A microscope (from the Greek: μικρός, mikrós, "small" and σκοπεῖν, skopeîn, "to look" or

"see") is an instrument used to see objects too small for the naked eye. The science of
investigating small objects using such an instrument is called microscopy. Microscopic means
invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope.

2. A light microscope, also called an optical microscope, is an instrument to observe small

objects using visible light and lenses. The light microscope is a highly used and well-recognized
microscope in the scientific community. It can be used to view living or dead samples and can
maximize these samples up to one thousand times (1000x) their actual size. Light microscopes
include almost all compound and stereo microscopes.

A light microscope is composed of an objective lens, an ocular lens, a stage, a light source, a
condenser, a tube, an arm to support the tube, and a focusing system. The specimen is set on the
stage, a platform usually equipped with metal arms to hold the specimen or slide in place. The
light bulb is situated beneath the stage so that the light shines up through the specimen. The tube
focuses down on the specimen and stage so that the ocular lens, or eyepiece, is at the far end of
the tube and the objective lens is at the end closer to the specimen.

4. Magnification refers to how big the object appears. the higher the magnification, the bigger the
object will look. Resolution refers to how clear the object looks to your eyes. The better the
resolution, the clearer and more detailed the object will look.

Conclusion

Compound light microscope is called light microscope simply because it employs visible light to be able
to see small objects by the naked eye. This kind of microscope is one of the most widely used
microscopes in the world today. It is considered the most popular and well-used microscope especially
of students, because they usually use it in biology when they study about different tissues and
microorganisms. Nevertheless, many teachers and students are not aware of this kind of microscope’s
great functions. Finding the right microscope is as important as the scientific experiments and inventions
of our time. Many inventions and scientific experiments have been done using this type of microscope.
Without this microscope, the world would have been different now.

OSMOSIS FROM DIFFUSION

OSMOSIS
It is the transport of SOLVENT from lower concentrated solution to the one with higher concentration.

It takes place across a semi permeable membrane

DIFFUSION
It is the transport of SOLUTE from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Brownian Motion is the erratic and constant movement of tiny particles when they are suspended in a
fluid or gas.

The nucleus is of primary importance in the cell because it is the control center that oversees the
metabolic functioning of the cell and ultimately determines the cell's characteristics. Within the nucleus,
there are masses of threads called chromatin, which is indistinct in the nondividing cell, but it condenses
to chromosomes at the time of cell division. This is where the DNA resides. The nucleolus is the
specialized part of chromatin in which the ribosomal RNA (rRNA), is produced.

Endoplasmic Reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is repsonible for the production of the protein and lipid
components of most of the cell's organelles.

Also known as the Golgi body or Golgi complex, a collection of vesicles and folded
membranes in a cell, usually connected to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It stores and later
transports the proteins manufactured in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Diffusion is essential for cells to bring nutrients and releasing wastes WITHOUT spending energy. This is
accomplished by the "urge" of a system to achieve equilibrium, which means that materials tend to flow
from high concentration to low concentration area. For example, if a cell lacks amino acids, and
therefore has a low concentration of it inside the cell compared to the outside, then by diffusion, the
amino acids outside will flow in through the membrane until the concentrations of amino acids outside
and inside the cell are the same. All these are done without spending energy from the cell. Note,
however, that simple diffusion cannot transport larger particles or those insoluble in lipids; these
materials have to be transported with facilitated diffusion, where a carrier on the membrane of the cell
will help bring in the materials.

Diffusion describes the spread of particles through random motion from regions of higher concentration
to regions of lower concentration.
DIALYSIS IS The process of cleansing the blood by passing it through a special machine.

Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane into a

region of higher solute concentration, aiming to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.
