Biology 107 Lab Sample Quiz
Table 1. Characteristics of the objective lenses on a light microscope.

*Use a wavelength of light of 565nm for your calculation
1. The following is a drawing of a virus. What is its actual size?
2. Would this virus be seen under a light microscope? Why?
Since the virus has a spherical shape, it's size is determined by the actual diameter, which in this case is 40 nm
The magnification is equal to the image size divided by the actual size:

Therefore this virus can't be seen with an ordinary light microscope, because it's total magnification is only as big as 1000x as shown in the table
1. Name at least 3 ways you can control the amount of light that reaches the ocular lens. 2. Define resolution. What is the limit of resolution for the light microscope? 3. What effect does the wavelength of light used have on resolution? 4. If you view a bacterial smear under the oil immersion lens, but forget to add oil, will the image still be just about as clear as if you had added the oil. 5. Define parfocal. 6....
C. Answer the following questions as they relate to the microscope. What is the difference between magnification and resolution? Why are both necessary for microscopy? What is the function of the oil used with the oil-immersion lens? What is the effect of omitting it? Why is it imperative to promptly remove any oil that has accidentally spilled on the other non-immersion lenses? D. Examination of Living Bacteria From your observation of the hay infusion, draw and describe what you have...
What percentage of the light (assuming uniform and symmetric emission) is collected from a point source in air using a microscope objective with a NA = 0.45? NA = 1? The NA are given relative to air. In the calculation for part a, what would your values be in water? You are setting up an absorption measurement in your laboratory and need to select the optics you will use. The molecule of interest absorbs at 455 nm, and you have...
Light of wavelength 589 nm is used to view an object under a microscope. The objective lens of the microscope is the lens that gathers light from the object being observed and focuses the light rays in order to form an image of the object. It acts as the aperture of the system, determining its resolution. In this case, the objective lens is circular, of diameter 0.95 cm. Assuming that the resolution of the microscope depends solely on the diffractive...
Constanta Part A If you use light of this wavelength, what would be the energy (in eV) of a single photon? To investigate the structure of extremely small objects, such as viruses, the wavelength of the probing wave should be about one-tenth the size of the object for sharp images. But as the wavelength gets shorter, the energy of a photon of light gets greater and could damage or destroy the object being studied. One alternative is to use electron...

If f78 and 1/125 (s) gives the (s) under the same lighting condition? proper exposure, what f-stop number should be used with 1/500 a) fi4 c)f116 a) You choose a bigger f/# pth of field (DOF) without changing the exposure, you do which of the following? c) You 32. Which of the following is NOT TRUE for a Keplerian telescope? b) You increase the shutter speed. d) You choose a wide-angle camera lens....
You have discovered a new virus and you decide to estimate its size by using a series of filters. There is no loss of activity when you pass suspension of your virus through a 0.3µm filter, there is a 1 log decrease in activity upon passage through a 0.1-µm filter, and there is a total loss of the remaining activity upon passage through the 0.05-µm filter. What would be your conclusions?
1. Fill out the following table by indicating which general technique (light microscopy (LM) or electron microscopy (EM]) could be used to observe each structure or phenomenon. Put "no" in the box if the technique could not be used. If light microscopy can be used, name one technique (bright-field, phase-contrast, fluorescence, etc.) that you think would be effective. You will find some useful information in Appendix 1 of this manual and Chapter 18 of your textbook. Structure or phenomenon Could...
EXERCISE 1:USE AND CARE OF THE MICROS D CARE OF THE MICROSCOPE 11. Alter use, remove the slide, wipe oil of it, put dist cover on the microscope, and return it to the designated area. 12. When a problem does with the microscope obtain help from the instructor. Do not use other microscope unless yours is declared out of action." FIGURE 14 Focusing the condenser. () Ching low power, lower the condenser til distinct circle of light is visible. Cester...
please please help with all of them no thorough explanation needed! 5. Select the most appropriate answer. When using a dichotomous key outside to identify unknown organisms one should A. not remove parts of the plant or disrupt the ecosystem B. be aware of hazards such as ticks and poison ivy C. should write down the steps followed on the key. D. Be aware that your best attempts to identify a specimen might be disrupted by the presence of sexual...
