| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the name of the light adjuster on a microscope? and how much light is needed? | Iris Diaphragm, Minimum light is needed |
| How much adjustment is needed on a microscope. Why? | Slight adjustment, because the focal points of the lenses are coordinated |
| Does the color of cells change with the different lenses? | Yes |
| Does the size of field change? | Yes |
| Why are microscope objective lenses parfocal? | Parfocal means you can switch from one objective lens to another, only minor changes with the fine adjustment will be needed |
| Which objective lens focuses the closest? | Oil Immersion lens |
| Which controls the amount of light reaching the ocular lens? | Iris Diaphragm |
| Is your lens corrected for chromatic abberations? | Yes if achromatic is written on the objective lens |
| What are the shapes of bacteria? | Rods, Coccus, & spiral bacteria |
| How do you convert mm to um? | 1mm=1000 um |
| Name two ways in which you can enhance resolving power? | Use Light source shorter wavelength, Use an objective lens of the same magnification but larger diameter lens. Use immersion oil. |
| what are the advantages of the low power objective over the oil immersion objective for viewing fungi or algae | larger field, greater depth & allow more of organism to be seen |
| what could happen if water where accidentally put instead of oil immersion? | Light rays would refract & insufficient light would reach the ocular lens |
