The Greek word “Mikrós” means___

To look or see

The Greek word “skopeîn”

Microscopy

Science of investigating small objects and structures using such an instrument

Types of scanning microscope (4)

Compound microscope

Also known as high power microscope, achieves higher levels of magnification than a stereo or low power microscope

-head/body


-base


-arm

3 basic structural components of a compound microscope

Head/body

Houses the optical part of the upper microscope

Base

Supports the microscope and houses the illuminator

Arm

Connects to the base and supports the microscope head

Eyepiece or Ocular

Is what you look through at the top of the microscope

Eyepiece tube

Holds the eyepiece in place above the objective lens

Objective lenses

Primery optical lenses on a microscope. Range from 4x-100x

Nosepiece

Houses the objectives

Course and Fine Focus Knobs

Used to focus the microscope

Stage

Where the specimen is to be viewed is placed

Stage clips

Holds the sample in place

Aperture

Hole in the stage through which the base light reaches the stage

illuminator

Light source of microscope

Condenser

Used to collect and focus the light from the illuminator (found underneath stage)

Iris Diaphragm

Controls the amount of light reaching the specimen (found underneath stage)

Condenser focus knob

Moves the condenser up or down

(objective lens magnification) x (magnification of eyepiece; 10)



Ex. 4x • 10 = 40

how to calculate total magnification

Nucleopore

in nucleus, nuclear membrane is perforated with holes

Angiosperm

-Largest & most diverse group within the kingdom plantae


-VASCULAR SEED PLANTS

exposed; born outside exposed on the surfaces of reproductive structures

leaves

principal sites for most angiospermous plants

aceae and -ales

angiosperms scientific family name end in____ & _____

root


stem


leaves

The basic angiosperm body (3)

Root

Anchors a plant, absorb water and minerals, and provide a storage are for food

primary root


adventitious root

2 basic types of root systems

primary root system

Most common type of root system, consists of taproot the grows vertically downward

Adventitious Root System

Short-lived and is replaced or supplemented by many roots that form from the stem

Root Apical MERISTEM or Root apex

small region at the tip of a root in which all cells are capable of repeated division and from which all primary root tissues are derived

Stem

aerial axis of the plant that bears leaves and flowers and conducts waters and minerals from the roots and food from the site of synthesis to areas where it is to be used

Stem

aerial axis of the plant that bears leaves and flowers and conducts waters and minerals from the roots and food from the site of synthesis to areas where it is to be used

Hypocotyl

-transition region of stem


-embryonic axis that bears the seedling leaves

Node

area where a leaf attaches to the stem is called a ___
