Q

• Consist of 2 microscope mounted in one body
• Each ocular can be adjusted
• Low magnification
• 3D perspective

Q

• Electron illuminated
• Image is seen in 3D, picture appears in black and white
• Has high magnification and resolution
• Specimen is coated in gold and the electron bounces off to
give you an exterior view of the specimen
• Uses focus beam of high energy electrons to generate variety of signals at a solid specimen, 20-30,000 times
• Resolution: 50-100 nanometers

A

Q

• Electron illuminated
• Gives 2D view
• Has high magnification and high resolution
• Powerful tool for material science
• High energy beam of electrons pass through a thin sample
and can observe features of sample object. If you need internal details of samples use this

Q

or revolving Tourette. A rotary head attached to the base of the body tube and holds the objective. Facilitates shifting of objective

A

Revolving nosepiece

17
Q

used to adjust the objective when focusing which when turned clockwise or counter- clockwise, lowers or raises the body tube

A

Adjustment knob

18
Q

these are upper, lower knob for faster movement of the body tube when focusing the low power objective

A

Coarse adjustment knob

19
Q

these are lower, smaller knob used for final focusing under high power objective and in viewing at different level

A

Fine adjustment knob

20
Q

lowers or raising the intensity of light. Lenses used to collect and focus the light from the illuminator to the specimen. The higher the condenser, the more image clarity

A

Abbe condenser

21
Q

plate that regulates the amount of light that enters the condenser. Under the stage of the microscope

A

Iris diaphragm

22
Q

usually 2 faced where one surface in plane (for very bright source of light) and the other is concave (for low intensity of light). Used to reflect light through the objective, lens and into the eyes

A

Mirror

23
Q

the detachable tube on top of the draw tube. May be provided with a pointer which is used to point a part of the specimen. This is the part used to look through the microscope and can be found at the top. Standard magnification is 10x

A

Eyepiece or ocular

24
Q

shortest cylinder with the widest opening. Has the lowest magnification. Used to observe wider field of object

A

Scanner

25
Q

magnification of 10x. has a smaller lens opening compared to the scanner. Used in observing the general outline of the object under study and locate various part of the specimen

A

Low power objective

26
Q

longer tube with smaller lens opening compared to LPO. Has a magnification of 45x

A

High power objective

27
Q

the longest tube with the smallest lens opening and has a magnification varying from 90-100x

A

Oil immersion objective
