If the diameter of the field of view in your microscope is 2 mm under low power, and one Bacillus cell is 2 µm long, how many Bacillus cells would it take to reach all the way across this field of view? If yeast cells measure 10 µm in length, how many yeast cells would it take to reach across this same field of view?

Measure the length of Cell X using the ruler in Microsoft Word. Assuming the actual length to be 3 um, calculate the magnification. Show your complete solution. Based on Figure 1, what internal organization can be distinguished in cell X? Why? Based in Figure 1, can you see a limiting membrane? Can you deduce its presence? Why or why not? Figure 2 is an electron micrograph of the same type of bacterium as shown in Figure 1. The picture has been obtained by cutting a very thin section of the bacterial cell along its longitudinal axis. Measure the total length of the cell, and assuming the actual length to be 2.1 um, calculate the magnification. With reference with Figure 2, what are the major differences between the inclusions found in Figure 1 and the way they appear in Figure 2? What other structural features can be resolved?

A lab technologist calibrates her microscope and finds that 7 stage divisions are equal to 38 ocular divisions. The entire scale on the stage micrometer is 1 mm long and has 100 equal divisions. The technologist measures a coccus-shaped cell and determines that the cell is 4 ocular divisions in length. What is the length of this cell in µm? Show all calculations.
Using an appropriate lens and oil immersion, what would be a microscope's maximum resolution (in micrometres) that could use a wavelength of 350 nm (assuming that such a device exists)? What would be the surface-to-volume ratio for the coccus-shaped bacterium twice the size of the maximum resolution you calculated? Why is the surface-to-volume ratio an important biological factor. Explain. Show all of your calculations.

You are studying amoebas and paramecia, two different single-celled protozoans. You have at your disposal a standard white light (known as "bright-field") microscope, a fluorescence microscope, a scanning electron microscope, and a transmission electron microscope. For each of the following studies, indicate which type of microscope would be most useful. Items (6 items) (Drag and drop into the appropriate area below) Take movies of unmanipulated cells swimming or crawling in a drop of water. Categories View three- dimensional images of the outer surface of a paramecium, including cilia. bright-field Drag and drop here View cytoplasmic streaming (movement of organelles within the cytoplasm) in a paramecium. fluorescence Drag and drop here Stain and visualize chromosomes and mitotic spindles in dividing amoebae. Visualize ribosomes in the cytosol and mitochondria of amoebas. scanning electron Drag and drop here Use labeled antibodies to locate and make color images of lysosomes in both…
Carefully observe the cell morphology of the two organisms below. Then, draw the cell morphology. Cells should be drawn large enough so that you can show an accurate shape and arrangement. Your drawing should capture the relative length and width of the cells. There should be no pointy corners, no open circles, no extra “tails” and no overlapping rings. Specify cell morphology and if the organism a) Escherichia coli or b) Staphylococcus aureus
Which of the following microscopes typically requires the use of vital dyes (like methylene blue) to visualize large subcellular structures in a living cell (like the nucleolus or the mitochondrion)? the scanning/tunneling electron microscope (STEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000,000x the transmission electron microscope (TEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000x the scanning electron microscope (SEM), with good resolution up to about 1,000,000x the compound light microscope, with good resolution up to about 1,500x all of the above microscopes would be equally useful in visualizing the interior of organelles

Can you please compute for the cells per mL of yeast suspension. Refer to the dataprovided below:Count in the 5 squares of the 1st chamber = 176Count in the 5 squares of the 2nd chamber = 134The dilution was 1:10.Formula: Bacterial count = (total count/Number of squares) (1/square volume)(dilution factor).
