Test of Unit 2

A. Reading 1 “Use(s) of Microscopes”

 Find out the main idea

Paragraph 1 :

Before using a microscope, it’s better to consult the manufacturer’s manual. And although
different types of fluorescent microscpe, the principle remains the same.

Paragraph 2 :

All kinds of microscopes that are tried is to generalize

Paragraph 3 :

Some precaution about danger of the mercury arc lamp and when it’s safe to check
mercury arc lamp.

Paragraph 4 :

Danger of rays of the mercury arc lamp if direct contact with our eyes..

Paragraph 5 :

The importance of ensuring barrier filters are in place when using a microscope.

 Development of main idea

“Use(s) of Microscope”

A microscope is a tool used to see objects that are too small to be seen with
the naked eye. To use the microscope itself, it is better if we consult with experienced
staff to avoid mistakes in its use. There are many types of microscopes, however they
share the same principles. It's just that it may differ in the operation section.

It is possible if the operation is different, but here all kinds of microscopes are tried to
generalize.
 There are some precaution to protect ourself and other from the danger of mercury arc
lamps. First, don’t check the mercury arc lamp when it’s hot. When mercury arc lamp
hot, the inside pressure will increase to 8 atmosphere or 112 pounds per square inch.

Second, don’t expose our eyes to direct rays of the mercury arc lamp. Rays of
mercury arc lamp contain unfiltered light like ultraviolet and infrared light which are can
damaging our eyes.

Third, if you want to looking down through the microscope, ensure the barrier filter is
always in right place. The function of barrier filter is to prevent traces of ultraviolet light.

 Resume

As in the case of most sophisticated equipment of this type, it is best to consult the
manufacturer's manual before using it. Remember that pressurized mercury arc lamp is
literally a potential bomb. Design of the equipment is such, however, that with good
judgment, no injury should result. Let it cool completely before opening up the lamp
housing.

Never expose your eyes to the direct rays of the mercury arc lamp. Equipment design is
such that the bulb is always shielded againts the scattering of its rays. Be sure that the
barrier filter is always in place when looking down through the microscope. Removal of
the barrier filter while looking through microscope could eye injury.

Remember, the function of the barrier filter is to prevent traces of ultraviolet.

B. Answering question and make question

1. What is the first thing to do before using a microscope?

Answer : Before using a microscope, the best thing is consult the manufacturer’s manual.

2. What is way do microsopes differ?

Answer : They may differ considerably in the fine points of operations

3. What is a likely hazard of wrong handling of mercury arc lamp?

Answer : Can damage the eyes and may cause eye injury

4. What is the cause of the hazard?

Answer : First, it’s can damage the eyes if the rays of the mercury arc lamp direct contact
with our eyes. And then may cause eye injury if the barrier filter is removed when looking
through a microscope.

5. What is the risk of removing the barrier filter?

Answer : Removal of the barrier filter while looking through microscope could get eye
injury.

6. What is the pressure inside if the mercury arc lamp is hot?

Answer : The inside pressure increase to 8 atmosphere or 112 pounds per square inch

7. When the mercury arc lamp safe to check?

Answer : when it’s cold or wait 15 to 20 minutes of cooling time is sufficient.

8. Does the mercury arc lamp contain ultraviolet and infrared light?

Answer : Yes, it does.

9. What the function of barrier filter?

Answer : The function is to prevent traces of ultraviolet.

10. What should we do with the barrier filter?

Answer : Be sure the barrier filter is always in place when looking down through the
micrscope.

C. Reading 2 “The Liquid Filled Thermometer”

 Find out the main idea

Paragraph 1 :

Thermometer containing mercury and how it works.

Paragraph 2 :

Alcohol as a liquid substitute for mercury in a thermometer.

 Development of the main idea

“The Liquid Filled Thermometer”

This type of thermometer relies on the expansion of the liquid in relation to an

increase in temperature. Clean, dry mercury is added and the thermometer is heated to
remove air. The air is then closed off leaving only mercury and mercury vapor. The tube
length scale, calibrated in temperature units, provides a live temperature reading. Mercury
thermometer in glass is an accurate device but it is very fragile and care should be taken
when using it.

Alcohol can be used as a substitute for mercury. Alcohol is cheaper and can be used at
a lower temperature than mercury. Mercury thermometer in glass is included with the
Temperature Measurement Bench due to its stable and accurate performance. For
accurate temperature measurements using a liquid-filled thermometer, it is important that
the thermometer is immersed in the correct amount of the measured medium.

 Resume

The most common type is the mercury-in-glass thermometer. Clean, dry mercury is
introduced and thermometer heated to drive off the air. The air is then sealed leaving
 mercury and mercury vapor only. On heating, the mercury mercury expands relative to
the glass container and a column is pushed along the bore of the tube.

The mercury-in-glass thermometer is an accurate device but very fragile and care should
be exercised in used. This type of thermometer should not be used in applications such as
the food industry where mercury poisoning could occur in event of breakage. The
mercury may be replaced by other fluids according to the application. For example,
alcohol is cheaper and may be used at lower temperature than mercury.

A mercury-in-glass thermometer is supplied with the Temperature Measurement Bench

due to its stable and accurate performance.

D. Answering question and making question

1. How does this thermometer work? Explain briefly.

Answer : The thermometer is immersed into the medium being measured by correct amount.
The depth of immersion is usually stated on the stem of thermometer and defined the
condition under which calibration is maintained

2. What strengths does this thermometer have?

Answer : It’s an accurate device and its stable performance

3. What is the weakness of this instrument?

Answer : The weakness of this instrument is very fragile

4. When can we use alcohol to replace mercury?

Answer : while researching a lower temperature than mercury

5. Does the depth of immersion influence the result of the measurement?

Answer : Yes, it does.

6. When the mercury expands relative to the glass container?

Answer : On heating.

7. Can mercury thermometer be used in the food industry? Why?

Answer : No, it can’t. Because mercury poisoning could occur in event of breakage.

8. Why can alcohol be used as a substitute for mercury?

Answer : Because alcohol is cheaper and may be used at lower temperature than mercury.
