1 | | A rheostat is a device that controls the size of the magnification of an objective. |
|
|
2 | | A microscope specimen consists of a part or product of the human body or a microbe. A specimen is examined microscopically in order to learn about the health of the whole body. |
|
|
3 | | The oil-immersion objective has a very high power of magnification and therefore requires oil to produce a clear image of the specimen. |
|
|
4 | | The working distance is the distance between the oculars and the specimen. |
|
|
5 | | Lab personnel using the microscope must learn to recognize complicated patterns of blood-cell structures, urine-sediment composition, and microorganisms. |
|
|
6 | | Most microscopes require very little maintenance except for routine care and a yearly inspection by a professional microscope technician. |
|
|
7 | | In the term 40X, the X means times or magnification. |
|
|
8 | | A mechanical stage is attached to the platform stage. |
|
|
9 | | Resolution refers to the fact that when objectives are changed, the object in the center of the magnified field should remain centered in the field of view. |
|
|
10 | | Located in the condenser, the rheostat controls the amount of light entering through the aperture in the stage. |
|
|
11 | | The higher the magnification, the more light is required for viewing a specimen. |
|
|
12 | | The higher the magnification, the longer the working distance. |
|
|
13 | | With a mechanical stage, you can control much more easily the direction of the slide movement. |
|
|
14 | | When moving from the 40X objective to the oil-immersion objective, you should remove your eyes from the oculars and look from the side at the microscope objectives. |
|
|
15 | | On a mechanical stage, the range of motion between the x axis and the y axis permits movement in four directions. |
|
|
16 | | If you lose your focus on a higher-powered objective, you must return to the 10X objective and start the focusing process from the beginning. |
