What is a working distance of a microscope?
the distance between the specimen and the objective lens
How does the working distance affect the size of objects that can be viewed under a stereo microscope?
As you increase the magnification, you decrease the working distance.
Does the working distance increase or decrease as one moves to higher magnification with the microscope?
decreases
How does working distance on a microscope change when you go from low to high power?
It decreases.
Which microscope has a potentially large working distance?
stereoscopic microscope is the most frequently used and versatile microscope found in a crime lab. Its wide field of view and great depth of focus make it ideal for locating trace evidence that may be found at the crime scene. Furthermore its potentially large working distance makes it quite applicable for the microscope examination of big bulky objects.
Does depth of field needed increase or decrease as one moves to higher magnifications with the microscope?
Do the following factors increase or decrease as one moves to higher magnifications with the microscope? Resolution, working distance, amount of light needed, and depth of field
Why shouldnt the microscope be focused by moving the objectives and the slide closer together?
A microscope should not be focused by moving the objectives and the slide closer together because it will affect the working distance. It is the optimal distance between objective lens and the upper surface of the slide.
What is the construction of simple microscope?
construction and working of simple microscope
What was Leeuwenhoek's first job prior to working on the microscope?
Antony Leeuwenhoek's job prior to working on the microscope was being a shopkeeper.
Would a compound light microscope and dissecting microscope be used in the same lab situation?
Yes, it could. If one is working in a lab for the health department for example, both would be useful. One might have a sample and would use the low magnifying dissecting scope to find something of interest and then the compound 'scope for more detail of the it.
What type of microscope provides the greatest resolution?
Depth of field in a microscope refers to the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that produce a distinct image of a specimen. It is usually very short and is measured in microns.
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
