Microscopes
Microscopes are used to look at things that are not visible to the naked eye. This category would demonstrate how microscopes work and information about different kinds of microscope.

How does a microscope help scientists learn about different types of cells?
they can see them up close and can identify the cells.
What kind of microscope do you need to see an ants exoskeleton?
i am not sure of what kind of microscope you need, but not something cheap at all,
i can remember that i did this on a really cheap one a couple of years ago, a normal stereo microscope (optic) should work fine ;3
Generally viruses are smaller than bacteria, which are themselves smaller than animal and plant cells. Therefore D is the smallest and is least likely to be visible using an ordinary microscope.
See related links for an interactive scale of cells, from the macroscopic to the microscopic, down to a single carbon atom.
- There are no bacteria on the slide.
- Your lens cap is on.
- You are not looking in the right place.
- The microscope is in the wrong focus.
How can you determine the size of an object using the microscope?
There are special microscope slides available, which have on them a millimeter scale graduated down to 1/100 of a mm. Manufacturers of microscopes make these.
are thin slides of rock or mineral mounted to a microscope slide.
What science began because of the microscope?
I think Biology was the science that began because of the microscope
How do electrons microscopes work?
they used tiny pieces of glass that reflects light and make the images bigger and clearer
What are the parts and functions a microscope?
- where the eyepiece is attached
2. Body Tube
- holds the dust shield and the revolving nosepiece
3. Adjustment Screws
3.1. Coarse Adjustment Knob
- use for the low power objective
3.2. Fine Adjustment Knob
- use for the high power and oil-immersion objective
4. Arm
- to hold the microscope
- use to tilt the microscope for a better look
- attached to the base also supports the microscope
- supports the entire microscope
- protects the objectives
- where the objectives are attached
- to support or where the slide is put
- used to hold the slide
- where the light will pass during observing in stage
- used to hold the mirror
- used to concentrate light
- used to regulate light
- used to direct light
- where the observer peeps or look in to seek the specimen
- used to get the outline of the object
- used to study the object in detail
- used to study bacteria, microorganisms
hope this can help .. this is miss D guys .. sana masagot nyo ung mga niresearch nio about microscope , especially St. Thomas ...
What are the steps for being safe and taking care of a microscope?
1.hold the neck with one hand 2. put your other hand underneath the base 3. Wind stage all the way up to the top 4. Make sure that the smallest objective lens is in front 5. place slide in the centure of stage and put the stageclips on 6. look throught the eyepiece and focus the slide 7. when you are finished take the slide off and get a piece of lens paper NOT A TISSUE OR TOILET PAPER THAT RUINS THE LENS 8. wipe each objective lens with the lens paper and the eyepiece to 9. DO NOT TOUCH THE LENS WITH YOUR FINGERS!!! THAT RUINS IT TO!! 10. place dust jacket over microscope and carry it (repeat steps 1&2) to a safe place. 11. Store it in a clean, dry place.
It's a humourous "Rap song" about the microscope - check it out on YOU TUBE http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=hVxMPLrzv4A
The term microscope technically applies to any magnifying arrangement of lenses, one or many.
Single lens magnification has been known since about 1000 AD and no inventor is recorded by history.
Around 1590, several individuals compete for recognition as the inventor of the compound microscope which is a microscope using two or more lenses. See the link below to the related question, "Who invented the microscope?"
About 1670, Anton van Leeuwenhoek dramatically increased the magnifying power of the simple microscope.
Where can you buy the bracket that holds the clip in place on a Glenfield model 25?
Have you tried Numrich Gun Parts? I was able to get some parts for mine from them. Also, they are suggested by Marlin if you call them looking for parts. They have a website, just search Numrich. I can't think of the address right now. Hope that helps.
What is the use of hand lever in the microscope?
the hand lever is the part of microscope....
the microscope need to see the small things or viruses....
What is the function of a lamp housing on a microscope?
The lamp housing on a microscope houses the light source (typically a bulb or LED) that illuminates the specimen being viewed. It helps to provide sufficient and adjustable illumination to enhance the visibility of the specimen under observation.
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.
Are made by crushing mineral sample. After sending them into a filter and sorts from size. Then are placed on a microscope slide.
What do things that are to small for a light microscope get viewed by?
Things that are too small for a light microscope, such as viruses and molecules, can be viewed using an electron microscope. Electron microscopes use a beam of electrons instead of light to magnify objects at a much higher resolution than light microscopes.
Who what where how and when was Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
Short Answer:
Anton van Leeuwenhoek invented a method for making small spherical lenses that much increased the magnification of simple microscopes. He discovered single celled microorganisms and other microscopic structures. He advanced the design of the simple microscope.
The compound microscope was invented 40 years before Anton van Leeuwenhoek was born. He used a simple one lens microscope.
More:
Anton van Leeuwenhoek, (October 24, 1632 -- August 26, 1723) is known as "the Father of Microbiology". He was from Delft, Netherlands. He was not trained in science, but was originally a tradesman.
The date is not know precisely, but around 1670, more than half a century after the discovery of the compound microscope, van Leeuwenhoek discovered a way to make small lenses of very high magnification that went significantly beyond the capability of existing microscopes.
He is considered to be the first microbiologist because of his scientific discoveries made possible by his enhanced microscopes. He was the first person to observe and describe single celled organisms. He was a contemporary of Robert Hook and the two men share some credit for establishing that living things were made of cells.
Beyond the initial discovery of the method for making small spherical lenses, van Leeuwenhoek made over 500 optical lenses (though they did not necessarily become 500 different microscopes) and can be said to have built at least 25 variations on his basic design of the microscope.
How does the letter a as seen through the microscope differ from the way an a normally appears?
It appears so much bigger you probably won't recognize it as an "a".
