Question

the diagram below represents a cell in the field of view of a compound light microscope. in which direction should the slide be moved on the microscope stage to center the cell in the field of view? 1. toward a 2. toward b 3. toward c 4. toward d

Explanation:

When using a compound light microscope, the image seen is inverted. So, to move the cell (which is at the bottom - center \(C\) of the field of view) to the center, we need to move the slide in the direction of the cell's position. Since the image is inverted, moving the slide toward \(C\) will bring the cell to the center.

Answer:

1. toward \(C\)
