it is used to move the stage and the microscope slide
stage adjustment knobs
36
this is used to adjust the amount of light to improve the contrast
iris diaphragm
37
it is used to regulate the amount of light passed on to the object that is being viewed
iris diaphragm
38
it is used to focus the light on to the object thatā€™s being viewed
condenser
39
it contains glass lens or lens system which collects the light coming from the illuminator as it concentrate the light into a light cone onto the specimen
condenser
40
define condenser
key terms: - glass lens or lens system - concentrates the light - light cone
41
it controls the amount of light emitted from the illuminator

49
a type of microscope were the object or the specimen is observed against a bright background
brightfield microscope
50
it is typically used in the clinical laboratory where the specimen is viewed against a bright backgroud
brightfield microscope
51
a type of microscope where instead of a typical condenser, it uses a darkfield condenser
dark-field or dark ground microscope

65
what is the use electron beam in electron microscopes
source of illumination
66
it is used to focus the electron beam in an electron microscope
magnet
67
what are the two types of electron microscope?
- transmission electron microscope (TEM) - scanning electron microscope (SEM)
68
this type of microscope has higher resolving power than a compound light microscope
electron microscope
69
TRUE OR FALSE: the wavelength of an electron traveling in a vacuum is greater than the wavelength of a visible light
FALSE; the wavelength of an electron that is traveling in vacuum is much shorter than that of a visible light
70
TRUE OR FALSE: the specimen that is being observed in a Transmission Electron Microscope should be very thin for the electron beam to pass through it
TRUE; when using a Transmission Electron Microscope, the specimen should be very thin so that the electron beam (light source) can pass through it.
