binocular dissecting microscope studies?
larger 3d object at low magnification
Compound Microscope studies?
small thinly sliced objects under higher magnification than binoculars
What are the 2 lenses in coumpound microscope?
- ocular lense: near eyes
- objective lense: near object
How do you improve contrast in compound microscope?
stains, dyes (iodine)
how do Transmission Electron Microscope work?
use beam of electrons magnified on photographic plate using electromagnets
how are Transmission Electron Microscope objects contrasted?
thin sliced + treated with metal salts for contrast
Scanning electron microscope
gives 3d dimensions with smaller objects
What microscope part holds the eyepiece lenses that account for different eye ability?
Binocular Head
What are the 2 lenses located on binocular head of dissecting mocroscope?
eyepiece lenses
What is the large black knob located on the arm of the binocular dissecting microscope? what does it do?
Focusing knob; changes focus of both eyepieces together
What is the knob built into the binocular head of the dissecting microscope? what does it do?
Magnification changing knob; zooms in simultaneously
What lights up the object from about on the dissecting microscope?
illuminator
What are the different magnifying power on compound microscopes?
4, 10, 40, 100
What part of the compound microscope holds the nose piece and eyepiece and conducts light?
body tube
What does the 4 lense do on the compound microscope?
scanning power objective; scans the whole slide
What does the 10 lense on compound microscopes do?
low power objective; vews object in greater detail
What does the 40 lense do on the compound microscope?
What does the 100 lense do on the compound microscope?
oil immersion; used with immersion oil to see with greatest magnification
