Explanation:

Objective lenses are responsible for the primary image formation in microscopes, they are the closest part to the object, it defines the image's quality and they determine the magnification and resolution. In an optical microscope you can usually find 3 or 4 objectives (4x, 10x, 40x and 100x) but other configurations and magnifications are possible, in the image I added you can see that.

<em>To determine which objective you will use you need to consider your specimen's size and what are the smallest features in it, NA (numerical aperture) must be considered as well, this is the ability to gather light and it determines depth of focus (how much you can focus without change in the image's sharpness), brightness and resolution (smallest distance between two objects). You'll also need to identify your observation method (phase contrast, darkfield, fluorescence, etc) and in what medium is your sample.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Abiotic factors are the non-living parts of the environment that can often have a major influence on living organisms. Abiotic factors include water, sunlight, oxygen, soil and temperature. Water (H2O) is a very important abiotic factor – it is often said that “water is life.” All living organisms need water.

Intrapleural pressure __________ during expiration.

san4es73 [151]

Intrapleural pressure is Negative during expiration.

Intrapleural pressure is the air pressure in the pleural cavity and also exists between visceral and parietal pleurae. This pressure majorly depends on ventilation phase, the volume of the intrapleural cavity and atmospheric pressure. During expiration, the Intrapleural pressure in the pleural cavity becomes less negative which is commonly known as negative pressure.
