Should you aim the mirror of a microscope at the sun to make sure the specimen is well lit?
No
What way should the mirror of a microscope face?
towards sun light
Which mirror is used in solar cooker?
a plane mirror is used in solar cookers so that the heat reflected by the mirror to the cooker should be same as the light(heat) given out by sun. hope dat helped
What advice would you give someone about how to collect light to shine into a microscope?
light is collected by a mirror at the base of the microscope. The mirror is held in special joints that allow it to move in any direction. The light comes from a lamp or from a sunless sky. It must never be collected directly from the sun as this can cause sever eye damage and blindness. Some microscopes have a built-in lamp instead of a mirror. The light either shines directly through a hole in the stage onto the specimen or it passes through a hole in a diaphragm.
Why should you not shine a microscope mirror towards the sun?
1.The sun radiates a range of electromagnetic waves, for example visible light and ultraviolet light. photo reactive chemicals under the intense magnification of a microscope could degrade the material you are observing.(photo-reactivity) 2. it would most likely be the risk of damaging the retina from the light being reflected from the slide.(going blind)
Should you aim the mirror of a microscope at the sun to make sure the specimen is well lit?
No
Do you aim the mirror of a microscope at the sun to light up a specimen?
No you don't aim the mirror directly at the sun because the mirror will reflect the sunlight into your eye
What way should the mirror of a microscope face?
towards sun light
How is the field of view illuminated?
The field of view is illuminated by either a mirror or a light bulb under the microscope. The mirror has to be used with an outside light source such as the sun, or lamp.
How do you set up a microscope?
To set up a microscope follow these steps:Hold the microscope by its base.Place it near a light source. (Not directly in the sun.)Adjust the mirror until light is reflected up the microscpe. (Check this by looking done the microscope.)Turn the objective lens to its lowest magnification.
What is the use of mirror to microscope?
A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror for illumination. If your microscope has a mirror, then you need sunlight or some other light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.The mirror is used to focus light up through the hole in the microscope's stage, or slide platform. The slides will contain a thin slice of material through which the light can shine, to reveal the internal structure of the sample.=========================================Mirrors on the exterior of microscopes are there to reflect ambient light (especially sunlight) under the slide being viewed to illuminate it. These are necessary for microscopes that don't have their own light sources.Mirrors in the interior of the microscope are there to redirect the optics and make the microscope more compact or to facilitate making the microscope binocular.
What provides light to allow you to view materials on a glass slide of a microscope?
It depends on the design of the light microscope you are using. Modern microscopes use electric bulbs, but older designs use a mirror to reflect light from the Sun.
Why would you need a mirror in the desert?
A mirror can be used, along with the sun, to signal for help should you become lost or injured.
Why should you not point the mirror directly towards the sun?
Because the sun is self concious and does not like to see it's reflection

a plane mirror is used in solar cookers so that the heat reflected by the mirror to the cooker should be same as the light(heat) given out by sun. hope dat helped
How do you use a microscope with a mirror?
That depends on which microscope you want to use. For a compound microscope, use the following steps:Place a slide with a coverslip on the microscope's stage.Turn on the light at the microscope's base, or turn the glass disc until you get light to the microscope.Choose the objective lens that you want to use to view your object.Use the coarse adjustment to focus in LOW and MEDIUM power.If you go to HIGH power, use the fine adjustment to focus.If you hold a microscope, hold the arm with one hand and hold the base with your other hand.
Why should you never point a microscopes mirror directly at the sun?
Think about it. If looking at the sun with the naked eye burns enough, why would u try it with a telescope?
