Question
Use your knowledge of field diameter to calculate the diameter of a Paramecium that takes up 1/3 of the field diameter when viewed with the 40x objective. The field diameter with a 4x objective is 5.3 mm.

Step 1: Understanding the Problem
This problem revolves around the calculation of the diameter of a Paramecium, a type of single-celled organism. The specific scenario involves viewing this Paramecium under a microscope with a 40x objective lens. We are informed that with a 4x objective lens, the field diameter is 5.3 mm.

- If the total magnification of a microscope is 700X and the ocular lens magnifies by a factor of 10x, what is the magnification of the objective lens that was used? Paragraph BIUarrow_forwardAssume you are observing the diatom pictured in Figure 1 using the 10X lens in a compound light microscope. You move to the 40X lens and then again to the 100X lens by only rotating the turret (remember that the lenses are parfocal), without making any other adjustments to the microscope. c) After making your adjustments, you notice that the midline of the diatom is in focus while the remainder is blurry. Explain, based on microscopy principles, why this has occurred Provide a description of the procedure to prepare an acidic stain of bacteria using Nigrosin as it would appear in the Methods section.arrow_forwardCalculate an estimated IC50 value .

- On the graph that relates absorbance to flavin concentration, draw a horizontal line that starts at the point on the y-axis that corresponds to the absorbance of your unknown sample and ends at the curve you drew through your data points . Next draw a vertical line that starts at the point where the horizontal line intersected the curve and ends at the x-axis. The point where this vertical line intersects the x-axis corresponds to the concentration of flavin in your unknown sample. What was the letter on the tube with your unknown sample?
