Exercise 5: Microscopic Measurements Calibrate the ocular micrometer (supplement page 42)
Make sure left ocular is turned fully counter-clockwise Start with 10X objective (find it with 4X objective first!) Get stage micrometer (2mm ruler on slide) in focus: you will see the ocular micrometer with labels in multiples of 10 (0, 10, 20, 30) and the stage micrometer with labels in multiples of 0.1 (0.0, 0.1, 0.2) stage micrometer ocular micrometer
3. Line up the zero lines of the two micrometers (you can turn the top of the ocular to position the ocular micrometer and the mechanical stage controls to move the stage micrometer) At 100X total magnification they should line up as shown below “0.1” on stage micrometer is 0.1mm on that actual 2mm ruler. This distance corresponds to 10 “units” (spaces between lines) on the ocular micrometer (0-10): the 0.1 line of the stage ruler lines up with the 10 line on the ocular one. How long in millimeters is one unit on the ocular micrometer with the 10X objective in place?
0.1mm = 10 “units” 1 unit = 0.1mm ÷ 10 1 unit = 0.01mm to convert mm to µm, multiply by 1000 When the microscope is set to 100X total magnification, one unit on the ocular micrometer is worth ________µm
4. Repeat for the 40X objective:
0.1mm = 40 “units” 1 unit = 0.1mm ÷ 40 1 unit = 0.0025mm to convert mm to µm, multiply by 1000 When the microscope is set to 400X total magnification, one unit on the ocular micrometer is worth ________µm
When the microscope is set to 100X total magnification, one unit on the ocular micrometer is worth ____10____µm When the microscope is set to 400X total magnification, one unit on the ocular micrometer is worth ____2.5____µm When the microscope is set to 1000X total magnification, one unit on the ocular micrometer is worth ____1____µm
