Question
7
of 25
Two parts of the microscope that regulate the amount of light visible through the ocular are the:
fine and coarse adjustment knobs
ocular and objective lenses
illuminator and revolving nosepiece
condenser and iris diaphragm
Question
8

Question
11
of 25
Which of the following describes proper microscope care and technique.
Be sure to carry the microscope upright, with one hand on the arm and the other under the base.
To protect the optics of the microscope, place it down gently and don’t drag it across the tabletop.
Always begin focusing with the lowest power lens available.
Only use the coarse focus knob with the scanning and low power lenses.
All the above are examples of correct microscope care and technique.
Question
12
of 25
Turning which of the following knobs moves the objective lenses the greatest vertical distance?
coarse focus knob
fine focus knob
Question
13
of 25
Resolution is the ability to see two objects as separate.
True
False
Question
14
of 25
Which of the following regulates the amount of light passing through the slide specimen on the microscope stage?
nosepiece
objective lens
iris diaphragm lever
fine focus knob
Question
15
of 25
An increase in magnification causes
a decrease in the field of view.
a decrease in the working distance.
a decrease in the depth of field.
all of the above.
Question
16
of 25
Working distance is the
distance from your house to your job.
distance the microscope nosepiece travels using the coarse focus knob.
distance from the bottom of the objective lens to the specimen.
distance the specimen can travel across the microscope stage.
Question
17
of 25
When
adjusting a binocular microscope for differences between right and left
eyes, focus the microscope with the fine adjustment while viewing only
with the right eye (fixed ocular).
True
False
Question
18
of 25
When using the oil immersion lens, you should raise the objective lenses for easy application of an oil droplet to the slide.
True
False
Question
19
of 25
Why
must a small object seen through the ocular lens be centered in the
field of view, before changing to a higher power objective lens?
to prevent damage to the objective lens
to compensate for the decrease in resolving power of the lens
to prevent its disappearance due to the decrease in the field of view
to prevent eyestrain
Question
20
of 25
A
parfocal microscope allows you to quickly focus using the low power or
scanning lens and then, to switch to a higher power lens with only a
minimal adjustment of the fine focus knob.
True
False
Question
21
of 25
Why is it necessary to adjust the amount of light after changing objective lenses?
Higher magnification lenses require more light.
Proper lighting is needed to see specimen details.
The lens aperture decreases with higher magnification lenses.
All of the above.
Question
22
of 25
Which objective would you use to locate a specimen on a slide?
lowest power available
high power
oil immersion
any of the ojectives could be used with equal success
Question
23
of 25
Which of the following parts of the microscope would increase the depth of field?
ocular
high power objective
fine focus
low power objective
Question
