16 Light Microscope

17 Resolution, Numerical Aperture & Wavelength d=0.61 /nSin  0.61  NA d: resolution : wavelength n: refractive index NA: numerical aperture

18 Power of magnification - The relative enlargement of the specimen when seen through the microscope. The power of magnification can be calculated by multiplying the power of the eye piece lens by the power of the objective lens. Inversion - The reversal of the specimen image by the microscope lenses. A specimen that appears upside down when being viewed is actually right-side up on the slide. Working distance - The distance between the front of the objective and the top of the cover glass on the slide. The higher the magnification the smaller the working distance. Resolution (resolving power) - The least distance between two points or lines at which they are seen as two, rather than a single blur. The greater the numerical aperture the greater the resolution. Depth of focus - The thickness of a specimen which may be seen in focus at one time. The greater the power of magnification the lesser the depth of focus. Field of vision - The surface area which can seen when looking through the light microscope. The area decreases with increasing power of magnification. Numerical aperture (N.A.) - A designation, usually engraved on objectives and condensers, expressing the amount of light reaching the specimen. The greater the N.A. the greater the resolving power. Objectives - The device which holds the lenses of the microscope. Engraved on the object is its power of magnification, and usually the numerical aperture. The larger number is the power of magnification. The longer the objective the more power of magnification. Diaphragm - a device under the stage of a microscope that can regulate the amount of light reaching a specimen. The more power of magnification the more the diaphragm is opened.
