In the end you will have to look into it, but at the start, when everything is far out of focus there is a real danger that as you try to find the focus you will grind the lower (objective) lens into the object, possibly destroying it, and damaging the lens at the same time.

What lens of a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined?

The 'object lens' in a compound microscope is closest to the object being examined.


What is the difference between compound microscope and dissecting microscope?

In compound microscope are usually able to magnify an object by 400 times.while dissecting microscope usually only magnify an object by 40 times or less. In compound microscope are used to view very small, relatively thin things, such as cells. In dissecting microscope are used to look at larger objects that have a greater degree of depth such as grains of pollen. In compound microscope is always made with 1 eyepiece. On the other hand dissecting microscope is always made with 2 eyepiece.


Will an object 1594 angstroms in diameter be visible with the light microscope using the 100X objective?

No, an object with a diameter of 1594 angstroms will not be visible with a light microscope using a 100X objective. The resolution limit of a light microscope is around 200 nanometers, which is much larger than the size of the object.


What do the lenses on a microscope do to the light as it passes through them - and how does this affect the way an object appears when the light reaches your eye?

The lenses in a microscope diffract (bend) the light as it passes through them. The effect is that an object appears clear and large (is focused and magnified) when the light reaches your eye. Also, microscope designs usually ensure that the object appears right-side-up.


Is resolution is a microscope's power to increase an object's apparent size?

No, resolution is a microscope's ability to distinguish between two separate points or objects that are close together. Magnification is the microscope's power to increase an object's apparent size.

So that you are looking at the details of the object and not the light.

Why should you never rack downwards with the coarse focusing while you are looking down the microscope?

The object on the viewing stage is close to the lens of a microscope. Racking downward risks the lens touching the object and damaging either the object itself or the lens. Before moving the lens down, make sure you can see the lens and the object from the side of the microscope to void the two touching each other.


Why why should you always move object lens away from the slide when you're focusing a microscope?

If you move closer while looking thru the lens, there is a danger of cracking the slide, especially using coarse adjustment.


What is the name of the shortest object in a microscope called?

The shortest object in a microscope is called the "specimen" or the "sample." It is the object or material being observed under the microscope.


How do things appear under a microscope?

When looking through a microscope, objects appear larger because the lens system magnifies them. The microscope uses light to illuminate the object, allowing us to see intricate details that are not visible to the naked eye. Magnification and resolution of the microscope determine how clearly we can observe the object.


What is the microscope?

A microscope is an object that enlarges small objects.


What does a electron microscope use to form images?

A electron microscope uses beams of highly charged, energetic, electrons, due to these electrons this type of microscope can magnify the object it is looking at by two thousand times! So because we can magnify an object by such a great amount we can use electron microscopes to observe how atoms are arranged in an object and even look at the structure of an atom.


Why magnifying glass is useful but not essential?

A magnifying glass is useful because it can help magnify small objects or text for easier viewing. However, it is not essential because there are other ways to achieve magnification, such as using a microscope or a digital magnifier. Additionally, not all tasks require magnification, so a magnifying glass may not always be necessary.


What to do first when using a microscope?

What you do first when you use a microscope you put the slide in. Then you focus the microscope. Then you look at the object you are supposed to or look at the object you want to.
