You can calculate total magnification by which of the following methods?

• Adding the magnification of the eyepiece (ocular) and the objective that is being used.
• Multiplying the eyepiece (ocular) and the objective being used.
• Subtracting the eyepiece (ocular) and the objective that is being used
• Divide the eyepiece (ocular) BY objective being used

When would you use the diaphragm?

• When you wanted to move the stage
• When you wanted to adjust the amount of  the light projected on the specimen.
• When you wanted to put the microscope away
• When you sneeze

Find the total magnification: 
Eyepiece = 10X 
Objective lens = 55X  

• 10x
• 55x
• 65x
• 550x

You should always carry the microscope by the

• arm and base
• arm and body tube
• arm only
• the objectives

When looking at a specimen on your slide, you should always start with the

• low objective lens
• medium objective lens
• high objective lens
• super extra high power lens

The__________ moves the stage slightly to make the image clearer. 

• the diaphragm
• fine adjustment knob
• coarse adjustment knob
• the ocular

Using the diagram, identify the part of the diagram that is marked with #2.

• Objectives
• Body Tube
• Revolving Nosepiece
• Stage

The ______________, also called the ____________ is the part of the microscope that you look through to see the specimen on the slide.

• nosepiece: eyepiece
• eyepiece; ocular lens
• ocular lens; nosepiece
• eyepiece; objective

What happens to the view of the image as the power of magnification is increased?

• By increasing the power of magnification, the image becomes more detailed.
• By increasing the power of magnification, the image is reversed.
• By increasing the power of magnification, you are able to see more of what surrounds the specimen.
• By increasing the power of magnification, the specimen magically becomes alive!

When viewing the specimen, start by using the _____________ first to bring the object in to focus.  Next use the ____________ to be able to view the specimen in more detail.

• course adjustment knob; fine adjustment knob
• fine adjustment knob; course adjustment knob
• nosepiece; eypiece
• base; arm
