Microscopy exam 1 questions with
complete solutions
light microscope - ANSWERSmicroscope that uses a beam of light passing through one or more
lenses to magnify an object
electron microscopes - ANSWERSuse beams of electrons, rather than light, to produce images
atomic force microscope - ANSWERScan produce images of individual atoms on a surface
Polarized Light Microscopy - ANSWERSdesigned to observe materials internal structured due to
their optical characteristics
molecular biology research, hospital labs, forensic labs, chemistry labs - ANSWERSwhere is
fluorescence microscopy used?
fluorescence - ANSWERSthe process of visible, or invisible radiation emitted upon exposure of
the molecules to shorter wavelength incident radiation
the process of absorbing shorter wavelength light and emitting longer wavelength light
Aztecs, magic wood, Bernardino de Sahagun - ANSWERSharvest a wood with deep red color and
made bowls and cups out of it
L. Nephriticum (kidney wood) water with a bluish tinge and could relieve urinary aliments
, Mataline
epipolic dispersion - ANSWERSa blue glow from solutions of quinine sulfite
Gabriel stokes - ANSWERSfather of fluorescence
described "epipolic dispersion" in 1852
Quinine sulfate emitted light not due to reflection or refraction
coined term fluorescence
electromagnetic spectrum - ANSWERSAll of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic
radiation
the visible spectrum the human eye can detect is a small fraction of the entire electromagnetic
spectrum
high frequency - ANSWERShave shorter wavelegnths
UV, X-rays, gamma-rays
longer wavelength - ANSWERShave low frequency
FM, radio-waves, AM, microwaves, IR
light - ANSWERShas wave-like properties
