The area of the specimen seen when looking through the microscope is called?

Why is locating an object more difficult if you start with a high power on the microscope?

When using a microscope, you are magnifying the area under the lens by however many times the magnification is on your lens. On low power the area expanded by the lens is smaller than on high magnification. When on low power more is visible and there is less area to search for your given object under the microscope. I recommend finding the object on low magnification, and then switching to high once you have found it.

What the bottom part of the microscope?

1. Ocular Lens (Eyepiece) - where you look through to see the image of your specimen. Magnifies the specimen 10X actual size. 2. Body tube - the long tube that supports the eyepiece and connects it to the objectives. 3. Nosepiece - the rotating part of the microscope at the bottom of the body tube; it holds the objectives. 4. Objective Lenses - (low, medium, high). Depending on the microscope, you may have 2, 3 or more objectives attached to the nosepiece; they vary in length (the shortest is the lowest power or magnification; the longest is the highest power or magnification). 5. Arm - part of the microscope that you carry the microscope with; connects the head and base of the microscope. 6. Coarse Adjustment Knob - large, round knob on the side of the microscope used for "rough" focusing of the specimen; it may move either the stage or the upper part of the microscope. Location may vary depending on microscope - it may be on the bottom of the arm or on the top. 7. Fine Adjustment Knob - small, round knob on the side of the microscope used to fine-tune the focus of your specimen after using the coarse adjustment knob. As with the Coarse Adjustment Knob, location may vary depending on the microscope. 8. Stage - large, flat area under the objectives; it has a hole in it (see aperture) that allows light through; the specimen/slide is placed on the stage for viewing. 9. Stage Clips - clips on top of the stage which hold the slide in place. 10. Aperture - the hole in the stage that concentrates light through the specimen for better viewing. 11. Diaphragm - controls the amount of light going through the aperture; may be adjusted. 12. Light or Mirror - source of light usually found near the base of the microscope; used to direct light upward through the microscope. The light source makes the specimen easier to see.


How do microscope enlarge the image?

Light waves are bent as they pass through glass - parallel light from the object is focused on a small area (so the image is larger).

What is the microscope's field of view?

It is the area that you see when looking through the microscope. The field of view depends on the strength of magnification. The lower the power the larger the field of view.


The area of the specimen seen when looking through the microscope is the?

It depends on the particular microscope, and the magnification being used. Without these details, this question cannot be answered.


What secures the slide for viewing in the microscope?

In a traditional light microscope, the slide is secured using a mechanical stage or stage clips. The mechanical stage allows for precise positioning of the slide, while the clips hold it in place to prevent movement during observation. This ensures that the slide remains stable and the microscope can focus on the desired area of the specimen.

Why can you see less area under higher magnifaction?

Try this to show you the answer: roll up your hand into a tube and look through it. Now, step closer and closer to whatever you're looking at. You see less area because you're getting closer and closer, right? Same thing with a microscope lens.
