Which of the following statements is/are true about microscopes? (mark all correct responses)
the "working distance" for compound microscopes and dissecting microscopes is the same for both types of scopes, so you can use either type of microscope when examining any specimen
the amount of light illuminating a sample being examined under a compound microscope can be adjusted by adjusting the iris diaphragm and the condenser
since our microscopes are parfocal and parcentered, only minor adjustments to focus and position of the sample are necessary as we go from lower magnifications to higher magnifications
in a compound microscope, the total magnification of a sample is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the eye piece (usually 10x) by the magnification of the objective lens (4x, 10x or 40x)
when using a compound microscope, the coarse focus is used to bring a sample into focus at all levels of magnification
