Modern microscopes are more likely to use a camera than human viewing. This is accomplished by replacing the eyepiece in Figure 35.14 with a photo-ocular that focuses the image of the objective to a real image on the sensor of a digital camera. A typical sensor is 22.5 mm wide and consists of 5625 4.0@mm@ wide pixels. Suppose a microscopist pairs a 40* objective with a 2.5* photo-ocular.

a. What is the field of view? That is, what width on the microscope stage, in mm, fills the sensor?

b. The photo of a cell is 120 pixels in diameter. What is the cell’s actual diameter, in mm?

An astronomer is trying to observe two distant stars. The stars are marginally resolved when she looks at them through a filter that passes green light with a wavelength near 550 nm. Which of the following actions would improve the resolution? Assume that the resolution is not limited by the atmosphere.

A. Changing the filter to a different wavelength. If so, should she use a shorter or a longer wavelength?

B. Using a telescope with an objective lens of the same diameter but a different focal length. If so, should she select a shorter or a longer focal length?

C. Using a telescope with an objective lens of the same focal length but a different diameter. If so, should she select a larger or a smaller diameter?

D. Using an eyepiece with a different magnification. If so, should she select an eyepiece with more or less magnification?

A microscope with a tube length of 180mmachieves a total magnification of 800Xwith a 40Xobjectives and a 20Xeye piece. The microscope is focused for viewing with a related eye. how far is the sample from the objective lens?

A 2.0-cm-tall object is 20cmto the left of a lens with a focal length of10cmA second lens with a focal length of 15cmis30cmto the right of the first lens.

a. Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. Do this accurately using a ruler or paper with a grid, then make measurements on your diagram.

b. Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a.

Mars (6800kmdiameter)is viewed through a telescope on a night when it is 1.1×108kmfrom the earth. Its angular size as seen through the eyepiece is 0.50°, the same size as the full moon seen by the naked eye. If the eyepiece focal length is 25mm, how long is the telescope?
