____ Microscope is used to observe very small specimen and colorless specimen on a dark background.

Dark field microscope.

______ this is the most commonly used microscope, a compound microscope with two or more lenses that produce a dark image on a bright background.

Bright field microscope.

____ This is a bright field microscope that has a small but significant modification to the condenser, a small, opaque disc is place between the illuminator and the condenser lens. It blocks most of the light from the illuminator as it passes through the condenser on the way to the objective lens, producing a hollow cone of light that is focused on the specimen. The resulting image typically shows right objects on a dark background.

Dark field microscope.

_____ This type of microscope uses refraction and interference caused by some structures in a specimen to create high contrast, high resolution images without staining. This is the oldest and simplest type of microscope. It creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen.

Con focal microscope.

What is the difference between a simple microscope and a compound microscope?

A simple microscope uses only one magnifying lens whereas a compound microscope contains more than one magnifying lens.

Why is oil immersion used to view specimen with the 100x objective of a compound microscope.

At very high magnification, resolution may be compromised when light passes through the small amount of air between the specimen and the lens. The air scatters the light rays before they can be focused by the lens. A drop of oil can be used to fill the space between the specimen and an oil immersion lens. Because the oil has a refractive index very similar to that of glass, it increases the maximum angle at which light leaving a specimen can strike the lens.
