BIOD 171 MODULE 1& 3 COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION 2024
BIOD 171 MODULE 1& 3 COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION 2024 Resolution and contrast are two critical factors that influence your ability to see an object. Explain each. Resolution refers to the distance between two objects at which the objects can still be seen as separate. Poor or low resolution means two or more objects may appear as one. Contrast on the other hand is the difference in light absorbance between two objects. Poor contrast gives a high background and makes the visualization of multiple objects difficult. For instance, trying to identify 2 dark colored objects at night (low light = low contrast) versus the same 2 objects in the middle of a sunny afternoon (bright light against 2 dark objects = high contrast). Assuming a fixed ocular, identify the part of the microscope you would adjust to enhance the magnification of a sample. Objective Only the oculars (eyepiece) and the objectives contribute to the magnification of the sample. Since the eyepiece is fixed, only the objectives could be altered. Assuming a constant (non-adjustable) light source power, identify the part of the microscope you would adjust to limit the amount of light entering the microscope. Iris diaphragm
