What else can I help you with?
What does a mirror do on a compound light microscope?
A mirror on a compound light microscope reflects light from an external source, such as a lamp or sunlight, onto the specimen being observed. This helps to illuminate the specimen and improve visibility for better observation and analysis under the microscope.
What structure does light pass through after leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope?
After leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope, light passes through the specimen on the slide.
What is a Photograph of a specimen taken through a compound light microscope called?
A photograph of a specimen taken through a compound light microscope is called a photomicrograph.
What part of the microscope reflects light to the specimen?
it is the mirror located just below the stage. it then reflects the light towards the condenser and to the slide.
What is the another name for compound microscope?
The another name for a compound microscope is a light microscope, as it uses light to illuminate the specimen being observed.
What part of the compound microscope captures the light?
The objective lens captures the light from the specimen in a compound microscope. This lens gathers and magnifies the light to provide a detailed image of the specimen.
What two things can you do to create contrast when you use a compound light microscope to study a specimen?
To create contrast when using a compound light microscope, you can adjust the microscope's condenser to control the amount of light reaching the specimen. Additionally, you can use stains or dyes on the specimen to enhance contrast by highlighting specific features.
What part reflects the microscope light?
The mirror or a light source reflects the light onto the specimen placed on the stage of a microscope. The objective lens then focuses this light on the specimen, allowing for magnification and visualization.
Why is a compound microscope called a light microscope?
A compound light microscope is named for the use of more than one lens to collect and focus light, and magnify the image.
A microscope that has a tube with its lenses a stage and a light source?
It sounds like you are describing a compound light microscope. This type of microscope uses lenses in the tube to magnify the image, a stage to hold the specimen, and a light source to illuminate the specimen for viewing. It is commonly used in laboratories for observing microscopic specimens.
Why is a light microscope also called a compound microscope?
A light microscope is called a compound microscope because it uses multiple lenses (a compound of lenses) to magnify the image of a specimen. This allows for higher magnification and resolution compared to a simple microscope.
A photograph of a specimen taken through a compound light microscope is called?
Photomicrograph
