What type of microscope would you use to view an earthworm?
An earthworm’s internal organs can be viewed through a dissecting microscope. This type of microscope allows enhanced observation of objects that are too large for a compound microscope. Because the magnification is low, this microscope cannot be used to examine cells.
Which type of microscope would work best for viewing the cell that is around 10 micrometers?
scanning electron microscope
What is the total magnification of the specimen if it is view using a 10X eyepiece and viewed under high power objectives show your solution?
The objective and ocular lenses are responsible for magnifying the image of the specimen being viewed. So for 10X objective and 10X ocular, Total magnification = 10 X 10 = 100X (this means that the image being viewed will appear to be 100 times its actual size).
Which types of microscopy can be used to observe living cells?
The two most common methods for visualizing living cells are phase-contrast microscopy and differential interference-contrast microscopy (Figure 1.26).
At what magnification can you see sperm?
A semen microscope or sperm microscope is used to identify and count sperm. These microscopes are used when breeding animals or for examining human fertility. You can view sperm at 400x magnification. You do NOT want a microscope that advertises anything above 1000x, it is just empty magnification and is unnecessary.

What shape is a cocci bacteria?
Coccus, plural Cocci, in microbiology, a spherical-shaped bacterium.
What can you see at 600x magnification?
At 30x magnification on a scanning electron microscope (left), individual hairs can be distinguished, and at 600x (right), you can see differences in the length and shape of individual hairs.
What place has the most bacteria?
While many people assume that the bathroom doorknob would be the dirtiest, the NSF found other spots that ranked higher with bacteria, including:
- bathroom light switches.
- refrigerator handles.
- stove knobs.
- microwave handles.
What’s the cleanest part of your body?
