Document Summary

The refractive index is a measure of the light-bending ability of a medium. The light may bend in air so much that it misses the small high-magnification lens. Resolution (resolving power) is the ability of the lenses to distinguish two points. A microscope with a resolving power of 0. 2 um can distinguish between 2 points >_ 0. 2. Immersion oil is used to keep light from bending um. Shorter wavelengths of light provide greater resolution. You can use oil to improve resolution also a blue filter can help as well. Illuminator condenser lens specimen objective lenses prism ocular lens . Dark objects are visible against a bright background. Light reflected off the specimen does not enter the objective lens. Objective low, high dry, oil immersion total magnification: ocular magnification * objective magnification, stains improve contrast * Light objects are visible against a dark background. Light reflected off the specimen enters the objective lens.
