The Microscope Flashcards
a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by naked eye
Microscope
Fluorescent microscope use?
ultraviolet radiations whose wavelengths are shorter than visible light and are not directly perceptible to the human eye
electron microscope
use electron beams instead of light and magnets instead of lenses to observe submicrosmic particles
a fixed platform with an opening in the center allows for the passage of light from an illuminating source below to the lens system above the stage
Stage
the light source is positioned at the base of the instrument
Illumination
found directly under the stage and contains two sets of lenses that collect and concentrate light passing upward from the light source into the lens systems
Abbe Condenser
above the stage and attached to the arm of the microscope
