What to Focus On

  • Magnification increases retinal image size.
  • Total magnification = objective magnification × eyepiece magnification.
  • Resolving power means the ability to distinguish two very close objects.

  • Centrifugation separates materials using centrifugal force.
  • Differential centrifugation depends on sedimentation rate differences.
  • Density-gradient centrifugation is used for particles of similar size but different density.

  • Electrophoresis separates molecules by charge to mass ratio.
  • Agarose gel electrophoresis separates DNA by size only.
  • DNA moves towards the anode because it is negatively charged.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Robert Hooke proposed cell theory in 1665.

Magnification and resolving power mean the same thing.

In electron microscopy, the image is seen through an eyepiece like a light microscope.
