Microscope Flashcards
are instruments that are used in science laboratoriesto visualize very minute objects such as cells, and microorganisms, giving a contrasting imagethat is magnified.
Microscope
1st type of microscopes and most widely used
Light passes through 2 lenses
Can magnify up to 2000x
Compound Microscope
Used to observe VERY small objects; viruses, DNA, parts of cells
electron microscope
A type of electron microscope that can magnify up to 250,000x
Transmission Electron Microscope(TEM)
A type of electron microscope that can magnify up to 100,000x
Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM)
increase of an object’s apparent size
Maginification
The power to show finer details
Resolution
It rotates to allow use of different power objectives
Revolving Nosepiece
Controls the amount of light passing through the specimen
Diaphragm/ Condenser
The knob that moves the bodytube/stage vertically
Coarse Adjustment Knob
It is where the specimen is put
Slide
The process by which a single parent cell splits to form new cells, known as daughter cells
Cell Division
-Division of somatic cell (body cell) that results in 2 genetically identical daughter cells.
Mitosis
-The process in which the number of chromosomes in the original cell is reduced by HALF through the separation of homologous chromosomes.
Meiosis
It means 2 sets or 2N
diploid
It means 1 set or N
haploid
Where does meiosis occur?
sex cells
What is the process by which as egg and sperm unite?
Fertilization
It is a fertilized egg
Zygote
An organism in early stage of development
Embryo
homologous chromosomes exchange genes during process called__________
crossing over
How many daughter cells does mitosis produce?
