Best Answer

The amount of light that is directed from the bottom of an optical microscope through a specimen can be increased by using a stronger bulb or light source. A potentiometer can be used to dim or increase the strength of the light source.

It regulates the amount of light that passes through a specimen.


Why do you cut a very thin slice of specimen to look under light microscope?

The light is reflected upwards, and passes through the specimen. It passes through easier (clearer) if the specimen is not too thick.

What is transmission electron microscopes?

A transmission electron microscope (TEM) is a microscope in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultra-thin specimen, interacting with the specimen as it passes through it.

What is the iris diaphragm function on a compound light microscope?

the iris diaphragm controls the amount of light that passes through the stage and, consequently, through the specimen. Reducing the iris diaphragm aperture increases contrast for an image focused under high power by reducing the amount of light that both fills the objective lens and deracts around specimen edges. Opening the iris diaphragm under high magnification increases "flare", the appearance of light "washing out" an object. By decreasing the flow of light through the specimen, the iris diaphragm limits light defraction and saturation.
