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