PART A—PARTS OF THE COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
OBJECTIVES
Name and identify the major parts of the microscope.
State the function of each microscope part.
Demonstrate proper use of the microscope.
Demonstrate proper care and storage of the microscope.
Determine the size of the field of vision and use it to estimate the size of an object on the microscope.
Prepare a tissue wet mount and view it on the microscope.
The microscope you will be using is a compound microscope which utilizes two lenses or lens systems to
enlarge the object being viewed. The ocular or eyepiece is the lens near your eye while the objective is the
lens located on the revolving nosepiece. Your microscope has two oculars, or binocular vision. The object is
first magnified by the ocular and then once again by the objective. Total magnification of the object is
therefore calculated by multiplying the magnification of the ocular times the objective. Your microscope is
parfocal, which means you should not have to refocus each time you change the objective. Once the object is
in focus, you should not need to use the coarse adjustment again when you change the magnification.
Your instructor will assign you a microscope.
LISTEN carefully as your instructor reviews the parts and use of the microscope.
IDENTIFY each part listed below, STATE and LEARN the function and proper use of each part of the
microscope.
LABEL the name of the part in the proper location on the microscope diagram.
a. Ocular−
b. Revolving nosepiece−
c. Objectives−
d. Microscope Frame−
e. Stage−
f. Mechanical stage clip−
g. Coarse focus adjustment knob−
h. Fine focus adjustment knob−

PART B—PROPER USE OF THE COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
1. Before using your microscope, clean the ocular and objective lenses using the lens paper and lens cleaner
provided.
NEVER use an ordinary tissue or paper towel to clean your

microscope; it may cause permanent damage to the lenses!
2. Place the slide you are viewing under the stage clips and adjust the slide into position. Turn the revolving
nosepiece until the low- power objective clicks into place. Use the coarse adjustment to move the stage as
close as possible to the objective without hitting the slide (do this while you are watching and not while
you are looking through the ocular!).
3. Look through the oculars. One ocular is adjustable, allowing people who wear glasses to adjust the
magnification to suit each eye, eliminating the need to wear glasses while viewing. Adjust the lighting to
give the best image possible by using the diaphragm lever below the stage.
4. While looking through the oculars, use the coarse adjustment knob to slowly move the stage in a
downward direction until the object comes into focus. Complete the focusing with the fine adjustment
knob. Adjust the light again if needed. The thicker the section of material you are viewing, the more
lightly you will need. If the field of vision is dim or dark, adjust the diaphragm for more light. If the field is
bright and the object is washed out, adjust the diaphragm for less light.
5. If the high-power objective is needed, you may carefully swing the objective into position once the
microscope has been focused on low-power. You may need to move the slide to center the object being
viewed and readjust the light (more light may be needed on a higher magnification). Use only the fine
adjustment to focus the object. The coarse adjustment should not need to be used when changing
objectives.
6. After using the microscope, remove the slide, rotate the revolving nosepiece until the lowest power
objective is in position, and crank the coarse adjustment knob to lower the stage away from the
objectives. Clean the stage, cover the microscope and return it to the cabinet.
QUESTIONS
1. How do you determine total magnification when using the 4X, 10X and 40X objectives with a 10X
ocular? Give the total magnification for each.
2. Why don’t you have to use coarse adjustment when focusing on high power?
3. If you are viewing an object and the object appears faint and washed out and the background is bright,
what should you do to make the object more visible?

4. Define resolution−
5. Which objective requires the most illumination?
6. Why should you always move the stage downward, away from the objective while focusing?
PART C—PRACTICE USING THE COMPOUND MICROSCOPE

1. Begin by using the prepared slide of the Letter ‘e’.
Place the letter on the stage so the bottom is towards you just as it would be if you were reading it.
Focus it in on the 4X objective. Note the position of the letter in the field of vision.
QUESTIONS
a. What direction is the letter facing when viewed through the microscope?
b. What do the microscope lenses do to images as they magnify them?
2. Now, try a prepared slide with a smaller object such as the sperm slide (obtain this slide from the tray your
instructor has put out. This slide is NOT in your slide box).
Focus it first on low-power, then move it to high. Be sure to use the diaphragm and adjust the light.
Too much light will make the sperm invisible.
a. Draw what you see on high power.

PART D—MAKING A WET MOUNT OF ANIMAL CELLS: CHEEK CELLS
You will be preparing a wet mount (using stain) of both plant and animal cells. You will not be able to see most
of the structures within the cells using your microscope, however, you will be able to distinguish differences
between the plant and animal cell and view a few of the larger organelles. Detailed aspects of the cell will be
studied in the next section.
1. Place a small drop of Methylene blue on a clean slide.
2. Rinse your mouth thoroughly before scraping to remove excess food and bacterial deposits. Lightly scrape
the inner surface of your cheek using the flat side of a toothpick. Swirl the end of the toothpick with the
scrapings in the methylene blue on the slide.
3. Carefully place a coverslip on the slide by sliding the coverslip along the slide at a 45-degree angle until it
hits the stain and the stain forms a line on the edge of the coverslip. Lower the coverslip being careful not
to form any bubbles.
4. Wait several minutes then place a drop of distilled water along one edge of the coverslip. Place a KimWipe
at the other edge of the coverslip and slowly draw the stain out and the water in. Make sure the slide
doesn’t get too dry. When you are finished, the background should be clear and yet the cells will remain
blue from the stain.
Methylene blue
KimWipe
5. Focus your slide on low power. Look for cells that aren’t too clumped. Find a cell that is not folded or
bunched with others and center it in the field of vision.
6. Now, move the high-power objective into place. Use only the fine adjustment if needed. Remember to
adjust the light.
QUESTIONS
a. What structures are visible on the cell on high-power?
7. Remove the slide when finished and put the slide the GLASS DISPOSAL BOX in your lab.

PART E—MAKING A WET MOUNT OF PLANT CELLS: ONION CELLS
1. Carefully strip a thin layer of cells from a piece of onion. Lay the onion tissue out flat on a clean slide. Add
a drop of iodine and put the coverslip in place.
a. Cut an onion into quarters. b. Remove one of the fleshly

“scale” leaves.
c. Snapping the leaf backward

usually produces a ragged
piece of epidermis.
d. Remove a small piece of epidermis

and spread it evenly in a drop of
iodine on a slide.
e. Gently lower a coverslip to prevent

trapping air bubbles.
2. Observe the onion cells first on low and then high power.
QUESTIONS
a. What differences can you see between the onion (plant) cell and the cheek (animal) cell?
b. What cell structures can you see in the onion slide?

PART E—USING MEASUREMENTS

You can use metric measurements to estimate the size of an object under the microscope. You must begin by
measuring the field of vision on the microscope with a metric ruler.
EXAMPLE: A metric ruler was placed in the field of vision with the 10X objective in place. The ruler under the
field of vision is shown below:
1. Assume the marks on the diagram above designate mm. What would the size of the field of vision be on
the diagram above?
2. Place a metric ruler under each objective lens on your own microscope and measure the fields of view.
The space between each visible line is equal to one millimeter. Record the measurement below:
4X =
10X =
40X =

3. Now that you have the size of your fields of vision, remove the ruler. You should NOT have to measure
again as long as you use the same microscope. You can now use this information to estimate the size of an
object in the field of vision.
EXAMPLE: TRY THIS PRACTICE PROBLEM FIRST:
3 mm
a. To find the length of one cell in the field of vision above, you would first visualize and estimate how
many cells would fit across the length of the field of vision. In this case, approximately 6 cells fit across
the length of the field. The length of one cell can be calculated using the following formula:
diameter of field
= size of cell
# cells visible
b. If you plug in the proper numbers, you will find the answer by calculating:
3 mm
The answer is:_________________mm
6 cells
c. Now calculate the height of one cell using the same method (show your work):
The answer is:________________mm
4. Find the slide of 3-colored strings in your slide box and focus it in on low-power (10X) on your microscope.
a. Use the method you have just learned to estimate the width of one string (pick one of the colored
strings and estimate how many times it will fit across the field of vision).

b. Do the calculations and show your work below:
The width of the __________ color string is ___________ mm

PART F—QUESTIONS

OBJECTIVE
To learn and understand the steps in the process of DNA replication and to realize the purpose of the
event.
PART A—DNA REPLICATION

Before a cell can divide, its DNA must be duplicated so that identical copies of the cell’s genes can be passed on
to each new cell. This process is called replication. Replication occurs in the cell nucleus during interphase.
Read the section in your text on replication (Chapter 3).
Fill in the blanks below.
Label where each step (1-6) would occur on the diagram to the right.
QUESTIONS
1. The enzyme _______________ causes the DNA helix to
begin to ___________________.
2. The two DNA strands begin to _______________exposing

the _______________.

______________________ identical to the original DNA
helix.

OBJECTIVE
To understand when, where and how the steps of protein synthesis occur.
DNA serves as the master blueprint for any polypeptide or protein (including enzymes). Since DNA cannot
leave the nucleus, RNA must copy the DNA code and take it out of the nucleus (transcription) where the code will
be used to synthesize a protein (translation). The processes of transcription and translation must be used each
time a polypeptide is produced by the cell. The process begins in the nucleus but the ultimate act of producing the
protein takes place on the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
PART A—TRANSCRIPTION
Fill in the steps of transcription below and answer the following questions.
QUESTIONS
1. The enzyme ________________________ binds to the DNA molecule causing the DNA helix
to_____________________.
2. The two strands of DNA __________________ exposing the DNA nucleotides. One DNA strand, called the
_________________ strand, will serve as the template for construction of a complementary
__________________ molecule. _____________________ is also the enzyme responsible for bonding
mRNA nucleotides to the DNA template.
3. For each triplet (three base sequence on the DNA template), a complementary three base mRNA segment
called a _______________will be formed on the mRNA.
4. Before it can be used, the new mRNA strand must be edited. Noninformational regions called
___________________ must be removed. The remaining informational pieces called
____________________ are spliced together to form a
functional mRNA strand.
5. The mRNA will leave the nucleus and carry the code to the
___________________ of the cell where it will attach to a
___________________.

6. Why must mRNA be used to carry the DNA code?
7. What will the mRNA strand ultimately be used for?
8. In a diagram, how can you distinguish a newly forming mRNA strand from the DNA template?
PART B—TRANSLATION
Fill in the blanks below and answer the following questions.
Label the diagram.
QUESTIONS
1. The mRNA molecule attaches to a ___________________.
2. A new type of RNA called ______________ is used to bind amino acids and carry them to the mRNA on
the ribosome.
3. There are many different types of tRNA. Each type binds to a specific amino acid. The amino acid is bound
to one end of the tRNA while the other end contains a three base sequence called an
___________________.
4. The anticodons of the tRNA form ________________ bonds with the complementary codons on the
_________________.
5. As successive amino acids are brought to their proper positions by the tRNA, ______________________
bonds are formed between them and the formation of a _________________________ begins.
6. Where does the process of translation occur?
7. What molecule is used as a template for the construction of the polypeptide?
8. What is the job of tRNA?

9. When will the processes of transcription and translation need to be used by the cell?

Axon membrane and sarcolemma are resting (polarized)

Inside is negative (in respect to the outside), while outside is
positive [RMP = -70 mV]
Na+ and K+ voltage-gated channels are closed
Nerve impulse
STEP 1
Action potential travels along the axon

2 STEP 2
Nerve impulse
Action potential reaches axon terminal
Depolarization of axon membrane opens both Na+
and Ca2+ voltage-gated channels
Ca2+ influx into axon terminal from extracellular fluid
3 STEP 3
2+
Ca ions promote fusion of synaptic vesicles with
axon terminal membrane
4 STEP 4
Synaptic vesicles release acetylcholine (ACh) into the
synaptic cleft by exocytosis
Ach diffuses across synaptic cleft and binds to Ach
receptors on the motor end plate

5
Depolarization of
motor end plate
STEP 5
Binding of ACh to ACh receptors on sarcolemma opens chemically-gated Na+
channels
Na+ ions diffuse rapidly into the cell at the motor end plate
Change in membrane potential (voltage); interior becomes slightly less
negative
RMP decreases = depolarization of sarcolemma at motor end plate

Propagation of action potential along sarcolemma as the local
depolarization wave spreads to adjacent areas of sarcolemma,
opening Na+ voltage-gated channels

Repolarization wave
7 STEP 7
Immediately after the depolarization wave passes,
repolarization wave quickly follows
Na+ channels close and K+ channels open
Na+ influx stops and K+ diffuses out of cell
This restores the internal negativity of sarcolemma
(polarized state)
Repolarization occurs in the same direction as
depolarization

from terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic
reticulum
STEP 2
2+
Ca ions bind to troponin
Troponin changes shape
Moves tropomyosin away from actin’s binding
sites (removes blocking action of tropomyosin)

3 STEP 3
Activated myosin head is attracted to the
exposed actin binding sites
Myosin head attaches to actin myofilament
4 STEP 4
Myosin head pivots, changing from its high-
energy configuration to its bent, low-energy
configuration = power stroke
ADP + Pi (inorganic phosphate) are released
Bending pulls on thin filament, sliding it
Low energy toward the center of sarcomere (toward M
line)
5 STEP 5
New ATP molecule binds to myosin head
Causes myosin head to detach from actin

6 STEP 6
ATP hydrolysis to ADP + Pi, provides energy
to return the myosin head to its high-
energy or “cocked” position
Myosin head is ready for the next
attachment and power stroke

Place the eye in a specimen bag clearly LABELED with your name(s) and
lab section. Then place the bag in the plastic bin.
Use the cleaning solution in the spray bottle to wipe your lab bench.
PART E—VISUAL TESTS

1. Visual Acuity—Snellen Eye Chart
REMOVE your glasses or contact lenses and stand or sit 20 feet from the eye chart.
Keep BOTH eyes open and cover one eye with the palm of your hand, or a piece of paper without
pressing on the eyelid.
READ out loud the SMALLEST line of letters you can see on the chart.
Cover the other eye and begin the test again.
RECORD your visual acuity.
Visual Acuity:
If you have read the test as successfully with the right eye as with the left eye, you probably have good
central acuity.
2. Astigmatism Test
Place yourself at approximately 3 feet from the chart.
Cover one eye with your hand, without pressing on the lid, and test whether all the lines appear black.
Cover the other eye and begin the test again.
If some of the lines appear grayer and some blacker, you probably have an astigmatism.
3. Dominant Eye Test
Make a small hole in a piece of paper.
Place a coin at your feet on the floor.
Hold the paper with the hole in it at waist level.
Locate the coin through the hole and close your right eye. If the coin DISAPPEARS you have a
dominant RIGHT eye. If the coin does NOT DISAPPEAR you have a dominant LEFT eye.
RECORD your dominant eye.

Red and green deficiencies occur with the most frequency and red deficiency is known as protanopia while green
deficiency is known as deuteranopia.
PART G QUESTIONS (PP. 147-148)

1. Process of ciliary muscles contracting and releasing tension on the suspensory ligaments of the lens.
As a result, the lens thickens to focus on a near object.
2. A condition resulting in the loss of near focusing ability due to decreased elasticity in the lens as one
ages.
3a. Bleaching refers to the fact that retinal changes configuration when hit by light, releasing the opsin
protein. The color of retinal changes from rose color to clear/white so therefore it is referred to as
“bleaching”.
3b. The ultimate result is a series of reactions resulting in an action potential being generated from the
ganglion cells and an impulse traveling down the optic nerve.
4. Carrots contain vitamin A which is necessary to form the visual pigment retinal.
5a. Because cones stop functioning in low-intensity light. Rod pigments have been bleached out by the
bright light, and the rods are still initially inhibited.
5b. Rods.
5c. They are bleach out (from being in the light) and need time in the dark to reform rhodopsin (retinal +
opsin).
6. Optic chiasm is superior and anterior to the sella turcica where the pituitary gland (hypophysis) sits.
Any tumors or enlargements of the pituitary gland can compress the optic chiasm causing visual
impairments or blindness
7. The lacrimal canals (sacs) drain the eye to the nasal cavity. Infections from the throat can spread to
the nasal cavity and reach the lacrimal sac to the eye
8a. Condition in which intraocular pressure (due to blocked drainage of the aqueous humor) increases to
levels that cause compression of the retina and optic nerve, resulting in blindness.
8b. Pressure on the retina caused by too much aqueous humor.
9. Cones have 3 different visual pigments and each one bleaches in response to a different wavelength
(color) of light. Rods have only one pigment that bleaches out equally for all wavelengths of light.
