    Exercise No. 1 Microscope and its Uses


    WORKSHEET

    Instruction: Answer all activities and guide questions in this worksheet. Submit your
    outputs in PDF file to any online platforms like facebook, messenger, e-learning portal, or
    to the following emails presented below. Make sure to rename the file as:

    Activity 1: (10 points)

    Activity 2:
    (4 points)
    Compute the total magnification of the following:
    1. Pediculus humanus capitis viewed under HPO
    (40x) Given:
    Actual size of Pediculus humanus capitis = 2mm
    Size of the image = 50mm
    Magnification= 50mm/2mm
    Magnification= 25x
    Total Magnification = 25 x 40 = 1000x

    2. Itch-mite viewed under LPO (10x) Given:


    Actual size of Itch-mite = 2mm
    Size of the image = 40mm
    Magnification= 40mm/2mm
    Magnification= 20x
    Total Magnification = 20 x 10= 200x

    (3 points)
    1. Choose a macro specimen that can be found in your home.
    2. Draw your specimen in the box provided below and compute the magnification of the
    image/drawing. (Show your computation).

    Illustration size:
    6cm/60mm Mungbean seed viewed under SPO (4x) Formula:
    Magnification = size of the illustration______________________
    Actual size: 0.2cm/2mm Actual size of the specimen
    Given:

    Actual size of Mungbean seed = 2mm


    Size of the image = 60mm
    Magnification= 60mm/2mm
    Magnification= 30x
    Total Magnification = 30 x 4= 120x

    Total Magnification: 120 x

    Activity 3. (3 points)
    1. Get water from a pond, stream, or any body of water. Try to use any available lens in
    your home that can magnify the possible contents of the water.
    2. Describe everything you see. If you cannot see anything, then discuss why and what do
    you need to visualize this. Write your answer in the space below.
    Answer:
    Although observing the water from our naked eye we can conclude that it is clean
    because of the translucent appearance, but as I used magnifying tools, the water contains
    small particles in irregular shapes thar are floating around, and it is not at all 100% clean.
    Guide questions
    1. Choose two types of microscopes, differentiate each microscope. Write your answers in
    the table below. (10 points)
    Name of the Maximum Application Advantages
    microscope Magnification Disadvantages

    1. Stereoscopic 50x These are uses low


    Microscopes commonly used magnification
    for dissection, You can clearly
    coin appraisal, see the color of
    gem and mineral the object.
    study, and
    You can use living
    entomology. They
    samples
    can also be used
    for intricate watch
    or microchip
    repair.
    2. Electron 1,000,000x Used to see High resolution Electron
    Microscope detailed structure and its microscopes are
    at the cellular and unparalleled and expensive to build
    macromolecular unprecedented and
    levels. resolving power maintain, also it
    Destroy samples

    3. Why are microscopes necessary in biological investigations? (2 points)


    Answer: Because of microscopes, scientists are able to understand biological beings
    which cannot be seen through naked eyes. And studying this microscopic organism
    sometime helps us to unravel mysteries of the world.

    4. What will happen if you do not look at the body tube's side when focusing on a particular
    specimen using the coarse adjustment knob? (1 point) Answer: Slides and lenses will
    crack.

    5. Why is water important in doing a wet mount? (2 points)


    Answer: The water improves the image quality and also supports the specimen
