Which of the following is NOT a consideration in typical light microscopy?
A resolution
B magnification
c) contrast
D) centrifugation
SUBMIT ANSWER
Solution
The answer is D) centrifugation.
Explanation for each option:
A) Resolution: This is a key consideration in light microscopy as it determines the ability to distinguish two close points as separate entities.
B) Magnification: This is another fundamental aspect of light microscopy, referring to the enlargement of the image of the specimen.
C) Contrast: This is crucial in light microscopy to differentiate the specimen from the background and to see details within the specimen.
D) Centrifugation: This is not a consideration in light microscopy. Centrifugation is a technique used to separate components of a mixture based on their density by spinning them at high speed, and it is not related to the principles or operation of light microscopy.
Summary:
In typical light microscopy, resolution, magnification, and contrast are important considerations, whereas centrifugation is not.
