Question

1. describe the relationship between what you see through the eyepiece and what you see on the stage.
2. offer an explanation of why this happened.
3. looking through the eyepiece, move the slide to the upper right area of the stage. what direction does the image move?
4. now, move it to the lower left side of the stage. what direction does the image move?
5. re - center the slide and change the scope to high power. you will notice the \e\ is out of focus. do not touch the coarse focus knob, instead use the fine focus to resolve the picture. draw the image you see of the letter e (or part of it) on high power.

Explanation:

1. The image seen through the eyepiece is inverted and reversed compared to what is on the stage. This is due to the way light rays are bent and focused by the lenses in the microscope.
2. Microscope lenses, especially the objective lens, invert and reverse the image. Light rays from the specimen pass through the objective lens and are refracted in a way that flips the image both horizontally and vertically.
3. When the slide is moved to the upper - right area of the stage, the image in the eyepiece moves to the lower - left. This is because of the inverted and reversed nature of the microscope image.
4. When the slide is moved to the lower - left side of the stage, the image in the eyepiece moves to the upper - right.
5. Drawing the image of the letter "e" on high power would show a magnified, inverted, and possibly blurry (initially) view of the "e". The fine focus would be used to make the details clearer.

Answer:

1. The image seen through the eyepiece is inverted and reversed relative to what is on the stage.
2. The lenses in the microscope invert and reverse the image as light rays pass through them.
3. The image moves to the lower - left.
4. The image moves to the upper - right.
5. A magnified, inverted view of the letter "e" should be drawn, adjusting with fine focus for clarity.
