What else can I help you with?
Why are specimen thin?
because the thinner it is the clearer it is too see inside
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
Does something thick have volume?
Yes, something thick typically has volume as volume is a measure of the three-dimensional space occupied by an object. Thickness contributes to the overall volume of an object.
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 does letters of newspaper seem raised when looked through thick glass?
When you look at letters of a newspaper through thick glass, the phenomenon is known as "magnification." The glass acts as a lens, focusing and slightly enlarging the image of the text on the newspaper, making it appear raised. This effect is due to the bending of light rays as they pass through the glass.
Which microscope would you use if the object is to thick to let light through?
A Light stereoscope microscope; this type of microscope is used to see three dimensional views of objects too thick to let light pass through.
Which microscope would you use if the object is too thick to let light pass through?
A Light stereoscope microscope; this type of microscope is used to see three dimensional views of objects too thick to let light pass through.
Which microscope would you use if the object is too thick to let light pass throught it?
You would use a compound microscope with transmitted illumination or a digital microscope with top lighting. These microscopes can illuminate the object from above, allowing you to observe details even if the object is too thick to let light pass through it.
What would you expect to see if you looked at a thick opaque object through a compound microscope?
If you look at a thick opaque object through a compound microscope, you would likely see little to no details as the object is blocking the passage of light. Additionally, the object may appear dark or shadowed since light cannot pass through it to form an image on the microscope's lens.
What would happen if a object on a slide of a compound microscope were too thick for light to pass through it?
If the object is too thick for light to pass through, the light would be blocked and unable to reach the objective lens. As a result, the object would not be visible or would appear very dark and blurry under the microscope. Adjusting the focus or trying a thinner sample would be necessary to obtain a clearer image.
What would happen if the object on the slide were too thick for light to pass through it?
If the object on the slide were too thick for light to pass through, no light would illuminate the object on the other side. This would result in a shadow being cast on the side of the slide where the light source is located, and the object on the other side would not be visible.
Why must a specimen be very thin to be viewed under a light microscope?
A thin specimen allows light to pass through without distortion, enabling clearer imaging and more precise observations under a light microscope. Thick specimens can scatter light, reducing image quality and making it harder to distinguish details.
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 is the scentific name for a object that does not let light through?
The scientific term for an object that does not let light pass through is "opaque." Examples of opaque objects include metals, wood, and thick plastics that block the transmission of light.
Which type of object blocks all light from passing through?
An opaque object blocks all light from passing through, as it does not allow light to pass through due to its composition and structure. Examples include wood, metal, and thick plastics.
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.
What would happen if the object on the slide were too thick for light to pass thought it?
If the object on the slide were too thick for light to pass through it, the light would be blocked or absorbed by the object, resulting in a shadow being cast on the screen rather than a clear image being projected. This would prevent the object from being visible on the screen.
