The light is necessary when you are using a microscope because if you don't have the light turned on, then the object or specimen you would like to examine won't be showing up. The light makes you have the capabiltiy to see what your object looks like under the microscope, and if your light isn't being used, then you will not see your object, probably only darkness!!! (Hope this helped)

Why can't opaque objects be observed using a light microscope?
Because if it is opaque it is blocking the light.
What provides light to allow you to view materials on a glass slide of a microscope?
It depends on the design of the light microscope you are using. Modern microscopes use electric bulbs, but older designs use a mirror to reflect light from the Sun.
Compare and contrast a compound light microscope and an electron microscope?
Light microscope: 1. Uses a beam of light that is focused using glass lenses. 2. Magnification is moderate -- not as much as electron microscope 3. Produces a color image since it uses light 4. Can look directly at the specimen with our eyes Electron microscope 1. Uses a beam of electrons that is focused using magnets. 2. Magnification can be extremely high and show details that are not possible with the light microscope 3. Produces a grey-scale image because color requires visible light 4. Image must be seen on a monitor or in a photograph because we don't see electrons.
Which object is used to focus light in a light microscope?
Adjustment knobs are used to focus light in a light microscope.
Which objective is used to focus light in a light microscope?
Adjustment knobs are used to focus light in a light microscope.
Which is the simplest the light miicroscope or the electron microscope?
light microscope is the simplest, in manufacturing and using
Can you observe the bacteria cell structures just by using light microscope Why?
Can we observe the bacteria cell structures by just using light microscope
Can the eukaryotic nucleus be seen with an light microscope?
The density of the nucleus can be seen using the light microscope, because the light microscope enlarges or makes the nucleus bigger.
Which virus can be seen by light microscope?
None can. They have to be seen using a electron microscope.
What is the difference between a optical microscope and a non- optical microscope?
light is must for optical microscope while is not necessary for nonn optical one
What can be seen under a electron microscope and not a light microscope?
An electron microscope has a much higher magnifying power and resolution than a regular light microscope. One can visualize molecules and even atoms using an electron microscope. This is not possible with a light microscope
What is the basic requirement for you to see an object using the microscope?
The basic requirement for you to see an object using the microscope is light. The amount of light will determine the visibility of the specimen.
Why ribosome is unable to be seen using a ligt microscope?
ribosomes are not seen by using a light microscope bcz of its small size
What did Robert Hooke identify using a light microscope?
you...
Is a compound light microscope necessary to study biology at the chemical level?
Yep
What kind of microscope is found in most classrooms?
Optical, though to see smaller organelles and structures in higher resolution an electron microscope may be necessary.
What came first electron microscope or light microscope?
compound light microscope - cell theory - electron microscope
