Question 1

pts


A micrometer is defined as:




A. 10-3




B. 10-6




C. 10-9




D. 10-12




Question 2

pts


Resolution and contrast are two critical factors that influence your ability to see
an object. Explain each.



Your Answer:

, Resolution refers to the distance between two objects at which the
objects still can be seen as separate. Poor or low resolution means two
(or more) objects may appear as one.



Contrast is the difference in light absorbance between two objects. Poor
contrast gives a high background and makes the visualization of multiple
objects difficult. For instance, trying to identify 2 dark colored objects at
night (low light = low contrast) versus the same 2 objects in the middle of
a sunny afternoon (bright light against 2 dark objects = high contrast).




Question 3

pts

Question 4

, pts


What is the total magnification (relative to your eye) of a sample imaged with a

Question 5

pts


True or False: Staining is often required to image a cell that is adherent and flat
(thin).Correct!



True


Adherent, flat and unstained cells are almost invisible due to the limits on both resolution
and contrast. Therefore, cell staining is often required to adequately image the sample.



False

that apply.



Virus with a diameter of 0.2 μm


Protozoa with diameter of 150 μm
