A student has a compound microscope equipped with 10X ocular lenses
and 4X, 10X, 40X and 100X objective lenses. The student has a slide
with cells that are -100 microns (1 micron = 10 mm) in diameter, and
wants to viewa magnified image of a cell so that the cell appears to be
10 mm in diameter. Which objective lens should the student use?
10X
O 40X
O 100X
0 4X
If you made a plant cell drawing and that drawing measured 100 mm, what is the plant cell's magnification
that measured 20 µm under the microscope?
Answer:
You were interested to see a human cell under the microscope, so you went to the lab to look for a dye to
stain human cells you looked for a stain called.

- A student has a compound microscope equipped with 10X ocular lenses and 4X, 10X, 40X and 100X objective lenses. The student has a slide with cells that are -100 microns (1 micron = 103 mm) in diameter, and wants to view a magnified image of a %3D cell so that the cell appears to be 10 mm in diameter. Which objective lens should the student use? O 10X O 40X O 100X O 4X Question 7 2 ptsarrow_forwardWhich of the following microscopes typically requires the use of vital dyes (like methylene blue) to visualize large subcellular structures in a living cell (like the nucleolus or the mitochondrion)? the scanning/tunneling electron microscope (STEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000,000x the transmission electron microscope (TEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000x the scanning electron microscope (SEM), with good resolution up to about 1,000,000x the compound light microscope, with good resolution up to about 1,500x all of the above microscopes would be equally useful in visualizing the interior of organellesarrow_forwardStains are used because O they bind evenly to all str they reduce contrast and make it easier to see cells on a bright background they increase contrast and can be used to distinguish between types of structures or cells they increase resolutionarrow_forward
- Why do we stain some organisms before viewing them under a microscope? (see top of p 14)arrow_forwardThere are many different types of microscopes that can be used in science. Research the function of each type of microscope below Stereomicroscopes Bright field microscope Dark field microscope Fluorescence microscope Phase contrast microscope Nomarski microscope Scanning electron microscope Transmission electron microscopearrow_forwardWhat type of microscope would be best for studying the detailed structure of the surface of a plasma membrane? light microscope scanning electron microscope transmission electron microscope both a light microscope and an electron microscopearrow_forward
- Why is the microscope important to the study of biology?arrow_forwardMicroscope You should always position the cells or tissues in the center of view before increasing magnification, because you know that the image will move right as you move the slide to the left. you know that the image will move up as you move the slide down you know that the center of field of view will be unchanged this is the best way to avoid breaking the slide with an objectivearrow_forwardThe following fluorescence microscopy shows several cells. What part of the cell is labelled by the fluorescence here? b The Cytosol The Endoplasmic Reticulum The nucleolus The nucleus The actin cytoskeletonarrow_forward
- Explain how a light microscope worksarrow_forwardTypes of Dyes/Stains According to Charge: Staining procedure Charge of the chromophore/ colored ion Charge of the target cellular structure Applications/Target cell structurelsites Dye Examples Positive Staining Negative stainingarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding electron microscopy is FALSE? Question options: live organisms cannot be viewed with an electron microscope all of these statements are TRUE scanning electron microscopes focus electrons across the surface of a sample electrons pass through a sample viewed using transmission electron microscopy electron microscopes use magnetic fields in place of glass lenses electron microsopes have a better resolving power than light microscopesarrow_forward
