Can you heat water a magnifying glass with an artificial light source instead of the sun?
Sure. But the magnifying glass can't squeeze any more heat out of your light sourcethan what the source has without the magnifying glass.The only thing the magnifying glass does is take all of the light ... and maybe heat ? ...that hits the magnifying glass and focus it down to a very small area. It has no moreheat or light to work with than what enters the glass.The most efficient way to heat water with a light bulb is to shine the bulb straight upand hang the pot over it.
Why are such a limited number of organelles observed when viewing the plant and animal cells under the microscope?
Most organelles are very small and require a magnification greater than the x1500 available using a light microscope. An electron microscope is required for greater magnification and resolution. Therefore a small area of the slide is avalible.
What are the Kinds of microscopes and their uses?
There there are many. Simple microscope, compound microscope, light microscope, scanning electron microscope, TEMicroscope, Dissection microscope, etc and most of them are used to see small cells that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Who was the inventor of dissecting microscope?
History of the Microscope (includes: Who invented the microscope)During the 1st century AD (year 100), glass had been invented and the Romans were looking through the glass and testing it. They experimented with different shapes of clear glass and one of their samples was thick in the middle and thin on the edges. They discovered that if you held one of these "lenses" over an object, the object would look larger.Someone also discovered that you can focus the rays of the sun with one of these special "glasses" and start a fire. These early lenses were called magnifiers or burning glasses. The word lens by the way, is derived from the latin word lentil, as they were named because they resembled the shape of a lentil bean (look up lens in a dictionary).These lenses were not used much until the end of the 13th century when spectacle makers were producing lenses to be worn as glasses.The early simple "microscopes" which were really only magnifying glasses had one power, usually about 6X - 10X . One thing that was very common and interesting to look at was fleas and other tiny insects. These early magnifiers were hence called "flea glasses".Sometime about the year 1590, two Dutch spectacle makers, Zaccharias Janssen and his father Hans started experimenting with these lenses. They put several lenses in a tube and made a very important discovery. The object near the end of the tube appeared to be greatly enlarged, much larger than any simple magnifying glass could achieve by itself! They had just invented the compound microscope (which is a microscope that uses two or more lenses).Galileo heard of their experiments and started experimenting on his own. He described the principles of lenses and light rays and improved both the microscope and telescope. He added a focusing device to his microscope and of course went on to explore the heavens with his telescopes.Anthony Leeuwenhoek of Holland became very interested in lenses while working with magnifying glasses in a dry goods store. He used the magnifying glass to count threads in woven cloth. He became so interested that he learned how to make lenses. By grinding and polishing, he was able to make small lenses with great curvatures. These rounder lenses produced greater magnification, and his microscopes were able to magnify up to 270X!Anthony Leeuwenhoek became more involved in science and with his new improved microscope was able to see things that no man had ever seen before. He saw bacteria, yeast, blood cells and many tiny animals swimming about in a drop of water. From his great contributions, many discoveries and research papers, Anthony Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) has since been called the "Father of Microscopy".Robert Hooke, an Englishman (who is sometimes called the "English Father of Microscopy"), also spent much of his life working with microscopes and improved their design and capabilities.Little was done to improve the microscope until the middle of the 19th century when great strides were made and quality instruments like today's microscope emerged. Companies in Germany like Zeiss and an American company founded by Charles Spencer began producing fine optical instruments.Today, there are no microscope manufacturers in the US and most of the microscopes come from Germany, Japan and China. Toy plastic microscopes should be avoided as they do not achieved the level of quality of the basic instruments with metal frames and glass lenses.Because of foreign production, quality microscopes have become affordable for all. Zaccharias Janssen, the inventor of the microscope would marvel at the quality of even the most basic microscopes found in schools today.
What light or optical microscope most commonly used is called?
A light microscope
What is the Instrument used to see small details of specimen?
I magnifying glass and if it's even smaller, you could use a microscope and maybe horoscope
To what type of microscope is magnifying hand lens most familiar?
the light microscope
What tools can be used to view objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye?
The most common tools are the hand lens (magnifying glass). Then more complex ones are used: the simple microscope, the complex microscope and the electron microscope. See the links before for more information:
What is the use of magnifying glass in the laboratory?
A magnifying glass is most often used to enhance things that are usually invisible to the naked eye. It produces a bigger image of an object.
Can fresnel lens can be found in magnifying glass?
A fresnel lens is a type of magnifying glass itself. NOT the most familiar type like sherlock holmes used. You can find fresnel lenses stuck to the back window of vans, in lighthouse lenses. any magnifying lens that has concentric ridges to achieve the magnification effect only using a thin lens.
Who created the magnifying glass?
Roger Bacon, an Englishman and a lecturer at the University of Oxford born in the early 1200s, most often receives credit for the first known use and descriptions of a magnifying glass or lens.
How do you determine the power of the microscope?
There are a number of objectives on the nose piece, usually there are three of them. You can either look at those, to see if they have the magnifying power printed on it, or you can read the instructions, if they came with your microscope. Average microscopes usually have a maximum of 200 or 400x magnifying power. Note: Microscopes have about 3 different magnifying powers. Most are 40x, 100x, and 200 to 400x.
What property of the magnifying glass lens is most responsible for allowing it to magnify the penny?
It can increase the intensity of light.

What is the use of a magnifying glass in a laboratory?
In a laboratory, a magnifying glass is most often used to enhance things that are usually invisible to the naked eye. Using a magnifying glass allows one to view cells in a sample of blood, for example.to see things closer
Will a magnifying glass light something with a lamp?
If you mean 'set fire to something' then no, there is most unlikely to be enough energy in a normal light beam even when it's focussed with a magnifying glass. It does depend on the power of the light, of course. How many watts do you think it will take
What power magnifying glass should be used to inspect chip detector?
When it comes to choosing the right power magnifying glass to inspect chip detectors there are a few key factors to consider. Its important to select a magnifying glass that provides sufficient magnification has the right shape and size to fit over the chip and is comfortable to use. Here are the most important criteria to consider when selecting a magnifying glass for chip detector inspection:\tMagnification: Select a magnifying glass with a magnification level of at least 10X in order to clearly see the chip and any defects or damage. Higher magnifications can be used for more detailed inspection.\tShape and size: The magnifying glass should be large enough to cover the chip and small enough to provide a clear view of the chips surface.\tComfort: Comfort is key when it comes to selecting a magnifying glass. Look for one with a comfortable handle and an ergonomic design.In addition to these criteria its also important to select a magnifying glass that is durable and able to withstand daily use. Make sure to look for one that is made from high-quality materials and is built to last.
