D.This may be toxic to the sample to be observed.
Suppose you measure the scanning (4x) field of vision diameter with a stage micrometer and it is 2 mm. If high power is 40X, and gives 10X more magnification than scanning power, how big will the diameter of the field of vision be using high power?

Tunnel vision and night blindness are unrelated conditions. b. The high density of rod photoreceptors in the fovea are unaffected in each condition. c. The highest resolution cone photoreceptors are found exclusively in the outer regions of the retina. d. The color-detecting cone photoreceptors have the greatest density in the outer regions of the retina. e. The highly-sensitive rod photoreceptors are located in the outer regions of the retina.arrow_forward

Red b. Black c. Purple d. Green e. Deep bluearrow_forward
- Suppose you conduct direct visible spectrophotometry with red fruit punch as your solution. Which wavelengths of light would you expect to be strongly absorbed? Which wavelengths are not strongly absorbed? Explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the contributions of rods and cones to vision is TRUE? A. The three types of cones (long, medium, short) are represented at roughly equal numbers B. Rods respond to light at ultra-violet wavelengths (>600nm) C. The relative density of cones is roughly even throughout the retina D. The greater sensitivity of rods in low light is explained by their larger number E. Several rods converge on a single bipolar cellarrow_forwardIn an experiment of analysis of bovine serum albumin the spectrophotometer will be set to measure the light absorbed at 595 nm only, rather than a variety of different wavelengths of light. If you have measured the light absorbed at 580 nm for all of samples instead, how does it affect your results and consequently final result? Explain your answers in details.arrow_forward
