The numerical aperature of an objective lens determines the ability of that lens to ________ portions of the specimen. 3. A stain is used to induce ______________ in the specimen. 4. The smallest element in a digital picture is refered to as a _____________. 5. The total magnification through a compound microscope is equal to the magnification of the ___________ times the magnification of the _________________. 6. Oil immersion improves light microscopy by increasing the _________________ of the medium between the objective lens and the specimen. 7. ____________________ refers to the ability to distinguish objects on each side of the plane of focus. 8. A microscopic technique used to increase contrast in an unstained specimen is ________________. 9. _______________ is the stage of mitosis in which the chromatin material begins to condense into individual chromosomes and the nuclear membrane begins to disappear. 10. _________ is the stage of mitosis when the sister chromatids begin to separate to opposite poles. 11. _________ is the stage of mitosis in which cytokinesis, the separation of the cytoplasm to the two daughter cells, occurs. 12.
