1. 10 X objective gives most details of a specimen.

2. Largest field of view is 4 X.

3. Light is needed for the microscope to work.

4. If a specimen measures 3 cm, and when it is magnified,

            it measures 9 cm, the power of magnification is 3 X.  If a specimen measures

             5 cm, and when it is magnified, it measures 25 cm, the power of magnification is 5 X.

5. Convex lenses can change how you see the image.  Sometimes 

it’s larger; sometimes smaller, sometimes smaller and inverted.

6. Eyes, magnifying lenses,  and microscopes have lenses.

7. Objective on the microscope refracts light.

8. A wide lens refracts light the most…like a convex ens.

9. When viewing an object, a convex lens makes the object

appear larger, a concave lens makes the object appear smaller, and glass slides make it appear

the same.

10.   Magnify means make larger.

11.   Resolution means the image is clear and easy to see.

12.   The total magnification of the 10 X objective and the 10X eyepiece is 100X.

13.   Low objective gives the greatest field of view.

14.   When an image is reflected, it looks backward.  For example, an “F”.
