1. Which part of the microscope controls the amount of light passing through the specimen?
Coarse adjustment knob
Fine adjustment knob
Diaphragm
Revolving nosepiece
2. Before switching to a higher power objective lens, what should always be done?
Adjust the coarse adjustment knob
Ensure the specimen is in focus under low power
Clean the eyepiece with a paper towel
Add more immersion oil
3. The total magnification of a microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnification of the lens.
4. When observing a stained specimen, the area that appears darkest is typically where the stain has concentrated the most, highlighting specific .
5. Describe the correct procedure for bringing a specimen into focus under a compound light microscope, starting from the lowest power objective lens.
