What are the differences between a microscope and a hand lens?

When viewing a specimen through a hand lens, you can see in slightly greater detail than your naked eye, but you may not be able to see micro organisms. With a microscope, you can see things in MUCH greater detail, and you can see micro organisms. With a hand lens, you cannot change the power of magnification, while with a microscope, you can change the power of the magnification. With a hand lens, only one lens is used to magnify an object, while a compound microscope uses two lenses (one in objective lens, one in eyepiece). With a hand lens, you can view a specimen from far away, while an objective lens has to be fairly close to a specimen in order to view it clearly. With a hand lens, you can simply move your hand forward, or backward, to focus on an object. With a microscope, a very complex mechanism is used in order to portray some sort of depth while viewing. This is adjusted by using a coarse, and a fine adjustment knob.


What is the correct microscope procedures?

Which of the following is a correct procedure for the operation of a microscope? First, put the specimen into focus using a low power lens, then switch to a lower power lens if needed.Remove and add slides while the high power lens is selected.First, put the specimen into focus using a low power lens, then switch to a higher power lens if needed.Use the fine focus knob with the low power lens and use the coarse focus knob with the high power lens


What is a cylindrically shaped attachment on the revolving nose piece of a compound light microscope near the specimen?

The objective lens magnifies the specimen, producing a real image that is then magnified by the ocular lens resulting in the final image; The total magnification can be calculated by multiplying the objective lens value by the ocular lens value

What does a fine focus do on a microscope?

This allows for small adjustments to the focus. Usually the large focus is used with smaller powers (not zoomed in as much), to locate the specimen and move it closer (or further away) from the lens. The fine focus knob is used once the specimen is almost in focus, or if you are on high power.


What is the objective lens used to locate the specimen and the first focus?

When viewing a specimen, you must always use the lower power objective lenses first. Low power lens gives the widest field of view and makes it easier to find the specimen when you look through the microscope. Finding the specimen at high power, without first centering it in the field of view at low power, is nearly impossible.


What is the use of a cover slip?

It is used to hold the specimen being observed in place. It keeps the microscopic lens from touching the specimen, and it keeps the specimen from being contaminated.


What does low power objective do?

The low power objective lens is usually a 10x lens and it is used to orient the specimen and get it focused before switching to a higher power lens.
