Question
Chapter 3.L1, Problem 1WC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
- The most important features to check for when buying a microscope.
- the probable truth of a $20 microscope that claims to magnify 1,000×.
Introduction:
Microscopes are inevitable in the study of microorganisms. Magnification is the ability to make objects appear enlarged, and resolving power is the ability to show detail. The illumination source and magnifying lenses such as the objective and ocular play an important role in magnification and resolution.

Make sure to hold it with one hand under the base and one hand on the arm as shown in Figure 1. 2. Plug the microscope in and turn it on. Take a moment to look at all the parts of the microscope. Then look at your ocular lens. What is the magnification of the ocular lens (eye piece)? Figure 2 3. Fill in the chart to show the total magnification for each objective lens.

Match: Read about each microscope part. Match the description to the part on the diagram. Stage: Platform where a slide is placed. Eye piece: Lens at the top of the microscope that the user looks through. This lens most commonly magnifies a sample by 10x. Coarse focus knob: Large knob that moves the stage up and down to focus the sample. Fine focus knob: Small knob that moves the stage over a short distance to refine the focus. Objective lens: A second lens that further magnifies the sample. Microscopes usually have several objective lenses with different magnifications. Slide: A rectanqular piece of glass upon which a sample is mounted for viewing under a microscope.arrow_forward
