Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The type of microscope which is used to study the change in form of white blood cells.
Concept introduction: Microscopy is the use of microscope to see an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Light microscopy uses the light to view the specimen but, in electron microscopy, a beam of electron is used to view the specimen. With the help of light microscope, it can be possible to view different cell types, bacteria, algae, and
(b)
To determine: The type of microscope which is used to study the surface texture of a hair.
Concept introduction: Microscopy is the use of microscope to see an object that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Light microscopy uses the light to view the specimen but, in electron microscopy, a beam of electron is used to view the specimen. With the help of light microscope, it can be possible to view different cell types, bacteria, algae, and fungi. Scanning electron microscope is used for topographical and compositional study of a sample.

- What are the advantages and disadvantages of light, transmission, and scanning electron microscopes?arrow_forwardExplain fine structure mapping?arrow_forwarda. When buying a microscope, what features are most important tocheck for?b. What is probably true of a $20 microscope that claims to magnify1,000×?arrow_forward
- Which type of microscopy allows us to clearly view the internal contents of cell structures smaller than 200 nm?arrow_forwardIn your everyday life, you have probably noticed that certain instruments are ideal for certain situations. For example, you would use a spoon rather than a fork to eat soup because a spoon is shaped for scooping, while soup would slip between the tines of a fork. The use of ideal instruments also applies in science. In what situation(s) would the use of a light microscope be ideal, and why?arrow_forward1)You can see something at 10x but not at 40x or 100x, what do you do? 2)Your microscope has light, the slide looks like it's in the right place, but you can't fully focus on the smear. Do you move up to the next magnification? Explain why?arrow_forward
- How are images focused under fluorescence microscope visualized?arrow_forwardtopic: cheek cells 1. why are stains such as methylene blue used when observing cells under the microscope?arrow_forwardIf I also observe something let's say if I was I was 50 nm inside which microscope would you recommend me using? In the image is that the correct answer to the questionarrow_forward
