What does a diaphargm on a microscope do?
It regulates the amount of light that passes through a specimen.
Which structure controls how much light passes through the specimen in microscope?
The answer to this microscope question is the stage opening.
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 structure does a light pass through after leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope?
specimen
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
What does a diaphargm on a microscope do?
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 structure on the microscope controls how much light passes through the specimen?
the diaphragm
Which structure controls how much light passes through the specimen in microscope?
The answer to this microscope question is the stage opening.
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)
Why is it important for the slide to be prepared so that light passes through it?
If your microscope is a Transmission Microscope then light has to pass through the specimen (that is how the microscope works).Other kinds of microscopes may not require this.
What structure on a microscope controls the amount of light that passes through the specimen?
The diaphram Is What Controls How Much Light Is Released.
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 used to pass light through a specimen?
microscope
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 a transmission electron microscope used for diagnosis?
The transmission electron microscope operates on the same principle as the light microscope but uses electrons instead of light. What you can see with a light microscope is limited by the wavelength of light. Transmission electron microscopes use electrons as "light source" and their much lower wavelength makes it possible to get a resolution a thousand times better than with light microscope.
What is an Abbe condenser?
An Abbe condenser is a condenser composed of two lenses which concentrates and controls the light which passes through a specimen before the light enters the objective of a microscope.
