Sep 14, 2022 · An eyepiece graticule and stage micrometer are used to measure the size of the object when viewed under a microscope. The type of microscope and magnification used can vary signficantly so the eyepiece graticule needs to be calibrated each time when measuring objects.
Mar 7, 2024 · The most common specimens to observe under a light microscope are cheek cells (animal cells) and onion cells (plant cells) A stain is often used to ensure cell structures are clearly visible under the microscope.
Define magnification and resolution. Explain how magnification and resolution work together to help us see cellular structures more clearly. Before we take a deeper dive into the topic of microscopy, it may be useful to revisit the physics behind how microscopes work.
