To answer:
To find the resolution of two objects at 400nm and 40nm apart by using 100× oil lens.
Introduction:
A microscope is a device used to view the magnified image of an object. There are two types of lens used in the microscope namely, the objective and the ocular lens. The ocular lens has 10× power and the objective lenses have 10×, 40×, and 100× power respectively.
The resolving power of a microscope was increased by using the immersion oil. It was attained by immersing the objective lens and the slide containing the sample in a transparent oil. The 100× objective lens is used for the oil immersion procedure.

- If the total magnification of a microscope is 700X and the ocular lens magnifies by a factor of 10x, what is the magnification of the objective lens that was used? Paragraph BIUarrow_forwardExplain when to use bright-field, phase-contrast, dark-field, fluorescence, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopy for a given situation. What is an example of this situation?arrow_forwardD) When performing fluorescence microscopy what are the stokes shift and why is it better to have fluorochromes with a large stokes shift? E) What is photobleaching and what is done when imaging histological samples to overcome it when performing fluorescence microscopy?arrow_forward
- What’s the aim of using a microscope for examining? What can the kohler illumination technique tell us? What are the sources of error that can impact the data ?arrow_forwardPrevious question: For example, you can estimate the field of view diameter at 400x total magnification using the measured diameter at 100x total magnification. The magnification is 4 times greater so the field of view will be 4 times smaller. What is the field of view under the 40X objective of the microscope. - The Answer I got for this question was 3/4mm.arrow_forwardIf the ocular lens of a microscope has 10X magnifying power, and the 40X objective lens is being used for observation, what is the total magnification for the viewed image? 10x 43x 1000x 400xarrow_forward
- 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): Paramecium Euglena total magnification total magnification 400x yoox FOV diam.

Knowing that your field diameter with the 4X lens is 5 mm, answer the following: a) What is the field diameter at 40X? b) What is the size of each cell you viewed, in mm? in um?arrow_forward1)You can see something at 10x but not at 40x or 100x, what do you do? 2)Your microscope has light, the slide looks like it's in the right place, but you can't fully focus on the smear. Do you move up to the next magnification? Explain why?arrow_forward
- Assume you are observing the diatom pictured in Figure 1 using the 10X lens in a compound light microscope. You move to the 40X lens and then again to the 100X lens by only rotating the turret (remember that the lenses are parfocal), without making any other adjustments to the microscope. c) After making your adjustments, you notice that the midline of the diatom is in focus while the remainder is blurry. Explain, based on microscopy principles, why this has occurred Provide a description of the procedure to prepare an acidic stain of bacteria using Nigrosin as it would appear in the Methods section.arrow_forwardHow many coccus cells (0.0005 mm in diameter) could fit across the entire FOV of the 100x objective lens (assuming the DFOV of the 100x lens is 180 μm?arrow_forwardImagine you are using a microscope with 5x eye pieces (instead of 10x like ours).
