1. What type of microscope would be used in the laboratory to observe very small objects or organisms on a slide? Please give reasoning behind the answer. Which microscope would be useful when studying the internal structure of a minute specimen? (2 points) An Electron microscope‚ because they have high levels of magnification and because they can magnify the tiny details of the specimen with great clarity 2. List two jobs where microscopes are used. Describe in what capacity. (2 points)

Using a Compound Light Microscope Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to 1. Learn the parts of a compound light microscope. 2. The functions of those parts. 3. Proper use and care of the microscope. 4. Learn the technique of preparing wet-mount slides. Materials: * Compound light microscope * Soft cloth * Microscope slide * Cover slip * Dropper * Scissors * Newspaper Procedures: Part A. Care of the Compound Light Microscope. Step 1: Always carry

experiment is to learn how to use a microscope while viewing various types of bacteria cultures. Prepared slides are used to view bacterial cultures under a microscope that would normally be invisible to the naked eye. Bacterial shapes and arrangements or morphology are observed in prepared slides and fresh yogurt culture. Purpose: The experiment is meant to determine the shapes of bacteria under different magnifications when using a microscope; 10X‚ 40X‚ and 100X. A microscope must be used to see and study

Light microscopes have a low resolution‚ therefore if the magnification

Unit II Test Review Chapter 4 BB Notes Cells Under the Microscope Cells are microscopic in size. Although a light microscope allows you to see cells‚ it cannot make out the detail that an electron microscope can. The overall size of a cell is regulated by the surface-area-to-volume ratio. 4.2 The Plasma Membrane The plasma membrane of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes is a phospholipid bilayer. The phospholipid bilayer regulates the passage of molecules and ions into and out of the cell. The

Page 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of lab 1 was to learn about general bacteria’s and the use of a compound microscope. The microscope contains biconvex lenses‚ bi- meaning two. The basic frame of the micro scope consists of a base‚ a stage to hold the slide‚ an arm for easy carrying‚ and a body tube for transmitting the magnified image. The light source is in the base. One can focus on the image of an object by moving the lens closer to the slide or the stage closer to the objective lens‚ using

The microscope has been one of the greatest inventions in the history of science and has had the most impact on the course of science. Ever since the first microscope was invented in 1590‚ they have improved our knowledge in basic biology and biomedical research‚ as well as many other things‚ all of which are important. The smallest object a human can see with the naked eye is 0.2 mm‚ for example‚ algae cells. The light microscope‚ however‚ allows us to see things almost 1000 times smaller that what

is used for carrying the microscope. 2. Diaphragm - Controls the amount of light passing through the opening of the stage and into the microscope. 3. Stage - Supports the slide being used. You place the slide on it. 4. Mirror or Light - Reflects or shines light upward through the diaphragm to illuminate the specimen. 5. Nosepiece - Holds the different objective lenses; allows the lenses to rotate for viewing. 6. Base - Supports the microscope. One hand is placed under
