Which of the following statements is FALSE?   Question options:   increasing wavelength improves ones ability to view microscopic structures   increasing resolution can improve ones ability to view microscopic structures   increasing magnification can improve ones ability to view microscopic structures   all of these statements re TRUE   increasing contrast can imporove ones ability to view microscopic structures   oil immersion can increase the resolution of light microscopes

The objective lenses of the microscopes used in this course are all parfocal. What does having parfocal objective lenses mean?     Question options:     The slide has to be moved away from the objective lens (i.e., lowered) when switching between objective lenses.        None of these choices   The objective lenses have optimized light gathering capability.      Once in focus, you may switch between objective lenses with only fine focus adjustment required.

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 BIU
