Microscope are useful in viewing the letter “e” and the cheek cells. It shows a close visual image, which help to observe the two objects. Following the methods is important, because it provides the necessary materials and the steps of the procedure. It’s extremely important to wear a apron , goggles, and gloves. Also, be cautious in using the materials. The purpose is to observe and how to use the microscope under the specimen. For the results each figure image shows the differences between the low-power and the high-power objectives. In those figure, it will explain the view of the image of a cheek cells and a close image of how does the letter “e” looks like.

Introduction

Anton Von Leeuwenhoek was the inventor of the microscope and brought the discovery of biology. He introduce in how the microscope is being function and the use of the magnification lenses. For the lab, the microscope should be carry by the arm and the base. The objective lenses needed to be at low-power and gradually switch to the high-power. To focus on a specimen, gently move the coarse or the fine adjustment knob. Later, total the magnification of the ocular lens times by the objectives lenses.

In the letter “e” and the cheek cells, the primary focus for the lab is using the proper technique in using the microscope. Drawing the visual image and identifying the parts. Knowing in how to get the total magnification for the samples. The letter “e” is being cut off by a newspaper article and the cheek cells is coming from the inside of the mouth. Both of the specimen is being observed to see any differences between in a low-power and a high-power objective.

Methods

Materials to use:

* A Microscope

* 2 Slides ...

...t the letter “e” and the cheek cells. For example, in the letter “e”, the ink under the microscope is thin and dull. Comparing a normal view, the ink is thick and dark. The letter “e” is being thin, because it gives a clear details of what the newspaper letter “e” looks like. When moving the slide to the right. Looking through the ocular lens, it moved toward the left. The letter “e” moves toward the opposite direction. When the slide is moved to the left, up and down.

In the cheek cells, the methylene blue helped to identify the visual details of the cheek cells. Also, in how to focus the image in using the coarse and the fine adjustment knob. Drawing the images and place it on figures 1-5 it indicate the drawing , the magnification and the labeling. Knowing how to use the microscope functions and properties. The results of the lab activity was a success.
