What are the common parts are found in both the compound microscope and stereo dissecting microscope?
Both compound microscopes and stereo dissecting microscopes share several common parts, including eyepieces (ocular lenses), objective lenses, and a stage for holding the specimen. They also typically have illumination systems to enhance visibility, either through transmitted or reflected light. Additionally, both types of microscopes often feature a focusing mechanism to adjust the clarity of the image.
How does visible light interact with an object?
Visible light interacts with an object by either being absorbed, transmitted, or reflected. The color of the object is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected off its surface. When light is absorbed, it can cause the object to heat up. Transmitted light passes through the object without being absorbed or reflected.
Wavelength of light would you expect to be reflected or transmitted by chlorophyll a?
green
Are light microscopes more powerful than electron microscopes?
Yes, electron microscopes have a much higher possible magnification than compound light microscopes. An electron microscope is capable of 10,000,000 times magnification, whereas a good compound light microscope is capable of 1,000 - 2,000 times magnification.
Is the color of an object the sum of the color it will reflect or transmit?
The color of an object is determined by the specific wavelengths of light that are reflected or transmitted by the object. The color we perceive is the sum of the light that is reflected or transmitted, and not the light that is absorbed by the object.
Why are light microscopes also called compound microscopes?
Light microscopes are called compound because a light microscope has more than one lense.
Does transmitted and reflected mean the same thing?
No, in the context of light, transmitted and reflected are not the same. Transmitted light is when light passes through a material, while reflected light is when light bounces off a surface.
What is an example of transmitted light?
Leaves that are green are an example of reflected and transmitted light.

Can light reflected and transmitted at a boundary?
Yes, when light encounters a boundary between two different mediums, it can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed. The amount of light reflected and transmitted depends on the properties of the materials involved, such as their refractive indices and angles of incidence.
What happens to the colors of light that are not transmitted through a transmitted or a translucent material?
they reflected
Can light reflect and absorb and transmit all at the same time?
Yes, light can be reflected, absorbed, and transmitted simultaneously. When light encounters a medium, some of it is reflected back, some is absorbed by the medium, and some is transmitted through it. The amount of light that is reflected, absorbed, and transmitted depends on the properties of the material it interacts with.
What is transmitted by glass but reflected by silver surfaces?
light
Can compound light microscopes view living specimen?
Yes, compound light microscopes can view living specimens. These microscopes use visible light to illuminate the specimen, allowing for real-time observation of living organisms without causing harm to them.

What is the color of ferric coloride?
Dark green by reflected light and purple-red by transmitted light
How many lenses are in compound light microscopes?
it has three
