Which of the three shows you a better

picture?

The picture taken by Famous photographer Mr.DeVera is a

better picture because it is in good quality, and is an actual picture instead of a drawn picture which

could be slightly inaccurate.

Blue Green Algae THIS SPECIMEN SHOWS STRINGS OF

YELLOW ALGAE IN THE TOP PORTION, AND IN THE BOTTOM PORTION IS A BLUE ROCK

LIKE PART OF ALGAE. THE MAGNIFICATIONS IN BOTH THE

PICTURE AND THE DRAWING ARE THE 10X

Blue Green AlgaeTHE BLUE GREEN ALGAE PICTURE ON THE LEFT

IS 10X MAGNIFIED WHERE AS THE ONLINE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS BELIEVED TO BE 100X

MAGNIFIED OF THE BLUE ALGAE SUBSTANCE ON THE BOTTOM.

Blue Green AlgaeTHE PICTURE ON THE LEFT IS 100X

MAGNIFIED OF THE BLUE ROCK ALGAE, AND THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS 10X MAGNIFIED OF THE

ACTUAL SPECIMEN.

Paramecium CaudatumTHERE ARE MORE SPECIMENS IN THE

PICTURE THEN THERE ARE IN THE DRAWING, THE PICTURE’S SPECIMEN HAVE A REDDISH COLOR. THE MAGNIFICATIONS IN ALL THE PICTURES AND DRAWINGS ARE

10X.

THE PICTURE FROM THE WEBSITE HAS ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF SPECIMENS AS THE PICTURE, AND HAS A BLUISH COLOR. THE SPECIMENS ARE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE.

THE PICTURE FROM THE WEBSITE (LEFT) HAS MANY LESS SPECIMENS THAN THE

ONLINE PICTURE (RIGHT), AND THE TWO SPECIMENS ARE DIFFERENT COLORS. THE

PICTURE FROM THE WEBSITE LOOKS MORE ROUNDED WHILE THE REDDER SPECIMEN HAS MORE SHARP EDGES.

Both pictures exhibit hair like appendages. They are both brown and have eyes and a

mouth. Both pictures are magnified at 10x.

Anopheles Larva

Both pictures of the larva display many hairs coming out of both of its sides.

They both seem to have mouth and eyes. The one on the left is yellow with some black but, the one on the right is brown.

The Larva on the left has a higher magnification than the one on the

right. Some differences between the pictures are the larva’s color and the

one on the right is transparent.

What did you learn about microscopes?

We learned that microscopes revolutionized cell study and

deepened understanding of the makeup of an organism. We

also learned that microscopes magnifications can be adjusted to study different parts of cells.

What other extra information did you gain because of this

lab?From this lab, we learned that

something as small as a cell can have complicated makeups and so many details even though they are some of the smallest things in our

world.

How could this lab have ben made

better?This lab could have

been made better by having more time to

analysis the specimens in class and having a

wider variety of specimen to choose

from.
