What type of microscope can only be used to view nonliving specimen?
The light microscope and the electron microscope refers to the type of microscope that is used to view the non- living specimen. The non-living specimen is usually placed in a slide.
Can the light microscope be used to study a live specimen?
Yes, a light microscope can be used to study organsims.
A microscope that has a tube with its lenses a stage and a light source?
compound light microscope (light passes through the specimen and produces a flat image)
What structure does light pass through after leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope?
Specimen
What is the function of the wide angle objective lens on a microscope?
An objective lens gathers light passing through the specimen on the microscope and projects the image into the body of the microscope. Objective lens are closest to the specimen.
What does the light of the microscope do?
microscope light illuminates the specimen so that you can see it
A light microscope that makes the specimen appear light on a dark background is called a?
A darkfield microscope makes the specimen appear light on a dark background. It is an instrument used in light microscopy.
Reflect light to the specimen on a microscope?
Mirror.
Why must a specimen be very thin to be viewed under a light microscope?

Which microscope is used to observe a specimen that emits light when illuminated with an ultra-violet light?
Fluorescent microscope
What is the function of a light on a microscope?
It allows you to see the specimen.
What is used to pass light through a specimen?
microscope
If your specimen is too small to be seen with a light microscope you can use an electron microscope?
True.
What are the light source of the microscope for?
to generate light, so the specimen can be examined (sends light through base, diaphragm, stage specimen, slide, objective lens, nose-piece, body, body tube, and eyepiece)
What is the purpose of the light source in a microscope?
to generate light, so the specimen can be examined
