THE COMPOUND MICROSCOPE,MAGNIFICATION AND RESOLUTION

The compound microscope is:

• an instrument or magnification of the angle of sight of smallobjects, invisible to the unaided eye;

• an instrument for magnification of small objects, invisible to unaided eye

• an instrument for changing the size of small objects, invisible to the unaided

The mechanical system consists of:

• base and arm, object stage, mirror, rotating turret for objective lenses, fine and coarse focus adjustment knobs;

• base and arm, object stage, tube, rotating turet for objective lenses, fine and coarse focus adjustment knobs;

• base and arm, object stage, tube, objective lens, fine and coarse focus adjustment knobs.

An illumination system consists of:

• alight source, colimator, condenser, knobs and tube.

• alight source, colimator, objective lens, diaphragms for shaping hte iluminating light;

• alight source, colimator, condenser, diaphragms for shaping the iluminating light;

The image created yb the objective lens is:

• enlarged, upright, real;

• enlarged, inversed, real;

• enlarged, inversed, virtual.

The image created by the eyepiece is:

• enlarged, inversed, virtual.

• enlarged, upright, real;

• enlarged, upright, virtual;

Transverse magnification of the component of the optical system is:

• the ratio between atransverse dimension of the image ot hte corresponding transverse dimension of the object;

• he sum of the transverse dimension of the image and hte transverse dimension of the object;

• the product of the transverse dimension of hte image and hte transverse dimension of the object.

Microscope magnification is:

• the sum of the transverse magnification of the objective lens and the transverse magnification of the eyepiece;

• the ratio between the transverse magnification of the objective lens and the transverse magnification of the eyepiece.

• the product of the transverse magnification of the objective lens and the transverse magnification of the eyepiece;

Two images are considered separate if:

• 1. the distance between their centers is bigger than their radius;

• 1. the distance between their centers is not less than their diameters.

• the distance between their centers is not less than their radius;

The resolution limit of the compound microscope is:

• 1. the smallest distance between two points of the object at which they are imaged separately;

• 1. the biggest distance between two points of the object at which they are imaged separately;

• 1. the distance between two points of the object at which they are imaged separately.

The aperture angle of the objective front lens is the:

• 1. the half-angle of the maximum cone of light originating from the object and entering the objective lens;

• 1. the half-angle of the minimum cone of light originating from the object and entering the objective lens.

• 1. the angle of the maximum cone of light originating from the object and entering the objective lens;
