Pugong, Mark Raven T.: Virtual Microscope by BIONETWORK

This document provides instructions for using a virtual microscope and examining various specimens at different magnifications. It includes sketches of specimens viewed at different magnifications, such as a letter "e" and plant and blood cells. It asks the student to label structures seen and explain what happened to the letter "e" at higher magnifications. It also asks the student to compare blood cells to plant cells and explain how white blood cell count could indicate sickness.

Instructions: You can use the “learn” tab to familiarize yourself with the virtual microscope. Click on the “explore” tab to
examine specimens. Your sketches should be drawn as you see them in the field of view. Use the adjustments to get a
clear image.

Sample Slides - Letter E

1. Sketch the view at each magnification.

2. What did you need to do before viewing the slide at 100x?

switch lensvy moving through the first three lenses to avoid damagin the microscope.Use immersion oil first. Next, clean the lens thoroughly using the correct lens paper.

3. A common mistake for beginners is thinking that the “e” just disappears at the high magnification. How would you
explain to a younger student what happened to the e as you increase the magnification?

The letter "e" did not really disapeared, you just zoomed into microscopic level that you will only see are its parts:not a whole "e".

Plant Cells

4. Sketch the view at each magnification. You may need to adjust the light.

5. Label Your Drawings: On the 40x view, center the cell, tiny green dots are visible. These are chloroplasts. Label
them on your drawing. You can also see a large, darker circle at this view. That is the nucleus. Label it on your drawing.

Human Blood

6. Sketch the blood cells at each magnification.

7. At 100x, you will see a cell that is larger and has a dark shape in it. This cell doesn’t look like the others because it is a
white blood cell and it functions to protect your body against microbes. Red blood cells do not have a nucleus. White
blood cell count is used as a diagnostic tool to determine if someone is sick. If you were fighting an infection, would you
expect to have more or less WBC’s? Why?

Your white blood cell will tend to get higher when your body is invaded by germs or any foreign mirobes. The biological phenomenon happens because this is how your immunesystem do first

Synthesis and Discussion

8. Compare blood cells to plant cells, include details about color, general shape, and size. Write this as a complete
sentence or paragraph.
