What is the function of a microscope in biology?

Back

A microscope is an instrument used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye, allowing scientists to study cells, microorganisms, and other biological specimens.

Front

What are the main parts of a microscope?

Back

The main parts of a microscope include the eyepiece, objective lenses, stage, light source, and focus knobs.

Front

What is the purpose of the eyepiece in a microscope?

Back

The eyepiece is the lens you look through to see the magnified image of the specimen.

Front

What is magnification in the context of microscopy?

Back

Magnification is the process of enlarging the appearance of an object, allowing for detailed observation of small structures.

Front

What is the difference between the coarse and fine focus knobs?

Back

The coarse focus knob is used for making large adjustments to the focus, while the fine focus knob is used for making small adjustments to achieve a clearer image.

Front

What is the role of the stage in a microscope?

Back

The stage is the platform where the slide containing the specimen is placed for observation.

Front

What is the purpose of the light source in a microscope?

Back

The light source illuminates the specimen, making it easier to see details.

Front

What does the term 'resolution' mean in microscopy?

Back

Resolution refers to the ability of a microscope to distinguish between two closely spaced objects, providing clarity in the image.

Front

What is the significance of using different objective lenses?

Back

Different objective lenses provide varying levels of magnification and resolution, allowing for detailed examination of specimens at different scales.

Front

What is the importance of proper slide preparation?

Back

Proper slide preparation ensures that the specimen is thin enough for light to pass through and is positioned correctly for observation.
