STUDY GUIDE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
◉ Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Answer: - used to observe
thin sections of the material
- increases magnification by passing a beam of electrons
◉ Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Answer: used to observe small
organisms
- uses a beam of electrons to bounce the electrons off specimen to
produce an image (3D)
◉ working distance. Answer: distance between objective lens and
specimen
◉ total magnification formula. Answer: objective lens ( 4,10,40) x
ocular lens (10)
◉ stage. Answer: Supports the slide being viewed
, ◉ objective lens. Answer: a series of lenses that house the second lens
system: scanning(4x), low-power (10x), high-power (40x), and oil
immerison 100x)
◉ ocular lens (eyepiece). Answer: lens that you look through
◉ coarse adjustment knob. Answer: Moves the stage up and down for
focusing (larger knob)
◉ fine adjustment knob. Answer: Moves the stage slightly to sharpen the
image (smaller knob)
◉ Diaphragm. Answer: Regulates the amount of light on the specimen
(under the stage)
◉ revolving nosepiece. Answer: Holds and turns the objectives into
viewing position
◉ Condenser. Answer: focuses light through the specimen
◉ stage clips. Answer: Holds the slide in place
