- Which of the following is true about the relationship between depth of field and magnification? There is no relationship. When magnification increases, depth of field decreases. When magnification increases, depth of field increases. Stereomicroscopes offer a lesser depth of field than compound microscopes. The depth of field of a microscope determines how much magnification it can achieve.arrow_forwardExplain when to use bright-field, phase-contrast, dark-field, fluorescence, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopy for a given situation. What is an example of this situation?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is FALSE? Question options: increasing wavelength improves ones ability to view microscopic structures increasing resolution can improve ones ability to view microscopic structures increasing magnification can improve ones ability to view microscopic structures all of these statements re TRUE increasing contrast can imporove ones ability to view microscopic structures oil immersion can increase the resolution of light microscopesarrow_forward

I. It is the observable area within a circular space as defined by the lenses II. FOV is the smallest on the lowest power objective III. FOV is the maximum area visible through the microscope eyepiece IV. When you switch to a higher power, the field of zooms out towards the centerarrow_forwardShown below are several micrographs (images from microscopes) that were taken using different microscopy techniques. Write down what method of microscopy was used and why you thought so. Choices for microscopy techniques are: Transmitted Light Microscopy (techniques of brightfield, phase-contrast, darkfield, DIC all fall under this), Fluorescence Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Transmission Electron Microscopy.arrow_forward
