    The document provides information about cells and how to use a microscope: 1. It defines what a cell is and where cells are found, such as in plants, animals, and microorganisms but not in non-living things. 2. It describes the proper procedure for using a microscope, including adjusting the light, placing the slide, focusing with the coarse and fine knobs, and returning the objective lens when finished. 3. It explains how to prepare slides by placing specimens and cover slips, as well as techniques for coloring specimens, and provides tips for sketching cells observed under the microscope.

    Chapter 2: Cell

    2.1 What is a cell?


    1. Cell is the basic unit of life
    2. Where does the cell is find?
    Cell is find in living thing such as human,
    plant e.g.hibiscus,……………………………..,
    animal e.g. fish, ………………………………..
    microorganism e.g.bacteria,………………………….
    3. Cell is not find in non living thing such as
    ………………………………..
    4. Cell can be seen under …………..
    Part of microscope
    Parts & function of microscope

    How to use microscope
    1. Adjust mirror so the appropriate amount
    of light passes through the hole in the
    stage.
    2. Place the glass slide onto the stage.

    3. While watching from the side, use the


    coarse focus knob to lower the objective
    lenses until coarse knob are just above the
    stage. Pressing focus knob down too far
    may shatter the slide.
    4. While looking through the eyepiece lens,
    carefully turn the coarse focus knob until
    the specimen is seen clearly.

    5. Carefully use the fine focus knob so that


    the details of specimen can be seen as
    clearly as possible.
    Important reminders when using a
    microscope
    1. When lifting the microscope, put one hand
    on the body/arm of the microscope and
    one hand under its base.
    2. The microscope should be used on a flat
    surface and not too close to the edge.
    3. Take care that the light intensity is not too
    high, or it might damage the eye.
    4. Return the shortest/smallest objective
    lens into position when finished.

    5. Remove the slide, and ensure that


    the stage is clean.
    6. Make sure that when microscope is
    not in use, it is always clean and
    carefully put away.
    Preparing slide
    1. Put a drop of water on clean slide and stain (e.g.
    iodine) if the specimen is dry specimen

    2. Place the specimen on the slide by using


    i…..
    ii……
    iii…….
    3. Cover specimen with cover slip by using ………..
    gently
    Incorrect placing of the cover slip can result in air
    bubbles.
    4. Another technique to color the specimen
    is draining technique.
    • Draining technique
    1. Put iodine drops at one end of cover slip
    2. Place a filter paper at the opposite end of
    cover slip

    • An example of a sketch from a microscope specimen step 5 how
    to sketch
    Sketching cell under the microscope
    1. Use a sharp lead pencil.
    2. Draw only the lines that can be seen
    (no shading or colouring).
    3. Diagrams should take up about a
    third to half a page each.
    4.Record the magnification next to each
    diagram.
    5. State the name of the specimen and the
    date of observation.
    6. Written description/label is also often of
    considerable value.
    7. If there are many viewing cells at one
    time, draw only two or three
    representative cells for each observation.
    magnification
    • Multiplying the eyepiece number by the
    objective lens number will give the
    magnification of the microscope. For
    example:
    • eyepiece: x 10
    • objective: x 40
    • magnification = x 400
    Return to how
    to sketch
    Field of view
    Use the ‘Field of view’
    diagrams to answer the
    following questions.
    (1000µm = 1 mm)
    field of view 1.6 mm (a) Estimate the length of
    magnification x 100 the specimen shown in
    the diagram at x100 and
    x400 magnification.
    (b) If a specimen is 1 mm
    in length, how big will it
    appear if it is magnified
    field of view 400µm x100?
    magnification x 400
