'Today, microscopes are of great splendour curiously on the field of Biological Science. One of its major use is to determine the sizes of microorganisms which are of great importance in infrastanding certain biological phenomena. acquiring the actual size of microscopic objects such as microorganisms using calibrated eyepiece micron caliper is termed micron caliper caliper (Echoic, et. Al. , 2000). It is important for investigators across a repress of discip bills. A biologist, for example, needs to know the arrogate size of ii organisms to provide an intelligent comparison (I. E.Almoner). The intent of this legal action is to create an awareness in proper treatment techniques ND correct use of a microscope to students pursue courses in the field of Biological Sciences. This activity is also intended to teach students microscope calibration techniques. II. Materials and Methods To able to nurse the exact mensuration of a specimen, the ocular micrometer should be cal ibrated first. By doing so, the calibration immutable (C) is obtained. To cast down the calibration unremitting, a stage micrometer, an ocular micrometer and a microscope is used.The ocular micrometer was located inside the ocular lens of the microscope and the stage micrometer on the stage. The field was adjusted so that a line in the ocular micrometer is superimposing a line in the stage micrometer. erst this was set, the number of divisions in both micrometers from the first superimposing lines to the next line that superimposed was counted. The number of divisions in the stage micrometer was divided by the divisions in the ocular micrometer. The quotient was compute by pm.The product obtained was the calibration ageless. The calibration constant was determined in each of the bearing lenses of the microscope. Once the ocular micrometer was calibrated, the pastimes were viewed and measured. The correct measurement was obtained by counting the ocular micrometer divisions oc cupied by the specimen and multiplying it by the calibration constant of the objective lens used. The deviation between the measurement should just now appear on the decimal places of the figure. Ill. Results and Discussion shelve 1. Calibration Constant chthonic Different Microscope neutral Lenses send back 1. 0 shows the summary for the computed calibration constant under the high power objective (HOP) and the the impoverished power objective (LOOP). Under the HOP, the umber of divisions in the ocular micrometer between the two superimposing lines is quad objet dart on the stage micrometer it is fiver. Dividing five by four, the value 1. 25 is obtained. This is not that the calibration constant. The value 1. 25 should be work out by Imp to rifle the C.By doing so, we get 12. Pm as the C under the HOP. For the LOOP the put down stage micrometer division is five while the ocular micrometer division is fifteen. Dividing five by fifteen we get the value 0. 3333. Multiplyi ng this value by pm, we get a C of 3. Amp under the LOOP. The calibration constant differ ender different magnifications. knock back 2. 0 surface Measurement of ameba finished Calibrated Ocular Micrometer mod* Size (MOD X ICQ Average Length HOP 61 203.

A prepared steal of Amoeba is used as the first specimen. two dimensions was measured in the specimen, the duration and the width. For the length, the specimen occupies 61 MOD under the HOP and 16. 3 MOD under the LOOP. Multiplying the MOD by the C, we get the exact size of the specimen. Under the HOP, the exact length is 203. Pm while on the LOOP it is 203. Pm. By averaging we get 203. 31 pm as the exact length of the first specimen. Same process was done with the measurement of the width. Und er the HOP, 15 MOD was occupied providing a measurement of 49. Pm. For the LOOP, four MOD was occupied providing a measurement of pm. By getting the average we get 49. Pm as the exact width of the specimen. Table 2. 1 Size Measurement of radiograph with Calibrated Ocular Micrometer 101 336. 663 337. 067 27 337. Apron 6 86. Mom 86. Mom 6. 9 86.

For the length, under the HOP, the Radiogram occupies 101 MOD loose a size of 336. Pm. Under the LOOP it occupies 27 MOD equivalent to a size of 337. Pm. By averaging, we get 337. Pm for the length of the specimen. For the width, the specimen occupies 26 MOD under the HOP which is equivalent to 86. Pm. Under the LOOP, 6. 9 MOD was occupied giving a size of 86. Pm. We get 86. Pm for the width of the specimen.\r\n'
