What is the proper way to carry a microscope

Biology

1. When moving your microscope, always carry it with both hands (Figure 1). Grasp the arm with one hand and place the other hand under the base for support.
2. Turn the revolving nosepiece so that the lowest power objective lens is "clicked" into position.

3. Place the microscope slide on the stage and fasten it with the stage clips. You can push down on the back end of the stage clip to open it.

4. Using the coarse adjustment, lower the objective lens down as far as it will go without touching the slide! Note: Look at the slide and lens from the side when doing this (see Figure 2).

5. Look through the eyepiece and adjust the illuminator (or mirror) and diaphragm (Figure 3) for the greatest amount of light.








6. Slowly turn the coarse adjustment so that the objective lens goes up (away from the slide). Continue until the image comes into focus. Use the fine adjustment, if available, for fine focusing.

7. Move the microscope slide around so that the image is in the center of the field of view and readjust the mirror, illuminator or diaphragm for the clearest image.

8. You should be able to change to the next objective lenses with only slight focusing adjustment. Use the fine adjustment, if available. If you cannot focus on your specimen, repeat steps 4 through 7 with the higher power objective lens in place. DO NOT ALLOW THE LENS TO TOUCH THE SLIDE!

9. The proper way to use a monocular microscope is to look through the eyepiece with one eye and keep the other eye open (this helps avoid eye strain). If you have to close one eye when looking into the microscope, it's ok. Remember, everything is upside down and backwards. When you move the slide to the right, the image goes to the left!

10. Do not touch the glass part of the lenses with your fingers. Use only special lens paper to clean the lenses. (read the page on keeping your microscope clean)

11. When finished, raise the tube, click the low power lens into position and remove the slide.

Remember, microscopes are expensive scientific instruments. Handle them properly and carefully and they will last for many years!

What term describes the relatively constant internal physical conditions of an organism ?
netineya [11]

<span>The answer is homeostasis.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Homeostasis is a mechanism which controls internal conditions of an organism so that internal conditions remain stable without regard to the external conditions. So, it regulates body temperature, water level, sugar level, etc. It works through negative feedback mechanism. For example, if body temperature is increased, the body detects the change and activate mechanisms that decrease body temperature. Without homeostasis, the organisms could not survive.</span>

A while mates with a blavk hen. The offspring is gray color. What is this phenomenon called
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Incomplete Dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a phenomenon in which the alleles of two genes are not completely dominant over each other and so when they are present at the same time in an organism (heterozygous for that gene) the organism will have an intermediate phenotype that is a combination of both phenotypes.

For example: The flower color in Snapdragon can have three different genotypes as well as phenotypes. The flowers can be red, pink or white depending on their genotype. The allele for red flower (R) is incompletely dominant over allele of white flower (r). A plant with genotype RR will be red flowered and that with rr will be white flowered. However, if a plant has genotype Rr (intermediate), then the flowers will be white in which no allele was dominant over the other and both showed their effect giving a combination of two colors as Pink flowers.

Same is the case with the mating between white and black hen, where offspring was grey in color. This grey was a combination phenotype of two phenotypes.

Hope it helps!
