What type of microscope did you work in lab?
Compound light microscope
What is a compound light microscope?
A instrument that serves as a valuable tool in observing and studying
structures that are too small to be seen by the unaided eye, like
cell. It is an instrument of magnification that uses light.
What is the proper way to carry a compound light microscope?
Always grasp the arm of the microscope with your dominant hand and
support the base with the other hand, always keeping the microscope upright
WHat are some rules to follow when caring for the compound light microscope
Special grit-free lens paper: ocular and objective lenses, clean all
lenses before storing and again before beginning to use, remove slide
off the stage before storing,rotate the lowest-power objective lens
into position before storing,turn the ocular lens head toward the back
of the microscope before storing,wrap the cord neatly around the back
and replace the dust cover over the microscope before storing
What is the magnification of the ocular lens
10x
How many objective lenses do we have
4
List the name of each of the 4 objective lenses and list the
magnification of each lens
Low-power....4
medium- power......10
high-power......40
oil-immersion ........100
What does TM stand for
Total Magnification
How do you calculate TM
Multiple ocular lens 10x times the objective lens magnification =TM
What Is the TM when using the lower-power objective lens
10x times 4x=40x TM
What is the TM when using the medium-power objective lens
10x times 40x =100xTM
What is the TM when using the high-power objective lens
10x times 40x=400xTM
What is the TM when using the oil-immersion lens
10x time 100x=1000xTM
