What is the best way to look at fish and chicken skin cells under a microscope?
The best way to look at fish or chicken cells would be to obtain a very thin slice of tissue and mount it on a slide. This can be viewed using an inverted microscope found in most tissue culture laboratories. A simpler alternative to prepare the sample would be to take a small piece of tissue and grind it in between two glass slides. This can be done with gloved hands and regular microscopic slides. The flattened tissue can be placed under an inverted microscope and the cells can be viewed at either 40X or 100X magnification
A Microscope with a single lens is a microscope or magnifying glass?
Magnifying glass is thing which we hold in our hand to magnify a certain thing and we can adjust its magnification with our hand. But the simple microscope which has the same property (or better principle) of a magnifying glass, is fixed to a scale for adjusting through a knob. If you have ever seen a travelling microscope, you would have seen a small lens attached to the vernier scale. this is not a magnifying glass but a simple microscope with a specific/fixed magnification of the scale for eyes.
