Wet mounts are not attached to the slide, it is "floating". If you use an oil immersion lens, you have to put a drop of oil on the slide cover so the light can correctly focus. The oil will cause the slide cover to stick to the end of your Oil immersion lens. When you focus the field of focus will stay the same since the slip cover is stuck to the lens. When you go to change objectives, the cover will travel with your oil immersion lense.
What else can I help you with?
When using the oil immersion lens you should raise the objective lenses for easy application of an oil droplet to the slide is this true or false?
False. When using the oil immersion lens, you should first bring the lens close to the slide without touching it, then apply a small drop of immersion oil directly onto the slide. After that, you should carefully raise the lens into the oil droplet to ensure proper immersion and optimal resolution.
What must NEVER be used when using the medium or high power objectives?
Oil immersion should never be used with medium or high power objectives. Oil is only used with oil immersion objectives to maximize resolution by reducing light refraction. Using oil with medium or high power objectives could damage the lenses and affect image quality.
What should you do before the oil immersion lens is rotated into place?
Before rotating the oil immersion lens into place, make sure that the specimen is in focus using a lower magnification objective. Ensure that the area you wish to observe is centered in the field of view and add a small drop of immersion oil to the slide.
Why should a wet-mount be used when making measurements?
A wet-mount slide should be used when making measurements to reduce distortion and improve clarity of the sample under the microscope. The immersion in liquid helps to minimize air gaps and provides a more accurate representation of the sample's characteristics. It also helps to prevent drying out of the specimen, which can alter its appearance and structure.
What Slide mount is used for viewing an Elodea leaf?
A wet mount slide is typically used to view an Elodea leaf under a microscope. This type of slide allows the leaf to remain in a hydrated state, which is important for observing its cellular structure and processes.
When using the oil immersion lens you should raise the objective lenses for easy application of an oil droplet to the slide is this true or false?
False. When using the oil immersion lens, you should first bring the lens close to the slide without touching it, then apply a small drop of immersion oil directly onto the slide. After that, you should carefully raise the lens into the oil droplet to ensure proper immersion and optimal resolution.
What objective focuses closest to slide?
The oil immersion lens @100x
What must NEVER be used when using the medium or high power objectives?
Oil immersion should never be used with medium or high power objectives. Oil is only used with oil immersion objectives to maximize resolution by reducing light refraction. Using oil with medium or high power objectives could damage the lenses and affect image quality.
What is to mount a slide?
A wet mount slide is when a solution is applied to a microscope slide with whatever subject is being studied, typically under a slip cover.
What is the platform upon which to mount the slide?
A sturdy and level surface, such as concrete or a wooden deck, is typically used as the platform to mount a slide. The surface should be able to support the weight of the slide, along with the weight of individuals using the slide. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for installation to ensure safety and stability.
What should you do before the oil immersion lens is rotated into place?
Before rotating the oil immersion lens into place, make sure that the specimen is in focus using a lower magnification objective. Ensure that the area you wish to observe is centered in the field of view and add a small drop of immersion oil to the slide.
Which of the objectives comes closest to a specimen and is most likely to break a slide if proper precautions are not taken?
The oil immersion objective comes closest to the specimen and is most likely to break a slide if proper precautions are not taken. Oil immersion objectives require the addition of immersion oil between the objective lens and the slide to improve resolution, and without the correct amount of oil or if the slide is not handled carefully, it can lead to damage or breakage of the slide.
Why you must be careful when focusing the oil-immersion objecctive?
The oil might smear and ruin the slide.
Why should a wet-mount be used when making measurements?

It also helps to prevent drying out of the specimen, which can alter its appearance and structure.
Why do you use on or slide to be examined with the oil immersion objective?
If you are using the oil immersion objective on a microscope, you must use oil to increase the resolution of the lens. These lens are used at very high magnification.
How do you remove the spare tire from a jeep?
Unscrew the lug nuts holding it onto the mount. It should slide right off.
What is the platform upon which mount the slide?
