    Study Notes

    Using a Light Microscope

    • To adjust the brightness use the mirror
    • To adjust the clarity of the image use the focus knob
    • Objective lenses are used to magnify the samples
    • To use a light microscope:
      • Turn the turret to the lowest power objective lens
      • Place the slide on the stage and secure with the stage clips
      • Carefully turn the focus knob to move the objective lens closer to the slide, stopping before they touch
      • Look through the eyepiece
      • Turn the focus knob until the image is clear
      • Adjust the mirror to reflect more light if necessary
      • Turn the turret to the medium power objective lens and refocus
      • When finished, move the objective lens away from the stage using the focus knob and remove the slide from the stage

    Cell Drawings

    • Onion cells
      • D is the best drawing of onion cells as it shows the correct structure
      • A shows a partially correct cell but misses the cell wall
      • C is partially incorrect as it has no cell wall, but the cell membrane is visible
      • B is incorrect as is shows no cell wall and the nucleus is incorrect
    • Animal Cells
      • A is the best drawing of animal cells as it shows the correct structure
      • C is partially correct, with a visible nucleus
      • B is partially incorrect, with the nucleus being too large
      • D is incorrect as it shows the nucleus too large and there is no cell membrane
    • Bacteria Cells
      • D is the best drawing of bacterial cells as it shows the correct structure: a single cell without a nucleus, and the correct shape
      • C is partially correct as it shows a round shape, but it includes a nucleus
      • B is partially correct as it shows a long shape, but it includes a nucleus
      • A is incorrect, as it has a nucleus and a cell membrane, and it is not the correct shape
