When using a microscope, the initial focusing of any slide is done under either the 4x or 10x objective. Once you have your subject in focus, you may make further adjustments.

Used for precise focusing once initial focusing has been done?

Manual focus is used for precise focusing once initial focusing has been done. This allows the photographer to fine-tune the focus point manually for greater accuracy.


Thin clear rectangular pieces of glass upon which specimens are mounted before being viewed under a microscope?

The piece of glass used to observe specimens under a microscope is called a slide. Sometimes a thin piece of glass is used to cover the specimen. This is called a coverslip. Coverslips and slides can be made of glass, quartz or plastic, as long as these items are totally transparent and do not introduce any distortion. Sometimes the material may be tinted in order to add contrast, although this is usually done with dye.


What would happen if no heat fixing were done?

If no heat fixing was done to a slide with a specimen on it, it would be rinsed off with the gram staining procedure. Heat fixing the specimen does kill specimen but it also locks it in place.


What is the preparation of smears and simple staining?

smear is the putting and fixing of staining sample on glass slide which is done by first putting the a drop of water on slide and then inoculation is put over it which is then spread slowly in round form by inoculating loop and dry it by very light heat to fix it.Simple staining is the process in which a dye knwon as methylene blue is spread over smear to colour the microbe whcih can be then washed by 70% alcohol so that extra dye can be removed and then the sample is ready to observe under microscope


What is gram staining?

Gram Staining is a way to separate one large groups of bacteria into two. Crystal violet is used to dye the cells, those that retain the color are grouped as Gram-positive, and those that do not retain the color are grouped as Gram-negative. Many of the Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic, making this process useful for detecting infections. A link is provided to permit a quick trip to the Wikipedia article on this topic.

What part of the microscope is used for precise focusing once initial focusing has been done?

The fine focus knob is used for precise focusing once the initial focusing has been done on a microscope. It allows for small adjustments to be made to bring the specimen into clear view by moving the stage up and down in very fine increments.


Why should preliminary focusing always be done upwards?

When focusing the microscope downward, you take the chance of damaging the expensive objective lens by crushing the slide trying to get it.


Should the course adjustment knob be used for focusing with all three objectives?

Yes, but only to do the most basic focusing. Keep in mind that you can break your slide if you move too close with the coarse adjustment knob and any focusing close to the slide should be done with the fine adjustment knobs. (taught HS Chemistry). Hope that helps!

How can you find the initial velocity form the work done on a system?

To find the initial velocity from the work done on a system, you can use the work-energy principle. The work done on the system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system. By equating the work done to the change in kinetic energy and solving for the initial velocity, you can find the initial velocity of the system.

The presentation will cover the topic of climate change, focusing on its causes, impacts, and potential solutions. Key questions that will be addressed include: What is causing climate change? How is it affecting the planet and human populations? What can be done to mitigate its effects? The presentation will conclude with a thank you slide.
