The first activity in the lab was about the microscope and I leaned a lot of things related to it.The entire class was required to analyzed the wet mount and dye specimen by using compound microscopes. I found that activity very excited because I haven 't touched a microscope since I was in middle school. The microscope is a very relevant optical tool which is used to observe and analyzed very small specimens.These specimens can be from animal, plants or human being oriented. The microscope used a combination of ocular and objective lenses that produce magnified images of the small objects. In order to analyze the specimens mentioned above in class last week students must understand the various powers of the …show more content…
The images sometimes became blurry because the specimens got so larger and the resolution was not good enough.Moreover, the total magnification of the specimens were determined by multiplying the ocular lens power by the objective lens. For instance a 10x ocular lens and a 4x objective lead to a total magnification of 40x. In addition In order to know about the inversion 's causes of a specimen, students must know that it is due to the combination of lens involve during the magnification process. This occurred when a light source underneath the objects projected light upward trough the objects and into the objective lenses. Moreover,To identify the parfocal of the specimens trough this microscope students must know how to set adequately the ocular and objective lenses not to affect the focus of the objects. Also the working distance had to be well set from the front lens specimens of the objective to the closest area of the specimens focus. Since, it determined the clear field of view or the clear wide area view of the specimens.So, the wet mount, dyes specimens and the anImal cells, and the letter "e" …show more content…
Since my classmate and me focused only on the scanning power we realized that the shape of the individual cheek cell are thickness , flat and irregular. The thickness of a cheek told us that a cell is unique for its functions. So it is perfect to cover the cheek with a large nucleons that produce moisture in the oral cavity, and mocus as it suppose to. The moisture in the oral cavity facilitates the swallowing and digestion of an individual. In the scanning power the cheek image 's nucleus was not centrally or peripherally located because we analyzed it through a scanning power with a poor adjustment of the coarse knob. So, the image was affected and misinterpreted. That is why when the cells spreader out my classmate and me could see just three layers of cheek cells. I think the that natural cheek structure contain just one layer of cells because they fit together and divide it every 24 hours to constantly shed from the body.The fact is that another function of the cheek cells is to to fit together to make a thin covering layer in order to protect organism from bacteria. So, that is why the natural cheek structure contains only one layer. I think the reason why my classmate and I thought the cheek cells have more than one layers was as I said before due to the low magnification power in the scanning process which disturbed it the
