The microscope has two systems of lenses: the ocular lens into which the observer looks; and objective lenses placed directly above the object being observed.

Is there any difference between compound microscope and inverted microscope?

Special type of compound microscope, developed c. 1850, in which the specimen is illuminated from above and observed from below. A prism placed under the specimen reflects the light rays into body-tube. This feature made it possible to observe reactions without visual disturbance from the gases or the effervescence generated by them. so highly used in tissue culture experiments


What is the difference between a microscope and a stereoscope?

one of them is that the steroscope lights from above the specimen and the microscope lights from below. one of them is that the steroscope lights from above the specimen and the microscope lights from below. one of them is that the steroscope lights from above the specimen and the microscope lights from below.


What is the function of the codenser lens in the compound light microscope?

The function of a condenser lens is to focus the light onto a specimen. Condenser lenses are most useful at the highest powers of 400 x and above. Microscopes with a condenser lens render a sharper image than those with no lens. These lenses are able to move up and down.


What position should you keep your microscope's substage condensor lens?

It should be kept half the way between the body and the base.


What can you see through the light microscope?

Plant cells, animal cells and bacteria can be visualized through the light microscope. Although some of these samples may require staining in order for the observer to see them, the magnification offered by the light microscope is sufficient to look at the morphological structures of the types of cells mentioned above

What is the part of a compound light microscope that is located directly above the specimen and that magnifies the image of th specimen?

It's the objective.


Lens just above specimen on a microscope?

When the lens is placed just above the specimen on a microscope, it allows for closer examination and magnification of the specimen. This positioning helps to focus light from the specimen, providing a clearer and more detailed view. Adjusting the distance between the lens and the specimen can help achieve optimal magnification and resolution.


What supports the body above the stage in a microscope?

A stage is a platform on a microscope where the slide containing the specimen is placed. It is typically supported by a metal support arm or frame connected to the microscope stand. This provides stability and ensures that the stage remains level during observation.

What does the focusing knob on a microscope do?

The focusing knob on a microscope is used to adjust the distance between the objective lens and the specimen being viewed. By turning the focusing knob, you can bring different parts of the specimen into sharp focus under the lenses of the microscope.


What part of the microscope would you adjust to regulate the amount of light reaching the specimen?

The Iris diaphragm in the condenser. (the lever sticking out just above the "8" in the image above.

What microscope can view opaque objects?

A stereo microscope would be the best option for viewing opaque objects. This type of microscope provides a 3D view of the specimen and is capable of illuminating opaque objects from above and below to enhance visibility.

How inverted microscope work?

An inverted microscope is used for viewing culture vessels. They are constructed with the tip of the objective pointing upward. Like you are viewing the specimen from below. The light is directed on the specimen from above.
