1. Simple optical microscope. One lens.
Disadvantage: Only Van Leeuwenhoek made them, and he's dead.
Advantage: Worked pretty well. With them, Van Leeuwenhoek discovered protozoa and bacteria.

2. Compound optical microscope. Has both an ocular and objective lens.
Disadvantage: limited resolution. Can resolve bacteria, but not smaller things like viruses.
Advantage: can be used with live specimens (using phase contrast or polarized or other special illumination).

3. Binocular dissecting microscope (optic). Has a pair of ocular and objective lenses, and supposedly presents a "3D" view of the specimen to the viewer (I was never able to see in 3D using these darn things).
Disadvantage: Limited magnification
Advantage: Can be used to perform surgery on small but not microscopic specimens, such as fruit flies. Is used in "microsurgery" in hospitals too.

Hope this helps buddy!

Answer:

The three types of specimens a dissecting microscope are as follows:

  1. Optical Microscopes.
  2. Electron Microscopes.
  3. Scanning Probe Microscopes.
  • Optical microscopes are the oldest and the simplest microscope it uses a single convex lens to enlarges the image placed under its focus.
  • Electron Microscope is used by scientists to study cell, this microscope fire beams of electrons on the subject which is held in the vacuum-sealed tubes.
  • Scanning probe microscopy is a powerful microscope, it can detect matters smaller than the nano-meter however its images have no color because it uses probe measure things other than visible light.

Expressivity is the term used to describe the balanced genetic output from a hemizygous condition. True or False
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The statement is FALSE.

Explanation:

In genetics, expressivity refers to the amount of variation in a non binary phenotype across individuals, who are carrying a specific genotype. Scientists believed that variable expressivity is controlled by different factors such as environment, genetics and lifestyle choice. An example of expressivity is  a series of blue eye color that has different shades of blue. Thus, expressivity is not about balanced genetic output but varied genetic expression.
