A student was observing a filament of blue green bacteria under low power (60X). The diameter of the field is 2.4 mm. At this magnification, the student was able to count 40 cells in a row across the middle of the field of view. a. What would be the average length of each cell? b. If the student switched to high power (600X), about how many cells would be seen

Assume you are observing the diatom pictured in Figure 1 using the 10X lens in a compound light microscope. You move to the 40X lens and then again to the 100X lens by only rotating the turret (remember that the lenses are parfocal), without making any other adjustments to the microscope. At 100X you are unable to see the diatom. Explain why. Explain what correction (s) should be made to allow you to see the diatom using the 100X lens. After making your adjustments, you notice that the midline of the diatom is in focus while the remainder is blurry. Explain, based on microscopy principles, why this has occurred.
