Parts
The part of the microscope you look through.
What is the (ocular lens) eyepiece?
The purpose of a microscope.
What is to help magnify the image?
What happens when looking through the microscope when you move the slide to the right?
What is the slide appears to move to the left?
The two parts of the microscope used to calculate the total magnification.
What is the objective and eyepiece?
You multiply the magnification of both lenses together to find this.
What is Total Magnification?
The part of the microscope where you place the slide.
What is the stage?
The purpose of the stage clip?
What is holds the slide in place on the stage?
Used to drop water onto a wet slide?
What is an eyedropper or pipette?
What power do you have to be on to have the biggest field of view?
What is the low power objective?
Calculate the magnification of a compound microscope with a 10x eyepiece and a 4x objective lens.
What is 40x? (must include the x)
The first lens that should be used to locate the specimen.
What is the 4x (scanning lens)?
It provides support for the microscope.
What is the base and arm of the microscope?
What occurs when viewing objects under a microscope?
What is the objects are upside down and backward?
To prevent eye strain while observing specimens.
What is close one of your eyes when looking through the microscope lens?
Lens that should be used first to find a specimen.
What is the Lowest Power? (4x)
The adjustment that should always be used first when focusing on an image.
What is the coarse adjustment?
The part that regulates the amount of light that passes through the stage.
What is the diaphragm?
Used to prevent air bubbles from being trapped under the cover slip.
Why it is important to angle the coverslip and slowly lower it onto the slide?
If you switch from lowest power to medium power, what happens to the field of view?
What is the field of view decreases?
Specific angle used to prevent air bubbles from forming under the cover slip and distorting the image.
What is 45 degrees?
This part provides its own light source for the microscope.
What is the lamp/light source
It rotates and holds the different objective lenses.
What is the revolving nosepiece?
The proper way to handle a GLASS slide to prevent smudges or fingerprinting.
What are the very outside edges of the slide?
How do you change the magnification power of the microscope?
What is the revolving nose piece that locks a different objective in place?
The procedure used for creating a slide with water on it.
What is a wet mount?
