Study Notes
Microscope
- "Microscope" comes from the words "micro" and "scope"
- "micro" - means small or tiny
- "scope" - means to view or observe
- Microscopes are instruments to see tiny things
Onion Cell
- A typical plant cell
- Polyhedral cells with rounded angles
- Wide lumen
- Without intercellular spaces
Microscope Components
- Eyepiece tube places the eyepiece and objective lenses within a distance range to generate in-focus images
- Monocular - one eyepiece
- Binocular - two eyepieces
- Trinocular - three eyepieces
Objective Lenses
- Low Power Objective Lens (10x) - more magnification power than the scanning objective lens
- High Power Objective Lens - carefully focus by only using the fine knob
Illuminator
- The light source for a microscope, typically located in the base of the microscope.
