Why is it essential that always focus away from object when looking into microscope?
Valeriejoy08
In the end you will have to look into it, but at the start, when everything is far out of focus there is a real danger that as you try to find the focus you will grind the lower (objective) lens into the object, possibly destroying it, and damaging the lens at the same time.

What is the difference between compound microscope and dissecting microscope?
In compound microscope are usually able to magnify an object by 400 times.while dissecting microscope usually only magnify an object by 40 times or less. In compound microscope are used to view very small, relatively thin things, such as cells. In dissecting microscope are used to look at larger objects that have a greater degree of depth such as grains of pollen. In compound microscope is always made with 1 eyepiece. On the other hand dissecting microscope is always made with 2 eyepiece.
What lens of a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined?
The 'object lens' in a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined.
Which microscope has the greatest magnification transmission microscope or scanning microscope?
transmission microscopes. they can magnify an object 1 million times.
The ordinary light microscope is called a bright-field microscope because?
the object appears light on a dark background
In what situations would a compound light microscope be a better chiice then an electron microscope for studying an object?
It rather depends on how deeply you wish to view the object. An optical microscope is adequate for most studies. But, with an electron microscope, not only could you view a flea in detail, but also the minute hairs on the flea's legs
Why should a diffused light be used to see a object through a microscope?
So that you are looking at the details of the object and not the light.
Is the image reversed when you looking at an object using the stereoscopic dissecting microscope?
Henrey's world
Can you give a sentence using the word magnify?
When you use a microscope it will magnify the object you are looking at.
What is the function of a diaphrgam?
a diaphrgam is part of a microscope that controls brightness or light on the object you are looking at.
When looking through a microscope what power are you on when the object is smaller but you are able to see more detail?
high power
What do the stage clippers do in a microscope?
The stage clips hold the object you are looking at in place so it does not move around.

Why why should you always move object lens away from the slide when you're focusing a microscope?
If you move closer while looking thru the lens, there is a danger of cracking the slide, especially using coarse adjustment.
Why should you never rack downwards with the coarse focusing while you are looking down the microscope?
The object on the viewing stage is close to the lens of a microscope. Racking downward risks the lens touching the object and damaging either the object itself or the lens. Before moving the lens down, make sure you can see the lens and the object from the side of the microscope to void the two touching each other.
What is the microscope?
A microscope is an object that enlarges small objects.
Function of a eyepiece of a microscope?
The ocular lens, also known as the eyepiece lens, is the part of a compound microscope that a user looks into to see a magnified image. It is a see-through double convex lens curved to cause images to appear larger. It is an essential element to every compound microscope.
What was the first object to be seen under the microscope?
The first object to be seen under the microscope was poo.
