Cellular Microscopy Techniques starts at 8 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Cellular Microscopy Techniques.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10

A student is using a microscope and wants to switch from low to high magnification. What should they do before changing the objective lens?
Describe one limitation of using a light microscope to study cells.
Describe one way in which digital microscopy differs from traditional light microscopy.

True or False: Confocal microscopy can be used to create three-dimensional images of cells.
True or False: Confocal microscopy uses lasers to produce sharp images of thick specimens.
True or False: Electron microscopes can be used to view living cells.
True or False: Phase-contrast microscopy allows observation of living, unstained cells.
