What else can I help you with?
Why you use a drop of water in preparing microscopic slide?
A drop of water is used to create a thin film of liquid on the slide, which helps to spread and suspend the specimen evenly for viewing under the microscope. It also prevents the specimen from drying out during observation.
What type of slide is made by placing the specimen in a drop of water on the slide and covering it with a glass slip?
A wet mount slide is made by placing the specimen in a drop of water on the slide and covering it with a glass slip. This technique is commonly used in microscopy to observe living organisms or specimens in their natural hydrated state.
What is the function of a microscope's stage clip?
The stage clip holds the the specimen slide firmly on the stage and is needed if the microscope is tilted.
When you moved the slides in different directions what changes in the image of the specimen under focus did you notice?
You should notice that the image in the microscope moves in the opposite direction to the movement of the slide. For example, if the specimen slide is moved top to bottom, the image seen moves from bottom to top. This can be very confusing.
What are the steps of the wet mount?
the five steps to making a wet mount slide is 1.use a flat glass slide to prepare a wt mount slide 2.suck up a few drops of water from your liquid specimen into a medicaine dropper 3.pick up the wet mount slide on the 2 outer sides of the slides 4.place the specimen your using into the water 5.place the top cover slips on the top of the water with the specimen in it (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (:
What is the name of a Specimen cover for microscope slide?
Cover slip.
What is the specimen put on?
Slide.
What requires more light a stained specimen slide or an unstained live specimen slide?
A stained specimen slide typically requires more light than an unstained live specimen slide. This is because the staining process can reduce the transparency of the specimen, making it harder for light to pass through and creating a need for more illumination to visualize details.
What is the function of stage clips?
the stage clips are used to hold the slide in place on the stage.
Where is the slide containing the specimen placed in the microscope?
The slide containing the specimen is placed on the stage of the microscope. The stage is a flat platform where the slide sits, and it typically has clips to hold the slide in place. From the stage, the light source below illuminates the specimen for viewing through the lenses of the microscope.
What goes on top of the slide and the specimen?
Coverslip
What is function of stage?
To hold the specimen or slide
When observing a slide should the specimen be on the top or bottom surface of the microscope?
The specimen should be placed on the top surface of the microscope slide. This allows the light to pass through the specimen from below and be magnified by the lenses in the microscope to form an image for observation.
Where do you put the specimen on a microscope?
You place the specimen on a glass slide, which is then positioned on the stage of the microscope. The stage typically has clips to hold the slide in place during observation.
What kind of slide includes a specimen that has been stained and glued to a slide?
A slide that includes a specimen that has been stained and glued to it is typically referred to as a "permanent slide" or "mounted slide." These slides are prepared for long-term storage and observation, allowing for detailed examination of the specimen's structure and features under a microscope. The staining enhances contrast, making cellular components more visible, while the glue or mounting medium preserves the specimen.
What does the stage clips of a microscope do.?
it is use to hold your glass slide/specimen slide in place.
What is function of stage clip?
To hold the specimen or slide
