| |
| − | ;The eyepiece or ocular (1): The part of a microscope that a user looks into. It contains a lens called the ''ocular''.
| |
| − | ;Objective (3): The objective is another lens. It is located near the specimen to be observed.
| |
| − | ;Body Tube: This is a hollow tube that connects the ocular lens to the objective lens.
| |
| − | ;Nosepiece (2): The nosepiece is the part of the microscope that the objective lenses attach to. Sometimes the nosepiece houses a prism whose function is to bend light from the image so that the user can sit comfortably instead of hunching over the microscope to look straight down on the specimen.
| |
| − | ;Stage (6): The stage is a platform where the slides are mounted.
| |
| − | ;Diaphragm (8): The diaphragm is an apparatus located beneath the stage. It focuses light onto the specimen.
| |
| − | ;Base: The base is the bottom of the microscope on which the rest of the instrument rests.
| |
| − | ;Focus knob (4 and 5): The focus knob (or knobs) adjust the distance between the ocular lens and the objective lens. This brings the specimen into focus. Microscopes often come with two focus knobs - a coarse focus and a fine focus. The coarse focus knob makes large changes in the focus. The fine focus know makes smaller adjustments.
| |
| − | ;Arm: The arm connects to the base and other parts of the microscope (such as the stage, diaphragm, and body tube) attach to it.

Definir los siguientes términos microscópicos: diapositiva. cubreobjetos, portaobjetos, fijar, coloración, aceite de inmersión, unicelular, multicelular, cilios, flagelos, plancton. --> |
| − | ;slide: A slide is a small piece of rectangular glass upon which the specimen to be viewed is placed.
| |
| − | ;coverslip: The coverslip is a piece of glass the same shape as a slide (but often thinner) used to cover the specimen. The specimen is sandwiched between the slide and the coverslip.
| |
| − | ;wetmount: Wetmounting is when the user smears a wet specimen onto a slide.
| |
| − | ;fixing: Fixing preserves a specimen so that it does not decompose. Once a specimen has been fixed, it can be stored away and looked at again later.
| |
| − | ;staining: Staining colors the specimen so that it has a higher contrast and can be more easily seen under the microscope.
| |
| − | ;oil immersion: In order to get a sharp focus at magnifications above 400X, light must be coupled between the specimen and the objective by a layer of oil. If the light travels through air it gets too distorted.
| |
| − | ;unicellular: A unicellular organism has only one cell. This includes bacteria, many algae, amoebae, and many other organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
| |
| − | ;multicellular: A multicellular organism is made up of more than one cell. This includes animals, insects, plants, and most other life that can be seen around us on a daily basis.
| |
| − | ;cilia: Cilia are small hair-like appendages around the edge of a cell which allows the cell to propel itself through water. Cells in the human body have cilia. The cilia in the respiratory tract move mucus with particles trapped out of the air we breathe back up into the throat.
| |
| − | ;flagella: A flagella is a whip-like structure at the end of a cell that allows it to swim through the water. This is the way that sperm swim. Many bacteria also have flagella for swimming through their environment.
| |
| − | ;plankton: Plankton are any type unicellular marine organism at the bottom of the food chain.

| − | <!-- 5. Collect samples of water (from ponds, streams, ditches, gutters, puddles, etc.) And search for living organisms using a microscope with at least 100X magnification. Draw five of these organisms as accurately as possible. As far as possible, identify and label your diagrams (include the magnification used.) --> | + | <!-- 5. Recoger muestras de agua (de estanques, arroyos, zanjas, cunetas, charcos, etc.) y buscar organismo vivos usando un microscopio con un mínimo aumento de 100X. Dibujar cinco de estos organismos con la mayor precisión posible. En la medida de los posible, identificar y etiquetar sus diagramas (incluyendo el aumento utilizado). --> |
| − | You will have better luck with this in the summer than in the winter, though it is not difficult to find microscopic life even in the winter. Still water is more likely to harbor microscope life than swift water. Often scraping 'scum' off of rocks will yield an interesting specimen. If necessary, instruct your Pathfinders to harvest a piece of ice from a frozen puddle in the woods or in a ditch, and let it thaw out before coming to the meeting. Aquariums and flower vases are good sources of water laden with microscopic life. Another option is to seed some tap water and let it "marinate" for a week. You can seed the water with hay, straw, grass, or even dirt from the floor. Just don't get ''too'' gross!

| − | There are '''so''' many forms of microscopic life that it is highly unlikely that you will be able to identify most of what you see under the microscope. If you cannot identify what you see, draw it anyhow, and label the parts of the cell you can identify (such as the nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm).

| − | There are six kingdoms into which living organisms are divided. All of them contain microscopic forms of life, and some of them are composed exclusively of microscopic life. Prior to 1977, Eubacteria and Archaeabacteria were considered a single kingdom called ''Monera''.

| − | ;Human food: Leavened bread and cheese would not be possible without microscopic fungi.
| |
| − | ;Human health: Most bacteria is actually helpful for human health and we have many microbes on our body when we are healthy. The stomach is filled with bacteria which help break down food. The skin naturally has bacteria that crowd out unwanted bacteria.

| − | ;Hand-washing: Frequent hand-washing carries disease-causing germs away from the body. You should wash your hands every time you finish using the bathroom.
| |
| − | ;Tooth-brushing: Brushing your teeth checks bacteria in the mouth that cause cavities and gum disease.
| |
| − | ;Vaccinations: Vaccinations cause the body to develop immunity to deadly diseases. Smallpox was eliminated worldwide as a result of vaccination programs. Polio has been reduced to near extinction in most areas of the world due to vaccination. You can see the current status of polio eradication on the globe at http://polioeradication.org/polio-today/polio-now/.
| |
| − | ;Clean clothing: Changing into clean clothing every day - particularly the socks and underwear - can prevent sickness such as athlete's foot and jock itch.
| |
| − | ;Refrigeration: Keeping food cold can slow the overgrowth of microorganisms to levels that are harmful to the human body.
| |
| − | ;Cleaning: Removing scum from showers and other moist environments, keeping counters and other surfaces free of crumbs and dust, wiping off inanimate objects (door handles, gym equipment, etc), and all the other myriad ways that we keep our living and working environments clean. This keeps harmful (or dangerously high levels of) microorganisms from entering our bodies through the air, cuts/scrapes, or through our mouth/nose/eyes/ears.
