can a light microscope with 1000x magnification see clearly a unicellular organism moving around and feeding and stuff like that. And if not would u need an electron microscope?
Yes, the standard magnification for ocular lenses is 10x, and then we were assuming that meant you were using a 100x objective lens.cam875 said:well the one lense is 10x and the other 100x for a total of 1000x right?
You might be able to manage with a regular wet mount on a plain glass slide (just make sure it has no special coating that would make the specimen stick on it). Otherwise, you can get slides with shallow wells in them that will be plenty sufficient.also what are the steps for getting a slide to view that can hold some water, paramecium, and some algae for feeding, would it have to be a cube like slide instead of so flat?
cam875 said:so how do they know how all that stuff actually works inside a nucleus of a cell while its living and functioning without being able to see it happen?
cam875 said:so does cancer just infect ur good cells in let's say ur lungs by injecting faulty dna that makes them reproduce uncontrollobly causing tumors which screw up surrounding organs?
A light microscope is a type of microscope that uses visible light to magnify objects. It allows for the observation of small structures and organisms that are not visible to the naked eye.
The magnification of a light microscope can vary, but the maximum magnification is typically around 1000x. This means that objects appear 1000 times larger than their actual size when viewed through the microscope.
A light microscope works by focusing light through a series of lenses to magnify an object. The light passes through the specimen and is then magnified by the objective lens. The image is then further magnified by the eyepiece lens, allowing for a closer look at the specimen.
Unicellular organisms are living organisms that consist of only one cell. They are microscopic in size and can only be seen with the aid of a microscope. Examples of unicellular organisms include bacteria, protozoa, and some types of algae.
Unicellular organisms play a crucial role in various ecosystems and have a significant impact on the environment. By observing them with a light microscope, scientists can study their structure, behavior, and interactions with other organisms. This information is essential for understanding the complex relationships between different types of organisms and their environment.
