The video discusses micrometry and magnification in cell structure, emphasizing the importance of measuring cells accurately using eyepiece graticule and stage micrometer. It also covers the concept of magnification, providing formulas and examples to calculate image size and actual size of objects under a microscope.
Microscope Units and Cell Measurement
Concepts covered:Micrometer, Nanometer, Millimeter, Microscope, Cell Measurement
Explains the use of micrometers as suitable units for light microscopes and nanometers for electron microscopes. Emphasizes the importance of measuring in millimeters and converting to micrometers accurately to determine the actual size of structures.
Question 1
What is the function of the stage micrometer?
Question 2
What is the suitable unit for light microscope measurements?
Question 3
How do you convert mm to micrometers?
Question 4
Why should measurements be taken in mm instead of cm?
Microscope Calibration and Magnification
Concepts covered:Microscope Calibration, Stage Micrometer, Eyepiece Graticule, Magnification, Conversion of Units
Understanding the calibration process of a stage micrometer and eyepiece graticule in microscopy, where the stage micrometer measures 100 micrometers per division and the eyepiece graticule remains constant regardless of magnification. Exploring the concept of magnification in microscopy, emphasizing the formula m = i/a and the importance of converting measurements to the same units before calculation.
Question 5
How do you use an eyepiece graticule to measure a cell?
Question 6
Why can't you use the stage micrometer to measure cell structures directly?
Question 7
How do you find the value of one eyepiece graticule division?
Question 8
What is the formula for magnification?
