Description

Care & Usage 1. True or False, immersion oil can be used with all lenses? False, immersion oil should only be used with 100X immersion oil lens. 2. How should a microscope be carried? With both hands, grasp the arm with one hand and place the other hand under the base for support 3. When switching to the 100X lens, what should you use? Use immersion oil when using the 100X lens, to help enhance the clarity. 4. A 100X lens is also known as what? Immersion oil lens uses a special to help refocus light for enhanced clarity and resolution. 5. A 40X lens is also known as what? High power lens and is useful for focusing on fine detail.

Calculating Magnification 1. Calculate the following total magnification: 10X eyepiece with a 40X objective. 10x40=400X magnification 2. Calculate the following total magnification: 15X eyepiece with a 10X objective. 15x10=150X magnification 3. For a total magnification of 150X, what eyepiece and objective would be used? 15X eyepiece with a 10X objective. 4. Calculate the following total magnification: 10X eyepiece with a 100X objective. 10x100=1000X total magnification 5. Calculate the following total magnification: 5X eyepiece with a 100X objective. 5x100=500X total magnification

Terminology 1. There are several of these on the microscope that are used to hold a slide in place. (Stage Clips) 2. This refers to the main section of the microscope, minus the stand (base) or any illuminators. The body components generally include the eyepiece and objective lenses, but not the focusing block. (Body)

3. Some microscopes have this feature, visible when looking through the eyepiece lens. It can be rotated by turning the eyepieces around. (Pointer) 4. The bottom support structure of the microscope. To carry a microscope, grip the arm with one hand and place the other hand underneath this area. 5.

(Base) This mechanical device prevents gear damage to the microscope when the focus adjustment reaches its maximum travel. (Slip Clutch)...
