Chapter 3, Problem 2A
Summary Introduction
To write:
The use of a good compound light microscope with a resolving power of 0.3 mm, a 10x and a 100x oil immersion lens.
Given:
“Compound light microscope” and “resolving power”
Introduction:
A compound microscope is consists of two convex lenses with shorter focal length, used to magnify the tiny objects. The resolving power of the compound microscope is 0.2µm and magnification power is 2000x.

Using a good compound light microscope with a resolving of 0.3 micro meter a 10x ocular lens ,and a 100 x oil immersion lens, would you be able to discern two objects separated by 0.4 micro meter?0.2 micro meter? 300 neno meter ? Explain your reasoning.
Calculate the diameter of the field of view for each total magnification on your microscope in millimeters
(mm) and then convert this value to micrometers (um):
4.5 mm =
4,500 um
Scanning (40X):
1.8 mm x 100X/40X =
Low power (100X):
FOV diameter 1.8 mm =
1,800 um
High power (400X):
1.8 mm x 100X/400X = 0.45 mm =
450 um
Oil immersion (1000X):
O.18m
180 um
1.8 mm x 100x/1000X =
Draw and estimate the length of a single Euglena (high power) and Paramecium (low power):

- The field of view (FOV) is the entire circular image we see when looking into the eyepiece. The diameter of the FOV gets smaller as we increase magnification. It can be measured by using a stage micrometer like a ruler, measuring from edge to edge. Notice that the stage micrometer is 1000 microns (µm) in length, and the field of view under the lowest magnification is 5000 µm. Describe how we measure it?arrow_forwardThe field of view is the maximum area visible through the lenses of a microscope, and it is represented by a diameter. To determine the diameter of your field of view, you can place a transparent metric ruler under the low power (10X) objective of a microscope.
