while viewing a slide with the $X objective lens, you notice an interesting specimen and would like to zoom in on it. You switch to the 40X objective lens. However, your specimen is no longer seen in the field of view even after adjusting focus. What happened. How could you prevent this?

Expert Solution

The light refracted or bent when it is passed from one object to other such as from air to a glass slide. The space between the microscope objective lens and the slide is filled with air and the light is refracted and scatters and it is lost. This is because of difference in refractive index of air and glass slide. The refractive index of air is approximately 1.0, while the refractive index of glass is approximately 1.5. The refraction of light at different wavelengths result in different angles thus, the objects are magnified as big.

Using a lower magnification microscope objective lense such as 4x or 10x, or 40x mau result in the light refraction which is not usually noticeable. When using the 100x objective lens, the light refraction through dry lens is noticeable. Reducing the amount of light refraction allows more light to pass through the microscope slide and will be directed through the very narrow diameter of a higher power objective lens. More light produces more clear image. Usings immersion oil having refractive index equal to that of the glass slide allows more light is directed through the objective and a clearer image is observed. Therefore, when switched from 4X objective to 40X objective, the refraction of light becomes more and image is not clear.

1) What objective lens is best when you are first starting out on a slide? 2) What does 'Par focal' mean? Why is it useful? 3) The equation for the Numerical Aperture is NA=nsinθ. What does 'n' stand for? What does 'θ' stand for? If we want to get a better resolution, should we increase or decrease these values? Feel free to refer back to the lecture slides.

Using the letter “e” slide and the 4x (scanning) objective lens: Using the circle on the right, draw the letter “e” exactly as it appears under the 4x objective lens. Note that you can snap a photo with a smartphone or take a screenshot of your computer screen of the 4x image instead of drawing it here. Label the photograph as “3a” and include it with your submitted work if you choose to use this method. What is the total...

Patient safety is of utmost importance. While you are completing an admission, you notice a number of unusual bruises and several abrasions on the patient. After reviewing the module resources, consider how you would approach the topic with the patient. What barriers prohibit the patient from opening up regarding the abuse, and how can you address these barriers through the assessment process? What is your responsibility if you suspect abuse? What educational resources are available to you as a nurse...

1) Suppose you install an objective lens that gives the microscope a total magnification of 360x. What is the total magnification of this objective lens? 2) Ocular and objective lenses are available in many different magnifications. Give at least two combinations of ocular and objective lenses that would each give a total magnification of 300x.

Suppose you notice that the April gold futures price is $1,520, while that for December is $1,540 (both prices are per ounce). Historically, this spread has been around $15. Suggest a trading strategy that you might set up in the hope that the spread would revert to its historical level next month. ( I need a clear and detail answer please)

Describe what you learned about gang life (or found most interesting about gang life) from viewing the video World’s Most Dangerous Gang. Don’t focus a lot on numerical information (like how many gang members are in a particular gang). Most of your focus should be on discussing how MS-13 compares to the Black Kings gang that was discussed in Gang Leader for a Day. Mention both some similarities between the two gangs and some differences between them.

While placing a compact disc into a CD player, you notice a small chip on it's edge. But you attempt to play the CD anyway by placing the CD into the player's deck with the chip at θ0 = 15.2° as measured from the x axis. The CD begins to rotate with angular acceleration α = 2.31 rad/s2. If the CD has been spinning for t = 3.51 s and the disc has a radius of r = 6.00 cm,...

While taking a shower, you notice that the shower head is made up of 36 small round openings, each with a radius of 1.4 mm. You also determine that it takes 7.0 s for the shower to completely fill a 1- liter container you hold in the water stream. The water in your house is pumped by a pump in the basement, 6.2 m below the level of the shower head. The pump maintains an absolute pressure of 1.6 atmospheres....
