|---|---|
 The microscope lens may be cleaned with any soft tissue | False; special lens tissue |
| The microscope should be stored with oil immersion lens in position over stage | False ; scanning |
| When beginning to focus, use the lowest power lens. | True |
| When focusing, always focus toward the specimen. | False; away so slide doesn't break |
| A coverslip should always be used with wet mounts and the high power oil lenses. | False |
| Platform on which the slide rests for viewing | Stage |
| Used to increase the amount of light passing through the specimen | Condenser |
| Secures the slide to the stage | Stage Clips |
| Delivers a concentrated beam of light to the specimen | Iris Diaphragm |
| Used for precise focusing once initial focusing has been done | Fine Adjustment Knob |
| Carries the Objective lenses Rotates | Revolving nosepiece |
| Real image is magnified by the Occular to produce ______ for eye | Virtual Image |
| Ability to discriminate between 2 close objects as separate | Resolution |
| Distance from bottom of objective lens in use to the specimen is called | Working Distance |
| Object on left side, want to bring it to center (right)....what direction would you move slide? | Right |
| The area of the specimen seen when looking through the microscope | Field |
| Why should light be dimmed when looking at living cells? | For more contrast So light doesn't kill the cells |
| Only the FAK needs to be used to focus at higher powers after focusing at low powers | Parafocal Microscope |
| Higher Magnification, Resolution | Increases |
| Higher Magnification, working distance | Decreases |
| Higher Magnification, Amount of Light needed | Increases |
| Higher Magnification, Depth of Field | Decreases |
