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
How thin must a specimen be in order to view it on a microscope slide?
Thin enough for light to pass 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 are the disadvantages of an electron microscope?
The speciman you are viewing must be in a vacuum, and be coated with a metal film, therefore the specimen can't be alive and if its a Transmission Microscope- Speciman must be extrememly thin so that the electrons can pass through them. The image is black and white.

Why must a specimen be thin in order to be viewed under the microscope?
Because light must pass through it.
Why must a specimen be thin to be viewed under the microscope and why are they sometimes stained with dyes?
To see them better

Why is it important for a specimen viewed under the microscope to be thin?
A specimen being viewed under a microscope should be thin so that light can pass through the specimen. The thinner it is the brighter it will be. A thick specimen will block the light and all you'll get is a dark grey image. Also, more detail can be seen in a thin specimen because there will not be parts in front of each other, blocking the view.
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 are specimen thin?
because the thinner it is the clearer it is too see inside
What is the name of the thin glass plate that is placed on top of a specimen in microscope?
Cover slip

Why must you use a thin specimen when viewing with a light microscope?
For a light transmission microscope, a thin sample is needed in order for the light to pass through the sample from the light source on the other side. However, you can use a dissection microscope (another type of light microscope) which illuminates the sample from above, eliminating the need for a thin sample size. As the name suggests, this is normally used in dissections, and is of low magnification.
