Why you use the elodea leaf instead of other tree leaves?
because an oak leaf is too thick to see the cells through a microscope. The light can not go though.
Why are specimen thin?
because the thinner it is the clearer it is too see inside
What is dissecting?
A dissection microscope is called a stereoscopic microscope. It has low magnification that is useful for viewing large, thick objects.
Why are plasma membranes not visible in light microscopy?
Plasma membranes are not dense enough to be seen clearly with a transmission microscope without some sort to staining procedure. A phase-contrast microscope (also light microscope, but with slightly different optics) is the usual tool, especially for cultured cells. http://www.answers.com/phase+contrast+microscope
What is the width of the Milky Way in light years?
The Milky Way spiral galaxy is about 100,000 light years in diameter, and about 3,000 light years thick at its center, and about 1,000 light years thick near its outer edge.

Why must a specimen be very thin to be viewed under a light microscope?
Light microscope works because light goes *through* your specimen. So if the specimen is too thick, then light won't shine through, and you won't see anything.
Can you use a microscope to look at your finger?
With a normal light microscope, you can't look directly at your finger. It's just too thick for light from underneath to pass through, to reach the microscope lenses. It might be possible to scrape off thin layers of dead skin and put them on a slide to view through a microscope, though.
What would you expect to see if you looked at a thick opaque object through a compound microscope?
You would expect to see a silhouette of the figure because it is too thick. -Franceska Biology Major
Explain why the sample to be seen through a microscope cant be thick?
the light from the lamp below the table would not get through the sample, meaning it could not be seen or analysed.
Why do you cut a very thin slice of specimen to look under light microscope?
The light is reflected upwards, and passes through the specimen. It passes through easier (clearer) if the specimen is not too thick.
Is wood an opaque object?
Yes it is, if it is thick enough so that no light makes it through. Under ordinary circumstances, wood is opaque.

Why is a thin wooden plate not transparent while even a thick glass panel can be transparent?
The definition of "transparent" is, "allows light to pass through". Regardless of width, an object can only be transparent if its composition allows light to pass through. The other criteria is thickness. Even if the object is made of glass, if it is thick enough it will not be transparent. You will not be able to see through it although some glimmer of light may reach all the way through and appear, usually as a pale green glow.
When can you see chromosomes under light microscope?
only at the time of cell division in the metaphase and in the anaphase the chromosome are visible. because at this time the chromatin get aggregate and form the thick chromosome which are visible under microscope.
List four specimens that are better viewed through a dissecting scope than a compound light microscope?
dissecting scope: view opaque and/or thick objectsExamples: rock samples, coins, insects, and flowers
