microscope Flashcards
a tool used to magnify images
simple hand lenses
a more useful tool for greater magnification
microscope
the science of investigating small objects and structures using the microscope
microscopy
a type of microscope commonly used in classroom work
compound microscope
it can magnify up to 1000 times or 2000 times
compound microscope
it can magnify more than 600 000 yimes
electron microscope
2 parts of a micrscope
optical parts
mechanical parts
these consists prinicipally of special types of glasses aligned on an optical axis for enlargement of the image of the object under study
optical parts
5 parts of optical parts
ocular or eyepiece
objectives
diaphragm
condenser
mirror
a lens found inserted in the draw tube that is use for further magnification of the image ans this is hwere you look at the specimen
ocular or eyepiece
it can magnify up to 10 times
ocular of eyepiece
these are lenses screwed to the rotating noespiece that serves to form the image of the object within the body tube at a certain magnification
objectives
4 kinds of objectives
scanner
low power objective
high power objective
oil immersion objective
can magnify the object 4 times
scanner
can magnify the object 10 times
low power objective
can magnify the object 40 times
high power objective
can magnify oobject up to 100 times
oil immersion objective
magnifies object up to 100 times and uses oil
oil immersion objective
it is adjustable and is located below the stage that regulates the amount of light passing through the central opening of the stage or aperature of the microscope
diaphragm
2 forms of diaphragm
iris diaphragm
disc diaphragm
it has a lever on the side that moved to open or close the iris forming a circular opening allowing more or less light reaching the object
iris diaphragm
a rotating disc fixed under the stage which have five or six holes of different sizes, when ortated varying amounts of light will pass through the stage opening
disc diaphragm
this is found beneath teh stage with aknob on the side that move and down to focus the intensity of the light from an illuminator onto the specimen
condenser
for non-electric microscope mirror are present that contains concave and flat surfaces to gather and dirct the light to illuminate the object
disc diaphragm
