Animal Cell
|
An animal cell consists of a cell membrane, the cytoplasm, and a nucleus. This type of cell can only be found in animals. The nucleus is like the brain of the cell.

|
|
Arm (Microscope)
|
it holds the microscope together, connects the base & stage with the tube.
|
|
|
Atoms
|
Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter that make up everyday objects. A desk, the air, even you are made up of atoms!
|
|
|
Buoyancy
|
Tendency of an object in a fluid to rise or sink due to density differences with its surroundings.

|
Eyepiece
|
Lens of a microscope that magnifies the specimen, usually by 10 times.
|
|
|
Field of View
|
Sometimes abbreviated "FOV", it is the diameter of the circle of light that you see when looking into a microscope.

|
Fine Focus Knob
|
This is the knob used to fine tune the focus on the specimen.
|
|
|
Flow
|
To move with a continual change of place among the particles or parts, as a fluid; to change place or circulate, as a liquid; as, rivers flow from springs and lakes; tears flow from the eyes.
|
|
|
Flow Rate
|
Measure the speed at which a fluid flows from one point to another; determined by measuring the amount of fluid that flows past a given point in a given time
