OpenStudy (caozeyuan):

BTW, can you tell me what's a dissecting microscope is, what's thediffence betw. it and thhe Comp-light ones? my teacher never tells me about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. The Dissecting microscope is one type of light microscope, it is used for examining organisms at relatively low power, it can magnify the image up to 40 times the size of the speciment. With this dissecting microscope a beam of light is produced above the stage and then reflects off of the specimen's surface, allowing it to pass through the glass lense that magnify the image. The miscroscope is useful for examining organs and tissue during a dissection. It also allows you to view the surfaces and details of the leaves, stem, mold, spores, or other small objectgs that can be seen with the nakes eye but require magnification in order to be examined closely.
