When the lens is placed just above the specimen on a microscope, it allows for closer examination and magnification of the specimen. This positioning helps to focus light from the specimen, providing a clearer and more detailed view. Adjusting the distance between the lens and the specimen can help achieve optimal magnification and resolution.
The revolving nosepiece on a microscope is a rotating component that holds multiple objective lenses. It allows the user to easily switch between different magnification levels by rotating the nosepiece to align the desired objective lens with the specimen being observed. This feature enhances flexibility and convenience during microscopic examination.
The eyepiece in a microscope is the lens that you look through to observe the specimen on the slide. It magnifies the image created by the objective lens, which is the lens closest to the specimen. The eyepiece typically provides additional magnification to allow for detailed examination of the specimen.
The stage aperture in a microscope allows light to pass through and illuminate the specimen on the slide. It helps to focus the light on the sample, providing better visibility and clarity for microscopic observation. Controlling the aperture size can also adjust the amount of light reaching the specimen, which is important for optimizing image quality.
The three key parameters of microscopy are magnification, resolution, and contrast. Magnification refers to the ability to enlarge an image of a specimen, resolution is the ability to distinguish between two closely spaced points, and contrast pertains to the difference in light intensity between the specimen and its background. Together, these parameters determine the quality and clarity of the microscopic image.
Using a standardized Urinalysis System
The straw is merely being used to keep from contaminating the specimen. It is placed in the tube to then place it in the centrifuge. It is then spun to achieve a concentrated specimen at the bottom of the tube for microscopic examination. This is normal for almost all laboratory tested urinalysis test.
The code 88305 refers to a pathology service that involves the examination of a tissue specimen and is typically billed per specimen. The number of units billed for this code depends on the number of separate specimens examined. Each specimen that requires a separate microscopic examination can be billed as one unit of 88305. Therefore, if multiple specimens are processed, the total units billed would equal the number of individual specimens.
It is used to hold the specimen being observed in place. It keeps the microscopic lens from touching the specimen, and it keeps the specimen from being contaminated.
The specimen is described using its physical characteristics such as size, shape, color, and texture. This information helps to identify and differentiate the specimen. Using this type of material in a microscope allows for detailed examination at the microscopic level, providing insights into the specimen's structure, composition, and behavior that are not visible to the naked eye.
The small platform where the specimen is mounted for examination on a microscope is called a microscope slide. It is a thin, flat, usually rectangular piece of glass or plastic on which the specimen is placed for observation under the microscope.
