Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.74 Microscopy Skills skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
At 100x total magnification, the field of view is 2.4 mm. What is the best prediction for 300x total magnification?
Aabout 0.8 mm, so fewer cells will be visible
Babout 7.2 mm, so more cells will be visible
Cexactly 2.4 mm, with no change
Dabout 4.8 mm, so the same number of cells will be visible
Solution & Explanation:Field of view changes inversely with magnification. 2.4 x 100/300 = 0.8 mm, so the visible area becomes smaller.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A student says, 'The cell membrane looked green because chloroplasts were pressed against the edge.' What is the best evaluation of that statement?
AIt mixes an observation with an inference about the membrane color.
BIt proves the membrane is green.
CIt shows the student cleaned the lens correctly.
DIt means the slide had no chloroplasts.
Solution & Explanation:Seeing green chloroplasts near the edge is an observation, but deciding that the membrane itself was green is an inference.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Which multi-panel diagram shows correct microscope cleanup and storage after a lab?
Aleave the slide on the stage and the highest-power lens selected
Bwipe the lenses with a sleeve and wrap the cord around the eyepiece
Cremove the slide, return to low power, turn off the light, clean with lens paper if needed, and cover the microscope
Dcarry the microscope one-handed after leaving the cord hanging
Solution & Explanation:Correct cleanup protects the microscope, prevents scratches, and leaves the instrument ready for the next class.
