Scientific Drawings Views Purpose: allow scientists to share data in an efficient, meaningful way Views Dorsal: from above, backside of organism Lateral: from the side Ventral: from below, underside of organism Anterior: from front, forward facing Posterior: from behind, rear of organism __________________________________ Field of View/Vision- circular area seen when looking into eyepiece
Estimating a Measurement Start point = zero 1 mm Size of bee? 4.7 mm
1 mm Size of stink bug? 3.3 mm
Measuring using a Microscope 40x = 100x = 400x = 5 mm 2 mm 0.4 mm
This organism is being observed under 400x, what is it’s size? Hint: What is the size of the diameter of the field of view at 400x? 0.2 mm If this organism is being observed under 40x, what is it’s size? 2.5 mm
