A.   phase contrast microsocpy
B.   fluorescent microscopy
C.   electron microscopy
D.   dark field microscopy
E.   bright field microscopy
Question #2
A compound light microscope allows clear visualization of objects no smaller than a:
A.   typical virus
B.   human cell
C.   four leaf clover
D.   DNA molecule
E.   small bacterium
Question #3
Light of ____ wavelength typically will result in ____ resolving power.
A.   any, poor
B.   shorter, better
C.   shorter, worse
D.   longer, better
Question #4
Which of the following is used to visualize live cells?
A.   SEM
B.   Phase Contrast
C.   TEM
D.   All of These
Question #5
The transmission electron microscope has the greatest resolving power because it uses an electron beam to view the sample instead of a light beam. The electron beam is used because:
A.   Electrons have longer wavelengths than light waves
B.   Electrons do not penetrate the sample.
C.   Light waves are less visible.
D.   Electrons are less invasive
E.   Electrons have shorter wavelengths than light waves
Question #6
Which of the following microscope types has the best contrast?
A.   dark field miscroscopy
B.   differential interference contrast (DIC)
C.   phase contrast
D.   bright field miscroscopy
Question #7
A microscope that exposes specimens to ultraviolet light and forms an image with the light emitted at a different wavelength is called a __________ microscope.
A.   fluorescent
B.   scanning electron
C.   darkfield
D.   phase contrast
Question #8
The kind of electron microscope which is used to study internal structure of cells is:
A.   light microscope
B.   transmission electron microscope
C.   compound microscope
D.   scanning electron microscope
Question #9
Phase Contrast microscopy is different than bright field microscopy because:
A.   Uses special lenses to distinguish between solid and liquid phases of the cell
B.   Uses filters in the objective to give contrast to parts of the cell with different thicknesses
C.   Uses special lenses to change the color of light passing through them.
D.   Continuously changes the phase of the incident light from the condenser to improve contrast in the specimen.
Question #10
Which of the following has the BEST resolution?
A.   differential interference contrast (DIC)
B.   bright field microscopy
C.   dark field microscopy
D.   Phase contrast
E.   none of the above
