    Study Notes

    Compound Light Microscope

    • Eyepiece: Magnifies the image
    • Coarse Adjustment Knob: Moves the stage up and down to initially focus on the specimen. Use with the lowest power objective lens.
    • Fine Adjustment Knob: Used to bring the specimen into sharper focus. Use with any objective lens, primarily medium and high-power ones.
    • Revolving Nosepiece: Holds the objective lenses and allows the lenses to be rotated to select a desired magnification.
    • Objective Lenses: Provide different magnification strengths.
    • Stage: Holds the slide with the specimen.
    • Stage Clips: Hold the slide firmly in place.
    • Diaphragm: Adjusts the amount of light passing through the specimen.
    • Lamp: Provides light for viewing the specimen.
    • Arm: Supports the microscope for carrying.
    • Base: Provides the foundation.

    Microscope Handling Hints

    • Keep both eyes open when viewing the specimen.
    • Use the coarse adjustment knob only with the lowest-power objective lens.
    • Avoid getting dirt or fingerprints on the lenses. Clean them with proper lens cleaning paper only.
    • Keep the stage dry.
    • If using a mirror instead of a lamp, be careful not to reflect direct sunlight into the microscope to avoid damaging your eyes.
    • When carrying the microscope, support the base with one hand and the arm with the other.

    Trying Out a Microscope

    • Place a prepared slide on the stage.
    • Ensure the lens is switched to the lowest power.
    • Use the coarse adjustment knob to focus the image.
    • Use the fine adjustment knob for accurate focusing on the image.
    • Draw a sketch of what you observed.

    Cells and Systems

    • Cells are the basic unit of life
    • Cells work together in tissues to perform functions
    • Tissues form organs
    • Organs form organ systems in humans, to maintain life.

    Cell Structure

    • Cell membrane: Thin line that surrounds the cell, allowing certain substances in and out.
    • Cell wall: Rigid, frame-like covering that surrounds the cell membrane in plant cells.
    • Cytoplasm: Fluid inside the cell that contains bits.
    • Nucleus: Large, dark, spherical structure typically found in the center of the cell.
    • Vacuoles: Clear, liquid-filled spaces within the cytoplasm that store substances.

    Comparing Plant and Animal Cells

    • Similar structures: Cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus
    • Differences: Plant cells contain cell walls, chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles, while animal cells may contain smaller vacuoles.

    Preparing a Wet Mount

    • Gather a clean cover slip, glass slide, eyedropper, tweezers, and water.
    • Place one drop of water on the center of a glass slide.
    • Use tweezers to place a specimen (e.g., a letter "e") on the water drop
    • Carefully place a cover slip over the specimen, avoiding air bubbles.

    Preparing and Viewing a Cell Specimen

    • Remove the skin from an onion.
    • Prepare a wet mount using the onion skin.
    • View and sketch your observations using different magnification levels.

    Viewing Plant and Animal Cells

    • Electron microscopes show more cellular structures than light microscopes.
    • Cells are composed of specialized structures called organelles.
    • The organelles have specific cellular functions such as movement, growth and energy transformation.

    Cells in Multicellular Organisms

    • Unicellular organisms exist as a single cell.
    • Multicellular organisms are composed of multiple cells.
    • Cells work in concert as tissues, organs and organ systems, for organism function.
    • Cells reproduce to replace damaged cells or to support growth of the organism.

    Tissues in Plants

    • Plant cells are organized into tissues.
    • These include photosynthetic, protective, and transport tissues.

    Effects of Different Solutions on Cells

    • Saltwater solutions cause water to leave the cells.
    • Cells in pure water take in water, resulting in expansion.
