What structure does light pass through after leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope?
Specimen
What is a platform of a compound light microscope that supports the slide holding the specimen?
Stage
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 a specimen viewed under the microscope to be thin?
A specimen being viewed under a microscope should be thin so that light can pass through the specimen. The thinner it is the brighter it will be. A thick specimen will block the light and all you'll get is a dark grey image. Also, more detail can be seen in a thin specimen because there will not be parts in front of each other, blocking the view.
Why must a specimen be thin in order to be viewed under the microscope?
Because light must pass through it.
What would be the magnification of a specimen viewed with a compound light microscope that has an objective power of 40x and an ocular lens power of 10x?
400x
What reflects light to the specimen on a compound microscope?
Usually a mirror.
A light microscope that makes the specimen appear light on a dark background is called a?
A darkfield microscope makes the specimen appear light on a dark background. It is an instrument used in light microscopy.
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.
