What is fine adjustment of the microscope?
You use the fine adjustment to focus in HIGH power with a compound microscpe.
What adjustment knob is used to focus with high power?
coarse
What is the definition of power of magnification?
the magnification power of a microscope
Why is it dangerous to focus using the coarse adjustment knob for on a microscope when using high power?
It can burn your eye.
Why the specimen be centered in field of view on low power before going to high power?
Because it is too hard to find a specimen on high power. Easier to find them and focus them on low power and then increase the magnification and fine-tune the focus to get a better, closer look.
How does the working distance change when you go from low power to high power magnification?
it is how you operate the microscope just adjust he course adjustment knob for focusing the fine adjustment knob
How do you increase the magnification power of a telescope?
You need to rotate the lenses round to get the best magnification then use the wheels on the side to bring it into focus. If this does not meet your requirement's then you need a better microscope.
What does it mean when a specimen is under low power magnification you can switch to high power magnification and have the specimen remain in reasonably good focus?
It means you have a good microscope.
What is the rule for the total magnification of a compound microscope?
Multiply the magnification or power of the objective lens times the power of the eyepiece and it equals the total magnification
What is fine adjustment of the microscope?
You use the fine adjustment to focus in HIGH power with a compound microscpe.
Does resolving power increase with magnification?
If magnification increases ONLY, then resolving power does not increase. However, if the magnification increased while staying in focus (upgrading resolution and magnification with objective lense), shorter wavelengths are needed to stay in focus with increased magnification to yield the same high resolution as with previous objective lense, so this case, resolving power does increase.
What adjustment knob is used to focus with high power?
coarse
Which of these is not true when changing magnification form low power to high power?
The specimen should be in clear focus
What precautions must be taken when using a microscope when it is in high power lens?
Because you are at the highest magnification, only turn the fine adjustment knob when you are using the high-powered objective lens, and not the coarse adjustment. Otherwise you risk getting your sample out of focus, and you will probably only be able to refocusby starting with the lowest power objective lens.
Which activity might lead to damage of a microscope and specimen?
using the course adjustment to focus the specimen under high power
Which part of the microscope so you focus on low power?
Course adjustment
High power on microscope?
On a the microscope I use, the ocular (eyepiece) has a magnification power of 10x. The 'low' (or 'scanning') objective lens is 4x, the 'medium' has a power of 10x, and the 'high' has a power of 40x. Multiply the ocular by the lens you're using to get your 'total magnification.' TIP: Only use the coarse adjustment knob while on 'low' power, then use the fine adjustment. Why? If you use the coarse adjustment knob on 'medium' or 'high,' there's a good chance you'll crack your slide. -BugCrunch
