Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The type of microscope which is used to study the change in form of white blood cells.
Concept introduction: Microscopy is the use of microscope to see an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Light microscopy uses the light to view the specimen but, in electron microscopy, a beam of electron is used to view the specimen. With the help of light microscope, it can be possible to view different cell types, bacteria, algae, and
(b)
To determine: The type of microscope which is used to study the surface texture of a hair.
Concept introduction: Microscopy is the use of microscope to see an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Light microscopy uses the light to view the specimen but, in electron microscopy, a beam of electron is used to view the specimen. With the help of light microscope, it can be possible to view different cell types, bacteria, algae, and fungi. Scanning electron microscope is used for topographical and compositional study of a sample.

- During a microscopy exercise in the anatomy laboratory,a student makes the following observations about a tissuesection: (1) The section contains some different types ofscattered protein fibers—that is, they exhibit differentwidths, some are branched, some are long and unbranched,and their staining characteristics differ (some are seenonly with specific stains). (2) Several cell types withdifferent morphologies are scattered throughout the section,but these cells are not grouped tightly together. (3) Theexamined section has some “open spaces”—that is, placesbetween cells and the observed fibers in the section thatappear clear with no recognizable features. What type oftissue is the student observing? Where might this tissue befound in the body?arrow_forwardYou were interested to see a human cell under the microscope, so you went to the lab to look for a dye to stain human cells you looked for a stain called …………………………….arrow_forward1.Why is wavelenth the main limiting factor on limit of resoltuin in light microscopy? 2.Assuming that all other variables remain constant, explain why light of shorter wavelengths will produce a clearer image that light of longer wavelenths. 3. Why aren't the magnification of both ocular lenses of a binocular microscope used to calculate total magnification?arrow_forward
