What do you see when you look through a microscope?

A microscope lets you look at and study very tiny things in great detail, which the naked eye cannot see. Even under a low-power optical microscope, the fine structures of specimens, or the objects under view, can be seen. Here, the tiny hairs of a stinging nettle are revealed in the microscope view.

What causes the image seen through a microscope to appear different than if we were looking at it with the naked eye?

When light reflects off of an object being viewed under the microscope and passes through the lens, it bends towards the eye. This makes the object look bigger than it actually is.

How does the letter E as seen through the microscope differ?

How does the letter “e” as seen through the microscope differ from the way an “e” normally appears? It is inverted, not solid, has rough edges, and shows the texture of the paper. What happens when you move the slide to the upper right while looking through the eyepiece? It moves to the lower left of the scope.

How powerful can a microscope see bacteria?

Bacteria are too small to see without the aid of a microscope. While some eucaryotes, such as protozoa, algae and yeast, can be seen at magnifications of 200X-400X, most bacteria can only be seen with 1000X magnification. This requires a 100X oil immersion objective and 10X eyepieces..

How will you describe the image as seen in the microscope with the actual images seen with the unaided eyes?

The virtual image you see when looking in your microscope is not quite the same as the real image you would see with your eye. For another thing, the orientation of the image is different. The two lenses in a compound microscope reflect the original image two times, in two different planes, while magnifying it.

Can be observed using the light microscope?

The image from a light microscope is presented in color. It can be observed with the eye directly, recorded by photographic, video or computer techniques, and image components can be analyzed. Using an objective of NA 1.4, and green light of wavelength 500 nm, the resolution limit is ∼0.2 μm.

Why must specimens viewed with a compound light microscope be thin and or chemically cleared?

A specimen has to be thin so that the light coming from the light source is able to pass through the specimen Specimens are sometimes stained with dyes so that they are easier to distinguish and find.
