into lens
aperture iris diaphram
around condenser used to match with aperture of lens helps optimum depth of focus, image contrast and resolving power
closing diaphram in koehelr
contrast decreases
open diaphram in koehelr
becomes grainy resolution decreases
aseptic technique
done to protect cultures as well as work and environment
pure culture
culture free of contamination and containing organisms all from one cell
pathogen
diease producing microorganisms
