What is the purpose of a mirror in a microscope?
The purpose of a mirror is to reflect light through the diaphragm, the specimen, the objective lens, and body tube and into your eye so you can see the image. Never use sunlight when using a microscope with a mirror, as it could damage your retinas.
What type of microscope allows light to pass through the specimen and use two lenses to form an image?
Light microscope
What type microscope allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lenses to form an image?
a compound light microscope
An instrument that allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lenses to form an image is a?
The microscope.
How do we increase the amount of light that passes through the specimen?
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.
What is the difference between ordinary microscope and electron microscope?
Magnification and resolution is in light microscope is about 500x and 0.2micro metres respectively than human eye.In e.microscope magnification is about 200,000x and resolution is 0.0005micro metres. You cannot observe live specimen through electron microscope. Lenses in light microscope are glass while e.microscope use magnetic lenses. E.microscope is relatively very larger than light microscope. You need special knowledge to handle electron microscope. You can observe through naked eye in e.microscope. A beam of electrons is sent through specimen in e.microscope.In light microscope a beam of light is sent. Electron microscope is very complex relative to light microscope.
What is used to pass light through a specimen?
microscope
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.
Why must a specimen be very thin to be viewed under a light microscope?
Light microscope works because light goes *through* your specimen. So if the specimen is too thick, then light won't shine through, and you won't see anything.
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.
Why is the specimen prepared for a monocular microscope must be very thin?
because the specimen is always thin
Which structure controls how much light passes through the specimen in microscope?
The answer to this microscope question is the stage opening.
Why must the prepared specimen for a monocular microscope be very thin?
The specimen prepared for a monocular microscope must be very thin so light can pass through it easily. The light then goes through a series of lenses that magnifies the specimen to appear bigger
The area of the specimen seen when looking through the microscope is called?
Field
What does a diaphargm on a microscope do?
It regulates the amount of light that passes through a specimen.
What can you use to observe cells going through mitosis?
use a microscope observe cells going through mitosis
What is the purpose of a mirror in a microscope?
The purpose of a mirror is to reflect light through the diaphragm, the specimen, the objective lens, and body tube and into your eye so you can see the image. Never use sunlight when using a microscope with a mirror, as it could damage your retinas.
