Purpose of microscope in Microbiology
Bacteria is one of the small microorganisms that can’t be seen with the naked eyes, most bacteria range in size between 0.5-2.0 micrometers (μm) so, there is a need to magnify the bacteria several times by using a microscope in order to see it.
There are different types of microscopes which are used in microbial life.
In this lab, you will become familiar with the use of the light compound microscope (particularly oil immersion microscopy) and will compare the relative size and shape of various microorganisms.

Magnification
Microscope has two sets of lenses are :
1. Ocular lens (eyepiece).
2. Objetive lenes.
![Page 16: Introduction to the oil immersion compound microscope](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56815d8d550346895dcb9baf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ocular lens or eyepiece is used for viewing.
Revolving nosepiece contains objective lenses that are used to magnify the image in combination with the ocular lens.
- The objective of microscopy is not just to increase magnification, but to do so while retaining sufficient resolution.
Microscope lenses:
![Page 17: Introduction to the oil immersion compound microscope](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56815d8d550346895dcb9baf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
TOTAL MAGNIFICATION
Total magnifigation:Powers of the eyepiece
(10X) multiplied by objective lenses determine total magnification.
![Page 18: Introduction to the oil immersion compound microscope](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56815d8d550346895dcb9baf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Depth of focus: thickness of the field; as magnification increased ,
depth of focus is decreased.
Field of vision: the surface area of view; as magnification increased ,
the area of view decreased.
![Page 19: Introduction to the oil immersion compound microscope](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56815d8d550346895dcb9baf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Oil immersion lens
![Page 20: Introduction to the oil immersion compound microscope](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56815d8d550346895dcb9baf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Refraction and Refractive Index Refraction = bending.
Refractive index: measurement of the extent that the substance bend light.
Field of view > or equal 500X cause increase in diffraction due to1. the differences in refractive index between glass and lenses
(1.51) and air (1) which increase refraction,2. and small lenses present in high magnification3. so that oil is used in these lenses as it has refractive index
similar to glass, lenses and specimen which equal 1.51 ,as a result the distortion will decrease.
![Page 21: Introduction to the oil immersion compound microscope](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56815d8d550346895dcb9baf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Resolution
• The objective of microscopy is not just to increase magnification, but to do so while retaining sufficient resolution.
• Resolution: It is the ability of microscope, at specific magnification to distinguish two separate objects situated close to one another and the ability of the lens to reveal fine details.
• The smaller the distance between the two specific objects that can be distinguished apart, the greater the resolution power of the microscope.
![Page 22: Introduction to the oil immersion compound microscope](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56815d8d550346895dcb9baf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
As magnification increased the resolution also increased.
To achieve high magnification with good resolution the objective lens must be small.
Shorter wavelengths of light provide greater resolution. Under the best conditions, with violet light (wavelength = 0.4
um) and a numerical aperture of 1.4, the light microscope can theoretically achieve a limit of resolution of just under 0.2 pm.
![Page 23: Introduction to the oil immersion compound microscope](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081415/56815d8d550346895dcb9baf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Numerical Aperture
Numerical Aperture (N.A.): This is a number that expresses the ability of a lens to resolve fine detail in an object being observed. It is derived by a complex mathematical formula and is related to the angular aperture of the lens and the index of refraction of the medium found between the lens and the specimen.
