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.

Expert Solution

1) When focusing on a slide, always start with either the 4X or 10X objective. Once you have the object in focus, then switch to the next higher power objective.

2) Parfocal means that the microscope is binocular and Parfocal means that when one objective lens is in focus, then the other objectives will also be in focus. For example, if the focal point of a microscope is changed from a low power objective (10x) to a higher power (40x or 100x), the object stays in focus. Parfocal is a desirable feature for a microscope, as the constant re-adjusting of the focus while viewing a sample can be overwhelming. A Parfocal lens allows for more accurate focusing at the maximum focal length, and then quick zooming back to a shorter focal length.

3) Here 'n' is the refractive index of the medium between the objective lens and the object.

'θ' is half the angular aperture( or acceptance angle of image-forming rays) of the objective lens(Jenkins and white 1957).

The bigger a cone of light that can be brought into the lens, the higher it's numerical aperture is. Therefore the higher the numerical aperture of lens, the better the resolution of a specimen will be which can be obtained with that lens.

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?

A certain microscope consists of an objective lens, (Lens 1), and a tube lens (Lens 2). The object is placed at the front focal plane of the objective lens and the image is at the back focal plane of the tube lens. The tube lens has a focal length of 200mm. The objective is labeled 20X, which means that the magnification will be 20 when used with this particular tube lens. The working distance (the distance from the object to...

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...

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.

1. A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling horizontally. As the drawing shows, one person hits the water 5.00 m from the end of the slide in a time of 1.500 s after leaving the slide. Ignoring friction and air resistance, find the height H in the drawing. The answer is 11.6 m (please explain) 2. An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts...

#1. [Water Slide & Swing] You are designing a slide for a water park. In a sitting position, park guests slide a vertical distance h down the water slide, which has negligible friction. When they reach the bottom of the slide, they grab a handle at the bottom end of a 6.00-m-long uniform pole. The pole hangs vertically, initially at rest. The upper end of the pole is pivoted about a stationary, frictionless axle. The pole with a person hanging...
