Hypothesis
|
Possible answer to a proposed question. "educated guess"
|
|
Null Hypothesis
|
States that the treatment has no effect on the outcome of the experiment
|
|
Independent Variable
|
can be manipulated or changed by the researcher
|
|
Dependent Variable
|
the observed (measured or counted) outcome of the test; what happens to the dependent variable "depends" on what is manipulated in the independent variable
|
|
Control Variable
|
All other variables that must remain constant during the test
|
|
Control Group
|
the group of test subjects left untreated or unexposed to some procedure and then compared with treated subjects in order to validate the results of the experiment
|
|
Experimental Group
|
the group that is given the one differing variable, the independent variable
|
|
Scientific Meathod
|
1. Making Observations
2. Asking Questions 3. Proposing Answers(Hypothesis or educated guess) 4. Testing the Hypothesis 5. Accepting or rejecting the hypothesis 6. Repeating the test- other scientists should be able to produce the same results |

|
Ocular
|
lens nearest the eye
|
|
body tube
|
keeps ocular and objective lenses at proper distance from each other
|
|
nosepiece
|
permits interchange of low, medium, and high power objectives
|
|
pointer
|
found in ocular, can be moved by turning the black eyepiece
|
|
arm
|
supports body tube and adjustment knobs
|
|
objectives
|
contains lenses of various magnification
|
|
coarse adjustment
|
changes the distance between the slide and the objective to focus an image
|
|
fine adjustment
|
permits exact focusing
|

|
iris diaphragm
|
regulates amount of light going through specimen
|
|
illuminator
|
provides light source
|
|
magnigication
|
tells how much larger the object appears under the scope than it actually is.
|
|
magnifying power of ocular
|
10X
|
|
Field of view
|
the circular field you see when you look through the ocular
|
|
Depth of focus
|
the thickness of an object that is all in sharp focus at the same time
|
|
working distance
|
space between the slide and the objective
|
|
does the working distance increase or decrease as the magnification increases?
|
decrease
|
|
Does the light intensity increase or decrease as the magnification increases?
|
decrease
