Question

You have been quarantined and must stay home. Design a microscope that you can build to keep yourself entertained; you may order pieces from Amazon, if necessary, but should feel a bit guilty about distracting the drivers from delivering groceries and medical supplies. . Include a diagram, with the optic components you would need. Does it require external lighting? Special lenses or mirrors? Gold-plated tubes? Calculate the angular magnification it would offer. What use would you suggest your telescope is suited for? About how much would it cost to build this device? Is it worth building? What limitations does your microscope run up against? Are they insurmountable? •

Answer 1

it requires externel lighting

Yes, It definetly need an external lightning, to luminate the observing particles Noenal plano - Convenes lens are used for the objective and eye pieces. To make a proffesional microscope we do need but for an homemade microscope we can elinunate it. Eyepiece Image at for infinity Objective Angulae magnification! Length of the tube L is large that following relationships hold to either to or fe so compared 2 mo= L Me=25 for image M=mo Me lined magnification Total magnification at o of objective Angulay oy compound microscopes magnification of eyepiece For tube length = 20 cm objective focal length to homm and eyepiece focal length fe= 50mm then the magnification can be approximatelys as follows Lineal magnification of objective = mo=-5

Angulas magnification of eyepicle - Me= www & 5 Total magnification = M =-25 us microscope can be used to see gelmes, une cellule olganisms in wate, blood cells .etc. This will cost abound 5-6 dollars for lens and another 5-7 dollars for fabrication / building the microscope frame. So, in total it would cost alound 10-15 dollars. Yes, it is worlth the building as, we have experienced the process of building an microscope which works pretty well. The first linnitation is the magnification because the lens ale fixed and the focal length changing mechanism need to be added & No they are not insurmountable because we can 30 print are the parts and enhance the efficenly of the microscope. Although this is not a professional microscope this is far better for the budget we have pulled in. -
