Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The numeric aperture determines resolution, which is the ability to distinguish two objects closely situated to one another as distinct entities. Increasing the numeric aperture increases resolution. Lowering the condenser changes the amount of light coming through the specimen. Magnification, whether from the ocular or objective lens, or the two combined, simply makes an image larger but cannot improve resolution. Adjusting the focus controls merely makes an image sharper, but this does not increase the resolution.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The position of the condenser is set to maximize the amount of light coming through the object; its ideal position is set when adjusting for Koehler illumination, and its ideal position is in the highest position. It should not be changed to regulate light intensity.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
