Lab 2: The Metric System and Microscope Name _________________________ Date __________________________ Section 1: The Metric System The Metric System is known as the International System of Measurement. The Metric System is based on Standard-prefixes that correspond to ‘multiples of 10’. The measurements of volume (the liter)‚ mass (the gram)‚ and length (the meter) are the baseline for all metric unit conversion factors. In the United States‚ the English System is more commonly used;

air bubbles before the use of the slide. Set the microscope to its lowest power objective lens (x4) and make sure it is in line with the optical tube‚ also that the microscope light is turned on. After preparation of the slide and microscope‚ carefully place the slide onto the microscope stand. Looking from eye-level of the stand‚ lower the tube using the coarse focus know until the end of the objective lens is just about the slide (ensure you do this with care as to not break the slide).

lenses (ocular and objective). Binocular microscopes have two eyepieces while the monocular ones have one eyepiece. The ocular lens of a compound light microscope usually has a magnification of 10x (means that the specimen to be viewed is magnified 10 times). The objective lens consists of a revolving nose piece with different degrees of magnification. The objective lens with the magnification of 10x is called ‘the low power’ while the one with 40x is called ‘the high power’. Total magnification

viruses and proteins. The Italians paved the road to the invention of the microscope when they discovered how to grind lenses during the 1300’s‚ and as a result‚ created the first spectacles. The first microscope was developed in 1590 by two Dutch lens grinders and spectacle makers Hans Janssen‚ father‚ and Zacharias Janssen‚ son‚ when they put two grinded lenses inside a tube. Later in the 1700’s‚ many discoveries were made to improve the microscope. One was that lenses combining two types of glass

Describe evidence to support the cell theory. • Cell theory evidence accumulated over 600 years with advancement of technology with the microscope and lenses. • 14th century Italian monks invented magnifying glass spectacles. • 1590 first two lens/ compound microscope made by Hans and Zacharias Janssen. • 1676 Leeuwenhoek (Dutch) saw micro organisms under a microscope in a drop of pond water. • 1824 Henri Dutrochet (French) suggested that all organisms are composed of cells. • 1838 Schleiden

EXPERIMENT 7 EXPERIMENT 7 EXP 7: THE FOCAL LENGTH OF A CONVEX LENS BY GRAPHICAL METHOD EXP 7: THE FOCAL LENGTH OF A CONVEX LENS BY GRAPHICAL METHOD ABSTRACT The report is about the focal length of a convex lens using the graphical method. The aim of the report is to determine the focal length of a convex lens using the graphical method. The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light. The method that was used was experimentation

Lecturer’s name : Mr. Zikri Introduction An optical lens is made of transparent material such as glass or clear plastic. One or both surface usually has a spherical curve. There are two types of lenses‚ converging and diverging lens. A converging lens is called a convex lens. It is thicker at the centre than at the edges. A diverging lens is called a concave lens. It is thinner at the centre than at the edges. For a convex lens‚ light rays parallel and close to the principal axis are refracted

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. After calibration and computations‚ the following findings have been derived: Ocular micrometer constant 0.01 mm Objective lens calibration 1 mm Size of metaxylem 11

Other major types of microscopes are the electron microscope (both the transmission electron microscope and the scanning electron microscope) and the various types of scanning probe microscope. Microscope 1. An optical instrument‚ consisting of a lens‚ or combination of lenses‚ for making an enlarged image of an object which is too minute to be viewed by the naked eye.

images. When using a converging lens‚ it’s helpful to remember these rules of thumb. If the object is very far away‚ the image will be tiny and very close to the focal point. As the object moves towards the lens‚ the image moves out from the focal point‚ growing as it does so. The object and image are exactly the same size when the object is at 2F‚ twice the focal distance from the lens. Moving the object from 2F towards F‚ the image keeps moving out away from the lens‚ and growing‚ until it goes to
