midterm 2 Flashcards
Condenser
focuses light that passes through stage
Field of View
thickness of element in focus
Depth of field
distance between closest and farthest objects that are in focus
Inter pupillary distance
distance between eyepieces
Letter e under micro….
upside down and flipped (180 degrees)
HPD = (LPD x LPM) / HPM
HP - high
LP low
D - diameter of FOV
M = magnification
The LARGER the magnification the….
SMALLER the field of view
inverse relationship
Resolution
smallest distance between two points that can be seen as two separate entities
d = 0.61 wvlength / N.A
d = resolution N.A = n x sin(a) numerical aperture
Osmosis
high to low concentration with SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE membrane
Solvent
dissolving agent
Solute
dissolved substance
Tonicity
non penetrating solutes !! relative concentration of solutions inside and outside cell, determines direction of water flow
Hypertonic
solution with HIGHER SOLUTE concentration
Hypotonic
LOWER SOLUTE concentration
