Contained this document, the images and text outline the specimens observed
showing continuum of the specimens from initial observation to more complex
slides.. In the beginning, the letter e, crossed hairs, and rulers was examined to
help learn how to use the microscope. Then, a diverse gallery of cells were
observed. These included oral cheek, onion, and amoeba cells. The final aspect of
this lab was the observation of diffusion within cells.
Intro:
The Letter e- The e is upside down because under the microscope the e was rightside up.

Analysis
1. Summarize the differences an image through a microscope and the same
image viewed with the naked eye
a. The difference between a microscope an image viewed the naked
eye is that in a microscope the image is upside down. For example,
when viewing the letter e the top of the e is on the bottom while
when viewing with the naked I the top of the e is on the top. Under
microscopes, the image is rotated.
2. When viewing an object through the high power objective not all of the
object may be in focus? Explain
a. In the highest power objective, the microscope zooms in a small part
of the object. However, anything that is not in this small part will
not be in focus. Therefore, some objects might not be focused under
the highest power objective
3. What is relationship between magnification and the diameter of the field
of view?
a. When the magnification increase, the diameter of the field
decreases. As the magnification increases, the microscope focuses
on a smaller part of the object. As the microscope focuses on that
smaller portion, the diameter decreases
4. What is diameter in micrometers of the low power field of view on your
microscope?
