1.The sun radiates a range of electromagnetic waves, for example visible light and ultraviolet light. photo reactive chemicals under the intense magnification of a microscope could degrade the material you are observing.(photo-reactivity) 2. it would most likely be the risk of damaging the retina from the light being reflected from the slide.(going blind)

What is the function of mirror in microscope?

A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror for illumination. If your microscope has a mirror, then you need sunlight or some other light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.The mirror is used to focus light up through the hole in the microscope's stage, or slide platform. The slides will contain a thin slice of material through which the light can shine, to reveal the internal structure of the sample.


What advice would you give to someone to collect light to shine into the microscope?

You should say him/her not to directly take sunlight for the microscope to shine because it will damage your eyes

What is the use of mirror to microscope?

A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror for illumination. If your microscope has a mirror, then you need sunlight or some other light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.The mirror is used to focus light up through the hole in the microscope's stage, or slide platform. The slides will contain a thin slice of material through which the light can shine, to reveal the internal structure of the sample.=========================================Mirrors on the exterior of microscopes are there to reflect ambient light (especially sunlight) under the slide being viewed to illuminate it. These are necessary for microscopes that don't have their own light sources.Mirrors in the interior of the microscope are there to redirect the optics and make the microscope more compact or to facilitate making the microscope binocular.


When you shine a flashlight at a mirror does it come back at you?

Yes, it does.


What happens when you shine a laser through a microscope?

It corrupts the lens


What happens when you shine a light ray onto a mirror?

it reflects


Can urethane paint be sanded and buffed to a mirror shine?

No, what you see is what you get.


When you shine a flashlight at a mirror the ray of light that shines back at you is the ray of incidence?

This is FALSE. The incident wave "happens" when you shine the light AT the mirror. THe light that comes back is called the reflected wave.


What advice would you give someone about how to collect light to shine into a microscope?

light is collected by a mirror at the base of the microscope. The mirror is held in special joints that allow it to move in any direction. The light comes from a lamp or from a sunless sky. It must never be collected directly from the sun as this can cause sever eye damage and blindness. Some microscopes have a built-in lamp instead of a mirror. The light either shines directly through a hole in the stage onto the specimen or it passes through a hole in a diaphragm.


If you shine a flashlight at a mirror what does it prove?

When you shine a flashlight at a mirror it proves that you are able to turn the flashlight on. The reflection of that light can be used to demonstrate some basic principles of optics, such as that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. It proves that the flashlight is in working order, that you are able to direct the light toward the mirror, that the light is reflected by the material at the back of the mirror, that the mirror itself is opaque, and that you have access to a mirror and a flashlight.
