    When using a compound microscope, objective lenses can be found to have a magnification of all of the following, EXCEPT?

    • A.

      4X

    • B.

      10X

    • C.

      40X

    • D.

      100X

    • E.

      1000X

    Correct Answer
    E. 1000X
    Explanation
    A compound microscope has two lenses: an eyepiece lens and objective lens. The eyepiece lens usually has a magnification of 10X. There are objective lenses on the revolving nosepiece with varying magnifications. Most compound microscopes have objective lenses with magnification of 4X, 10X, and 40X. Some compound microscopes also have an oil immersion lens with a magnification of 100X.

    What is the total magnification achieved with a compound microscope?

    • A.

      Magnification of objective lens

    • B.

      Magnification of ocular lens

    • C.

      Magnification of ocular lens added to the magnification of the objective lens

    • D.

      Magnification of ocular lens multiplied by the magnification of the objective

    • E.

      Magnification of condenser lens multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens

    Correct Answer
    D. Magnification of ocular lens multiplied by the magnification of the objective
    Explanation
    To calculate the total magnification achieved with a compound microscope, the magnification of the ocular lens is multiplied by the magnification of the objective lens. For example, if viewing a sample with the 40x objective, the total magnification would be calculated as follows: a 10X ocular lens used with a 40X objective lens, the total magnification is 400X (10 x 40).

  • 4. 

    What is the maximum resolving power seen with a compound microscope?

    • A.

      2 millimeters

    • B.

      2 micrometers

    • C.

      2 angstroms

    Correct Answer
    B. 2 micrometers
    Explanation
    Resolving power is the ability to see two things as discrete images. With normal vision, there is a resolving power of about of 100 micrometers. A compound microscope has a resolving power of approximately .2 micrometers. In other words, two marks .2 micrometers apart can be seen as two distinct entities. Any closer than this, they are perceived as one object.

    In a good compound microscope, the focus knob does not have to be readjusted  when changing the magnification. What is this phenomenon called?

    • A.

      Parfocal

    • B.

      Unifocal

    • C.

      Bifocal

    • D.

      Focused

    • E.

      Convergent

    Correct Answer
    A. Parfocal
    Explanation
    Parafocal is the term used for a microscope if the focus knob does not have to be readjusted when changing the magnifications. This phenomenon is seen with good compound microscopes. In other words, when the specimen is in focus at 4X and the objective is switched to 10X, the specimen remains in focus.

    Correct Answer
    C. Staining
    Explanation
    There are several steps in the preparation of a slide for microscopic examination. First, the tissue is "fixed" with formalin. This preserves it. After the tissue is fixed, it is dehydrated (dehydration will occur twice during slide preparation). The tissue sample is then embedded in paraffin. This forms a solid block, so that it can be placed in a microtome. It is then thinly sliced using a microtome. A thin slice of the specimen is then placed on a slide. The paraffin is removed by dissolving it with a chemical. The tissue is then rehydrated. In order to view the tissue, it is stained. After it is stained, it is again dehydrated. A coverslip is the mounted on top of it. The specimen is then ready for viewing.

    Correct Answer
    D. Eosin
    Explanation
    Eosin is an acid dye. It will bind to and stain basic structures (or negatively charged structures), such as cationic amino groups on proteins. It stains them pink. Cytoplasm, muscle, connective tissue, and decalcified bone matrix all stain pink with eosin. "H&E" stand for hematoxylin and eosin. Hematoxylin and eosin stain is used for routine tissue preparation frequently.

    Azure II, Toluidine blue, Methylene blue, Thionine are all basic dyes.

Lipids are best displayed with a sudan stain. Silver impregnation, such as with a reticular stain, can be used to visualize reticular fibers. Collagen fibers can be differentiated from other fibers by staining with Masson's trichrome stain.

      Masson's trichrome stain

    Correct Answer
    E. Masson's trichrome stain
    Explanation
    A peripheral blood smear would be best visualized with Wright's stain. Hematoxylin and eosin stain is the most commonly used tissue stain for routine histological examination. Lipids are best displayed with a sudan stain. Silver impregnation, such as with a reticular stain, can be used to visualize reticular fibers. Collagen fibers can be differentiated from other fibers by staining with Masson's trichrome stain.

    Which of the following is NOT considered an inclusion?

    • A.

      Pigment

    • B.

      Glycogen

    • C.

      Lipid

    • D.

      Secretory granules

    • E.

      Mitochondria

    Correct Answer
    E. Mitochondria
    Explanation
    Mitochondria is an organelle. Pigment, glycogen, lipid, and secretory granules are all considered inclusions. Organelles perform an activity; they have a job; they require energy. Inclusions are for storage. Inclusions do not perform an energy requiring job.

    Collectively, what is the cytoplasm and nucleus called?

    • A.

      Plasmalemma

    • B.

      Glycocalyx

    • C.

      Protoplasm

    • D.

      Cristae

    • E.

      Ground substance

    Correct Answer
    C. Protoplasm
    Explanation
    The cell boundary is defined by the cell membrane or plasmalemma. Glycocalyx is a polysacchride that can be found on the outer surface of the cell membranes. Collectively, the cytoplasm and nucleus form the protoplasm of a cell. The folds on the inner mitochodrial membrane are called cristae. The cytoplasm that surrounds organelles is the cytoplasmic ground substance or cytosol.

    What is the term for the general process that cells us to expunge material from the cell?

    • A.

      Endocytosis

    • B.

      Exocytosis

    • C.

      Pinocytosis

    • D.

      Phagocytosis

    • E.

      Active transport

    Correct Answer
    B. Exocytosis
    Explanation
    Endotyosis is the term for the process cells use to have substances enter them. Exoctyosis is the term for the process cells use to remove substances. Phagocytosis is "cell eating" and is used for the transport of particulate matter. Pinocytosis is "cell drinking". Active transport is a method which requires energy.
