Using the largest objective (usually 100x) on a microscope can cause the objective lens to come in contact with the slide, potentially damaging both the lens and the slide. It can also result in the image being out of focus because the working distance is very small. Smaller objectives (40x or 60x) are typically used for high magnification to prevent these issues.

How can you measure the size of microscopic object using micrometer?

To measure the size of a microscopic object using a micrometer, you can place the object on a glass slide under a microscope and use the micrometer on the microscope to measure its dimensions in micrometers. Alternatively, you can use image analysis software to measure the object's size based on images taken with a microscope.


Can you see a bacterium that is 1 micrometer in size?

You cannot see microbes with the naked eye, hence their name. To see them requires magnification such as a microscope.


Why cant an optical microscope be used to see a plasma membrane?

An optical microscope cannot be used to see a plasma membrane because the plasma membrane is composed of lipid bilayers that are too thin to be resolved by the limited resolution of an optical microscope. Additionally, the plasma membrane is transparent and lacks sufficient contrast for visualization using an optical microscope. Specialized techniques such as electron microscopy or fluorescence microscopy are better suited for imaging the plasma membrane.


Why do you need a microscope or hand lens to see the parts that make up matter?

Microscopes and hand lenses help magnify the tiny parts that make up matter, such as atoms and molecules, making them visible to the human eye. Without this magnification, these microscopic particles are too small to be seen.


Why cant we see the molecules of water moving around?

The movement of water molecules is too small and fast to be seen with the naked eye. Additionally, the individual molecules are small and transparent, making them difficult to observe even under a microscope.

Why cant opaque objects be veiwed under a compound microscope?

That is certainly not true. A "compound" microscope is one that has an objective AND an ocular. Typically the front focal distance is so short that illumination through the specimen is most common. A "simple" microscope has only one magnifying lens group, not two or more. Short front focus makes lighting from the side more difficult but not impossible or even rare.


What part in the microscope is the most important and why?

There're two knobs at the side of a light microscope (this is just my experience, it may be different if you're using different brands of microscope or even an electron type microscope). For first focus, adjust the larger knob (also known as rough adjustment) followed by the final focus (to sharpen the image), by adjusting the smaller knob (known as fine adjustment).
