7. Which statement is correct? (1) The coarse adjustment should be used to focus on high power. (2) When using the microscope, first find the specimen on high power, center the specimen in the field of view and then focus and view the specimen on low power. (3) As we go from low to high power, the field of view gets smaller and the image gets darker. (4) The total magnification of the microscope is computed by multiplying the objective powers together
8. The technique of lowering the coverslip at an angle is used to (1) make organelles more visible (2) reduce the formation of air bubbles (3) make the specimen transparent (4) reduce the size of

    The first action taken in this lab was the recording of predictions of what will be visible in the cell under the microscope. The next action taken was viewing a spirogyra cell under a microscope at 40x magnification to focus it. Then the ocular lens was rotated to the 100x magnification and a picture was recorded of what was visible under such magnification, after the slide had been focused. After recording the picture, the ocular lens was rotated to 400x magnification and another picture was recorded of what was visible under the microscope, once again after the slide had been focused. After the 100x magnification and also the 400x magnification, and estimation was recorded of how many cells fit across the field of view. The same process was followed for the banana cell, tomato cell, paramecium cell and smooth muscle cell, with the tomato slide being stained with methylene blue solution, and the banana stained with Lugol's solution, both to highlight certain cell parts. The independent…

    The microscope itself is a device used to produce a magnified image of an object or specimen. Ever since Anton Von Leeuwenhoek's (1632-1723) invention of a device powerful enough to explore the world of microbes, an explosion of interest has been enthused in the scientific possibilities of microscopes. The fascination of the microscopic world that opened up in biology inspired rapid progress both in microscope design and, equally more importantly, in preparing material for examination - both of which played a vital role in shaping the microscopes of today.…

    The main part of the activity is identifying the microscope’s calibration. We will be able to perform such by first determining the ocular micrometer constant from the stage micrometer and ocular micrometer. By determining the ocular micrometer constant, the objective lens constant can be known from the product of the ocular micrometer constant and the eyepiece magnification. The magnification of the illustration can be derived using the monocot root slide. Finally, when these constants are obtained, the magnification of the drawing is obtained.…

    In this lab we observed the parts of the light microscopy, we identified each part and learned its functions , we also examined a few specimens under different magnifications using different objective lenses, for each specimen we started using the scanning objective then the low-power objective ending with the high-power objective in order to get higher magnification. We viewed the samples and made drawings of them…

    To able to obtain the exact measurement of a specimen, the ocular micrometer should be calibrated first. By doing so, the calibration constant (CC) is obtained. To get the calibration constant, a stage micrometer, an ocular micrometer and a microscope is used. The ocular micrometer was placed inside the ocular lens of the microscope and the stage micrometer on the stage. The field was adjusted so that a line in the ocular micrometer is superimposing a line in the stage micrometer. Once this was set, the number of divisions in both micrometers from the first superimposing lines…

    In order to ascertain the total magnification when viewing an image with a compound light microscope, take the power of the objective lens which is at 4x , 10x or 40x and multiply it by the power of the eyepiece which is typically 10x. Magnification is the ability to view an object as larger. A good image is obtained when the amount of specimen detail is also increased. Magnification alone will not achieve this.…
