Question

assume an average wavelength of 500nm. (show your calculations) ) Assume the diameter of the field of vision in your microscope is 2 mm under low power. If one bacillus cell is 4um, how many bacillus cells could fit end-to-end across the field? How many 8um yeast cells could fit across the field? (show your calculations) Assuming that all other variables remain constant, explain why shorter wavelength light will produce a clearer image than longer wavelength light? h ligt will produce a cleafer imase the awlin

Explanation / Answer

Answer :

4u.m./ 1,000u.m. * 1mm = 0.004--------> 2000 bacillus cells

8u.m./ 1,000u.m. * 1mm = 0.008---------> 1000 yeast cells
