The objective lens referred to as the "high dry lens" is typically the 40x or 100x lens in a microscope, which allows for high magnification of specimens without the use of immersion oil. The term "dry" indicates that it operates without immersion oil, unlike the oil immersion lens, which is usually 100x. High dry lenses are useful for observing thin sections and mounted specimens, providing clarity and detail at higher magnifications.

Which objective is a high dry lens?
A high dry lens is typically used for observing samples on a microscope slide that have been prepared with a mounting medium or coverslip. These objectives have a higher working distance compared to oil immersion objectives and are commonly found in magnifications ranging from 20x to 100x.
Why should you never use the coarse focus knob when using high-dry lens?
Using the coarse focus knob with a high-dry lens can damage the lens or scrape the slide due to the shorter working distance of the lens. It is recommended to only use the fine focus knob to avoid causing any harm to the lens or slide.
What are five cell structures that can be observed with a high dry objective lens?
Nucleus, plasma membrane, cilia, flagella
A student has the high dry lens in position and appears to be intently observing the specimen The instructor noting a working distance of 1 cm knows the student isn't seeing the specimen How so?
A "high-dry" lens is a "high power, non-oil immersion" lens. As focal depth decreases with magnification, a high power lens would have a much shorter working distance than 1cm. The student is looking at dust floating in the air, not the slide. Crank it down to 1-2mm, refocus and look again.
What is the magnification of a high power objective?
The oil immersion lens or objective has power 90X-100X and an eyepiece lens generally in light microscope comes with 10X so total magnification of oil immersion lens is 100X10 = 1,000
What precautions must be taken when using a high power lens?
When using a high power lens, it is important to avoid looking directly at the sun or a bright light source as it can damage your eyes or the lens itself. Additionally, handle the lens with care to avoid scratching or damaging it, and store it in a clean and dry place when not in use to prevent dust or moisture buildup.
How can I prevent or remove condensation on my camera lens?
To prevent condensation on your camera lens, store it in a dry place when not in use and avoid sudden temperature changes. If condensation does occur, gently wipe the lens with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to air dry before using it again.
What objective lens provides the highest magnification?
The oil immersion objective lens provides the highest magnification in a compound light microscope, typically ranging from 90x to 100x. This lens requires a drop of oil to be placed on the slide to reduce light refraction and increase image clarity and magnification.
The combination of dry dusty soil and high winds produced an era known as the .?
dust bowl
What is the difference between a dry and wet objective lens?
A dry objective lens is used without any immersion medium, while a wet objective lens requires a drop of immersion oil to improve resolution and clarity by reducing light refraction. Wet objectives are typically used for higher magnification and numerical aperture applications in microscopy.
How do you make a fire with a lens?
Take the lens into a place where the sun is shining. Hold the lens between the sunlight and the object you wish to burn. Move the lens nearer or further away until the lens throws a small usually pale blue circle on the object. Hold the lens steady until wisps of smoke appear. Whether the object catches fire will depend upon the nature of the object. Dry paper will burn but wet cloth will only steam until the material is dry.
When was High 'n' Dry created?
High 'n' Dry was created in 1980.
