In April of 2015‚ the Hubble Space Telescope celebrated the 25th anniversary of its launch from the Kennedy Space Center in 1990. Despite its success‚ Hubble has seen its share of setbacks throughout its history. Astronomer Lyman Spitzer Jr. first conceived the idea of a telescope in space in 1947‚ but it took another thirty years before it came true (Overbye). After twelve years of building‚ Hubble was ready‚ and was set to launch in 1983. However‚ technical delays forced the launch to be pushed

Lab Title: Microscopy Objective: To learn how to use and care for a microscope and to know the parts of a compound microscope and to efficiently use the microscope to focus on specimen. Introduction A microscope is an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects‚ typically magnified several hundred times. It consist of different lenses such as: Scanning = 4X‚ Low power = 10X‚ High power = 40 or 43X‚ Oil Immersion = 100X. A microscope is an instrument

A microscope (from the Ancient Greek: μικρός‚ mikrós‚ "small" and σκοπεῖν‚ skopeîn‚ "to look" or "see") is an instrument used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye. The science of investigating small objects using such an instrument is called microscopy.Microscopic means invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope. There are many types of microscopes‚ the most common and first to be invented is theoptical microscope which uses light to image the sample. Other major types of microscopes

Light Microscopy Lab Lab write-up 1 Parveen Rajper Biology 101 Principles of Biology 1 September 29‚ 2012 Introduction: The light microscope helps see the microscopic world that the naked eye cannot see. If there were no microscopes in the world‚ than it would be very difficult to understand the many particles that surround the living world. The purpose of this lab experiment is to become familiar with a microscope. It is hypothesized that it will be difficult

Laboratory Report: Observing Bacteria Purpose: Is to gain knowledge on how to use a microscope and oil immersion lens while observing prepared bacterial slides and also to prepare slides for observable bacteria culture from yogart. Procedure: Exercise 1: Using the Microscope - Viewing Prepared Slides I started out by reading and reviewed the science lab safety reinforcement Agreement and the instruction to oil immersion lens. After setting up my lab station I view the six prepared slides

Definition of the parts of the microscope 1. Stage The horizontal surface upon which the slide is placed is called the stage. The slide is held in place by spring loaded clips and moved around the stage by turning the geared knobs on the stage. Th stage has two perpendicular scales that can be used to record the position of an object on a slide. This is useful if you want to quickly relocate an object. 2. Coarse adjustment The coarse adjustment knob located on the arm of the microscope

1) The condenser lens concentrates light and makes illumination of image more uniform. 2) The bending of light is also known as refraction. 3) Total magnification = ocular lens magnification x objective lens magnification. 4) The total magnification of an image is 1200x and the magnification of the ocular lens is 10x. What is the magnification of the objective lens? Y = objective lens 1200x = 10x X y 1200x / 10x = y y = 120x Objective lens magnification = 120x 5) The limit of resolution

BIO Microscopy‚ Mitosis‚ and Motility Lab Discussion Questions In the Microscopy‚ Mitosis‚ and Motility lab‚ the class used the Compound Microscope. The Compound Microscope helped examine the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells‚ observe the different stages of mitosis‚ and compare modes of motility used by protists. The light compound microscope works with the aid of lenses such as the eyepiece. These lenses help keep the focus of the light on the eye. The fine and course adjustments also assist with
