BIOD 171 MODULE 3 EXAM WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS 100% SOLVED A nanometer is defined as: - 10 -9 or one-billionth of a meter True or False: A nanometer is longer than a micrometer - False A nanometer is 1000x smaller than a micrometer Resolution and contrast are two critical factors that influence your ability to see an object. Explain each. - Resolution refers to the distance between two objects at which the objects can still be seen as separate. Poor or low resolution means two or more objects may appear as one. Contrast on the other hand is the difference in light absorbance between two objects. Poor contrast gives a high background and makes the visualization of multiple objects difficult. For instance, trying to identify 2 dark colored objects at night (low light = low contrast) versus the same 2 objects in the middle of a sunny afternoon (bright light against 2 dark objects = high contrast). Assuming a fixed ocular, identify the part of the microscope you would adjust to enhance the magnification of a sample. - Objective
