Eyepiece

The slide used during the Microscope Lab was a wet-mount slide which was used in order to view the specimens from the microscope. A wet-mount is a method for preparing specimens to view using a microscope. A myriad of specimens look better when placed in a drop of water on the microscope slide. The water supports the sample and fills the space between the coverslip and the slide. This allows light to pass easily through the slide, the sample, and the coverslip. Scientists use the wet-mount…

make sense of how it functions just by looking at pictures of it. An interior view of the Kinetoscope shows film wrapped around a number of wheels below an eyepiece, leading through another series of wheels that create vertical parallel rows of film, and running back towards the eyepiece. Although the film appears to pass beneath the eyepiece located at the crown of the contraption, I wanted to research this object for my response paper because the mechanics were difficult to make sense of at…

Review, identify, and describe anatomical plane terminology. Figure 1.2 Superior- Higher Inferior- Lower Distal- Further away from the midline Proximal- Closer to the midline Posterior (dorsal)- Back Anterior (ventral)- Front Medial- towards the mid line Lateral- Away from the midline The dog is inferior to the girl. The dog’s posterior is anterior to the girl. The dogs leash is superior to his collar. The girl left leg is distal to her right leg. Her left arm is distal from her body holding…

The first part of the experiment required one to trace the light rays going through a converging and diverging lenses. By setting up the light source towards the end of the paper and placing the lenses about 5 cm in front of the light the focal distances were found to be 14 cm for the converging lens and -5.5cm for the diverging lens. These focal distances theoretically make since because the converging lens causes the light rays to combine in front of the lens making it positive and the…

Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch Mathematician and Scientist in the late 17th century. It becomes difficult at this stage to be any more specific than that, as his achievements are in fields so varied and so far-reaching that the only description of him that fits is ‘polymath’. Indeed, we are only learning of some achievements today, as his reticence to publish many of his works kept many of them from seeing the light of day for quite some time (Igorevich). He was born in the cold April of 1626 in…

Have you ever¬ stared at the night sky and wondered what the universe looks like up close? If you thought that our world was as small as Earth, that’s nothing compared to the universe that can be explored with a Hubble telescope and the radio telescope. Space craft and technology provides the world with astronomical information, discovering information that is beyond our capabilities on Earth capabilities to discover with our eyes alone. Two major telescopes that have been in orbit around the…

The scope is waterproof, making it ideal to use in wet conditions. It allows the maximum amount of light in the scope, so you’ll have a better view of your target. The quick-focus eyepiece is ideal for any hunter or sportsman. The mounting system allows you to use a quick release to set your sights on nearby targets. You can control the reticle illumination with a dial to change the brightness intensity. It’s ideal for any hunter…

Biology is the study of living or deceased organisms (Biology Department, 2015). There are two overarching classes to these organisms: prokaryotes and eukaryotes (Reece et al., 2014). Prokaryotes (meaning before nucleus) are put in two domains: Bacteria and Archea (Biology Department, 2015). Eukaryotes on the other hand, (which have nuclei), are in the Eukarya domain and encompass all other organisms such as plants, animals, fungi and protists (Biology Department, 2015). The most effective way…

microscope equipped with modules to internally separate the different wavelengths of light, and direct them to respective detection channels. Its main components include a light source, an objective, a filter cube and a detection unit, which can be an eyepiece or a camera (Fig.1). Filter cube is a component which separates a fluorescence microscope from a light microscope. It consists of one excitation filter, one emission filter and a dichroic or dichromatic mirror (Fig. 2) Dichromatic mirror…

Condenser – a lens that focuses and aligns the light from the lamp to the specimen. * Diaphragm – is located in the light path to modify the measure of light reaching the condenser. * Objective lens – intakes the light from the specimen. * Eyepiece – to transmit and enlarge the image from the objective lens to your…
