microscope should be __ w/c image should remain in focus even objectives are changed
parfocal
has visible light passes through specimen and has glass lenses and focus light ray
light microscope
to effectively visualize cells through light microscopy at least ___ of specimen are required
10 raised 5 cells per milliliter
unit for the size of bacteria
micrometer
within eyepiece lens of light microscope
ocular micrometer
measure of relative velocity
refractive index
most common light microscope
brightfield microscope- produces dark image despite of the brighter bg
magnification lens of brightfield M
ocular (eyepiece) = 10x
objectives: low power = 10x
high power= 40x
oil immersion=100x
enhance resolution of microscope
cedar wood oil
fill space between objective lens and glass slides
cedar wood oil
prevent light rays
cedar wood oil
resolution is determined by
numerical aperture and wavelength of light
It permits a detailed examination of internalstructures in livingorganisms.
phase contrast microscope

phase contrast microscope
usedtoidentify medicallysignificantfungigrownin a culture.
phase contrast microscope
Staining is not includedin this type of microscopy, hence, it canbe used to examine unstained living cells.
phase contrast microscope
It has the same magnification as the dark-field microscope.
phase contrast microscope
involves the excitation of fluorochromes using light.
fluoroscence microscope
fluoroscence microscope magnification and designed to observe
10x to 400x
chlamydia
legionella
mycobacteria
fungi
examples of fluorochrome dye
auramine and rhodamine
uses a dark field condenser that blocks light that will enter the objective directly.
It directs the lightto hit the specimen at an oblique anglewhich makes all other light that passes through the specimen miss the objective, thus, creating a “dark field” while
the organisms appear extremely bright.
dark field microscope
It examines unstained microorganisms suspended in liquid against a dark background. and utilized for ___
dark field microscope
spirochetes (treponema pallidum)
detects living microorganisms that are invisible under ordinary light.
darkfield microscope
utilizes electrons instead of light to visualize small objects.
It has electromagnetic fields insteadof lenses to form a n image on a fluorescent screen.
electron microscope
