The area of the specimen seen when looking through the microscope is called?
Field
What is the function of the wide angle objective lens on a microscope?
An objective lens gathers light passing through the specimen on the microscope and projects the image into the body of the microscope. Objective lens are closest to the 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 does light pass through after leaving the condenser in a compound light microscope?
Specimen
What is an instrument that allows light to pass through the specimen and uses two lens to from an image called?
The answer you are looking for is called a dissecting or stereo microscope. These provide a lower magnification range in comparison to compound microscopes and they use two sets of lenses, the eyepiece and the objective lenses. these then provide a 3D image.
The area of the specimen seen when looking through the microscope is called?

The area of the specimen seen when looking through the microscope is the?
It depends on the particular microscope, and the magnification being used. Without these details, this question cannot be answered.
What is used to pass light through a specimen?
microscope
What is transmission electron microscopes?
A transmission electron microscope (TEM) is a microscope in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultra-thin specimen, interacting with the specimen as it passes through it.
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 the function of the wide angle objective lens on a microscope?
An objective lens gathers light passing through the specimen on the microscope and projects the image into the body of the microscope. Objective lens are closest to the specimen.
Why is the specimen prepared for a monocular microscope must be very thin?
because the specimen is always thin
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
Which structure controls how much light passes through the specimen in microscope?
The answer to this microscope question is the stage opening.
What does a diaphargm on a microscope do?
It regulates the amount of light that passes through a specimen.
What is the colour of the cell membrane in an animal cell?
Looking through a microscope, most animal cells are pretty much entirely transparent unless you dye them.
What structure on the microscope controls how much light passes through the specimen?
the diaphragm
