    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    What structure should never be used with high power?

    • A.

      The coarse adjustment knob

    • B.

      The diaphragm

    • C.

      The fine adjustment knob

    • D.

      The stage

    Correct Answer
    A. The coarse adjustment knob
    Explanation
    The coarse adjustment knob should never be used with high power because it moves the stage up and down in large increments, which can potentially damage the slide or the objective lens. High power magnification requires delicate and precise movements, which can be achieved with the fine adjustment knob. The coarse adjustment knob is more suitable for low power magnification, where larger movements are needed to bring the specimen into focus.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    When first focusing your microscope you should use the low power objective.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When first focusing your microscope, it is recommended to use the low power objective. This is because the low power objective provides a wider field of view and a greater depth of field, making it easier to locate and focus on the specimen. The high power objective, on the other hand, has a narrower field of view and a shallower depth of field, which can make it more difficult to locate and focus on the specimen initially. Therefore, starting with the low power objective helps in getting a clear and initial view of the specimen before switching to higher magnifications.

    Rate this question:

    • C.

      Subtract

    • D.

      Divide

    Correct Answer
    A. Multiply
    Explanation
    To calculate total magnification, one should multiply the magnification of the ocular lens and the objective lens. This is because the total magnification is determined by the combined magnification of both lenses. By multiplying the magnification of the ocular lens and the objective lens, we can determine the overall magnification of the specimen being viewed through the microscope.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Which lens on the microscope is changed when the magnificatin is changed?

    • A.

      Contact lens

    • C.

      Super lens

    • D.

      Eyepiece lens

    Correct Answer
    B. Objective lens
    Explanation
    When the magnification is changed on a microscope, the lens that is adjusted is the objective lens. The objective lens is located near the specimen being observed and is responsible for gathering light and forming the initial magnified image. By adjusting the objective lens, the magnification level can be increased or decreased, allowing for a closer or wider view of the specimen. The other options listed, such as contact lens, super lens, and eyepiece lens, are not relevant to the magnification adjustment on a microscope.

    Correct Answer
    B. Hinge
    Explanation
    A hinge joint is a type of joint that allows movement in only one direction, typically back and forth like a door hinge. This type of joint is found in the elbows and knees, allowing for flexion and extension but limiting movement in other directions. Unlike ball and socket joints, pivot joints, and gliding joints, hinge joints have a more restricted range of motion, making them suitable for specific movements and functions in the body.
