MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Sophia, Grace, and Michael are participating in a high-level science competition! They are using a highly advanced microscope and Sophia is pondering, what is the part of the microscope that securely holds the slide in place while allowing for precise movement and focusing?

Condenser

Coarse adjustment knob

Arm

Stage

Answer explanation

In the science competition, Sophia asked about the part of the microscope that holds the slide in place. The correct answer is the stage, as it is the flat platform on the microscope where the slide is placed and held steady for observation. The other options, lens, handle, and base, are not responsible for holding the slide in place.

Rohan, Grace, and Isla are participating in a science competition! They are using a microscope and Rohan is wondering which part of the microscope he should adjust to control the amount of light passing through the slide. However, he also needs to know the function of the other parts. Can you help him out?

diaphragm - controls the amount of light, eyepiece - allows viewing, stage - holds the slide, lens - magnifies the specimen

diaphragm - holds the slide, eyepiece - controls the amount of light, stage - magnifies the specimen, lens - allows viewing

diaphragm - magnifies the specimen, eyepiece - holds the slide, stage - controls the amount of light, lens - allows viewing

diaphragm - allows viewing, eyepiece - magnifies the specimen, stage - holds the slide, lens - controls the amount of light

Answer explanation

Rohan should adjust the diaphragm of the microscope to control the amount of light passing through the slide. The diaphragm is responsible for regulating light, while the eyepiece, stage, and lens serve other functions in the microscope.

Zoe, Lily, and Anika are on a science adventure! They come across a microscope and are curious to explore. They see multiple parts such as the lens, eyepiece, objective, and stage. Which part of the microscope should they look through to see the magnified image, considering the light path of a compound microscope?

lens

eyepiece

objective

stage

Answer explanation

In a microscope, the eyepiece is the part through which the user looks to see the magnified image. The lens and objective are responsible for magnifying the image, while the stage holds the specimen. Therefore, Zoe, Lily, and Anika should look through the eyepiece to see the magnified image.

Evelyn, Daniel, and Kai are having a science competition! They're using a microscope and need to focus the image. Which part of the microscope should they use to adjust the distance between the objective lens and the specimen for focusing?

objective lens

condenser

stage

eyepiece

fine adjustment knob

Answer explanation

In a microscope, the objective lens is responsible for focusing the image. It is the part that gathers light from the specimen and magnifies it to create a clear, detailed image. The other options, such as the condenser, stage, and eyepiece, play different roles in the microscope's functioning but do not directly focus the image.

Ethan, Priya, and Arjun are having a friendly debate about their biology lab equipment. They are trying to figure out the name of the part of the microscope that holds the objective lenses and can be rotated to change the magnification. They also want to know the name of the part that supports the microscope and is used to carry it. Can you help them settle this?

nosepiece and base

objective rotator and arm

magnification changer and stage

lens holder and condenser

Answer explanation

In the question, Ethan, Priya, and Arjun are discussing the part of the microscope that holds the objective lenses and allows for changing magnification. The correct answer is the nosepiece, as it is the component that holds the objective lenses and can be rotated to change the magnification.

Olivia, Aria, and Sophia are in an advanced science class, studying the intricate details of microscopes. They are intrigued to know which part of the microscope is used to minutely adjust the distance between the objective lens and the slide without disturbing the focus. Can you assist them?

fine adjustment knob

coarse adjustment knob

stage clip

condenser

diaphragm

Answer explanation

The fine adjustment knob is the correct choice because it is used to adjust the distance between the objective lens and the slide on a microscope. This knob allows for precise focusing and fine-tuning of the image, making it easier for Olivia, Aria, and Sophia to observe their specimens in their science class.

Ava, Mason, and Rohan are participating in a science quiz competition. They encounter a challenging question: Which component of the microscope is responsible for regulating the amount of light that enters the microscope and ultimately reaches the specimen?

diaphragm

eyepiece

stage

objective lens

Answer explanation

The diaphragm is the correct answer. It is a part of the microscope that controls the amount of light entering the microscope. The other options, eyepiece, stage, and lens, have different functions. The eyepiece is for viewing, the stage holds the specimen, and the lens magnifies the image.
