Quantitative observations with Microscopes
Estimating a Measurement Start point = zero 1 mm Size of bee? 4.7 mm
Estimating a Measurement How big is the apple? 0.5m 1m
Estimating a Measurement How big is the apple? 0.33m 1m
Estimating a Measurement How big is the computer? 0.50cm 50cm
Estimating a Measurement How big is the ball? 0.25cm 50cm
Measuring using a Microscope Field of View/Vision- circular area seen when looking into eyepiece 40x = 100x = 400x = 4.5 mm 2 mm 0.5 mm
This organism is being observed under 400x, what is it’s size? 0.25 mm Hint: What is the size of the diameter of the field of view at 400x? If this organism was being observed under 40x instead, what is it’s size? 2.25 mm
40x SMILEY FACE ( )
