What are the precautions of a compound microscope?
Don't crush the slide with the objective lens.
What should be done whenever you are finished with a microscope?
remove the slide,return the low-power objective, use lens paper to clean the stage of microscope and the lenses
What refers to the type op microscope leeuwenhoek created with one lens?
Refers to the type of microscope Leeuwenhoek created with one single lens. Small glass or plastic piece that is used to cover a water drop on a slide is a coverslip.
Briefly describe the steps for observing a slide at low power under the compound light microscope?
Place slide on stage and stabilize w/clipsCenter slide on stageLowest-power objective lens is in placeDecrease between stage and tip of objective lensFocus with coarse and fine knobs
What should you clean the lens on the microscope with?
I'd start with a microfiber cloth. If you must use a cleaning compound I would use lens cleaner. If the lens is large enough and you will have to do this regularly you might consider a thing called a lens-pen.
What is the upper lens in a microscope called?
The upper lens in a microscope is called the eyepiece or ocular lens. It is the lens through which the viewer looks to observe the magnified specimen on the microscope slide.
What is the part of the microscope which you put under the slide?
The part of the microscope that you put under the slide is called the objective lens. This lens is responsible for magnifying the specimen on the slide for viewing.
What is the name of the lens closest to your eye in a microscope?
It's called an "OCULAR" according to a microscope supplier site.
What is the flat surface of a microscope that holds the slide for viewing called?
The flat surface of a microscope that holds the slide for viewing is called the stage. It is where the specimen slide is placed for examination under the microscope's lens.
What is the lens closest to the lens microscope?
The objective lens
What is the name of the part which holds the slide in place on a microscope?
The part that holds the slide in place on a microscope is called the stage. The stage is where you place your sample slide for viewing under the lens of the microscope.
What is the lens that is closest to the eye in a light microscope?
On a microscope with the usual 3-lens turret it is usual to use the objective lens with the lowest magnification to first examine your specimen. This gives a wider overall view of the subject, and will allow you to choose the particular detail that best suits your study. You may then move on to a higher magnification, if necessary, to study finer detail. If you started with the highest magnification, your fine focus will be uncertain, and you risk the front of the objective lens coming into contact with the sample slide. This could damage your specimen, and may damage the front of the lens.
Which objective focuses closest to the slide when it is in focus?
The objective lens that focuses closest to the slide is 100x, it has the longest lens so the highest power. Be careful not to crack the slide and make sure you use oil if it is an oil immersion lens.
What is the part of the microscope on which you put the slide?
The part of the microscope is called the stage. It is located under the objective lens and holds the stage clips.
What lens of a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined?
The 'object lens' in a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined.
What lens of the compound microscope is closest to the object being examined?
The 'object lens' in a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined.
What is the platform on which you place the slide on a microscope called?
The platform on which you place the slide on a microscope is called the stage. It is where the slide is positioned for viewing and can be moved horizontally and vertically to adjust the position of the specimen under the objective lens.
