  • Haematoxylin
  • Eosin

Question 13

Question
In the practical activity to view cells using the light microscope, why was it important to lower the coverslip slowly from a 45 degree angle?
Answer
  • To prevent the slide from breaking
  • To avoid damaging the specimen
  • To prevent the coverslip from breaking
  • To prevent the formation of air bubbles

Question 14

Question
In using the light miscroscope to view living cells, which is the correct order of operations in using the light microscope?
Answer
  • Place specimen on stage, focus using high power, switch to low power, lower the stage
  • Place specimen on stage, focus using low power, switch to high power, lower the stage
  • Lower stage, place specimen on stage, focus using low power, switch to a higher power
  • Place specimen on stage, lower the stage, focus using high power, switch to low power
