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 8

Describe one safety precaution you should take when using a microscope.
Describe the difference between magnification and resolution in microscopy.
Explain why it is important to use the fine adjustment knob when focusing under high power.

Fill in the blank: The __________ is the platform where the slide is placed on a microscope.
True or False: Electron microscopes use light to view specimens.
True or False: Staining is often used in light microscopy to make cell structures more visible.
True or False: The electron microscope can magnify objects more than a light microscope.
True or False: The eyepiece is also called the ocular lens.
