Explain the difference between resolution and contrast in microscopy.
Resolution refers to the distance between two objects at which they can still be seen as separate entities. Poor resolution means two objects may appear as one. Contrast is the difference in light absorbance between two objects. Poor contrast makes it difficult to visualize objects against the background.

Assuming a fixed ocular, identify the part of the microscope you would adjust to enhance the magnification of a sample.
Objective. Only the objectives and the eyepiece contribute to magnification, and since the eyepiece is fixed, the objectives must be adjusted.

What is the total magnification of a sample imaged with a 20x objective and a 15x eyepiece? Show your math.
True or False: A cell that is adherent, flat (thin), and unstained is easily identified using bright field microscopy.
False. Adherent, flat cells are almost invisible due to the limits on both resolution and contrast.

Fluorescence microscope.This type of microscope can provide detailed images of live cells without staining.
This type of microscope is used to greatly increase the contrast between samples and background by reflecting light off of the specimen.
This type of microscope uses neither halogen nor UV light sources but rather lasers to illuminate stained cells in high resolution.
