Hi Jasmine, Thanks for checkin out the website and being the first official student to use it! Microscopes use lenses (like the lenses in a pair of glasses or a magnifying glass) and they bend the light just enough so that you can see things that are very small. So small that we call them microscopic. When we put the milk on the glass slide, it was just a thin layer of milk. The light from underneath lit up the milk and then you can see all the shadows of the milk fat suspended in the water part of the milk. Hope this answers your question!

Why do bubbles make a mixture heterogeneous? Its just air!

How does the microscope show what you can't see with the unaided eye 💬💬

Since with the unaided eye certain things appear homogeneous, like milk, although when we look at it with a microscope it appears to be heterogeneous, so do we call those type of things Heterogeneous on tests or do we call them homogeneous?

Great question Jamin. You are absolutely right to be confused and this is a great thing! It shows that you understand the uncertainty of identifying a substance as homogeneous or heterogeneous. On a test I would explain this uncertainty exactly how you understand it. Comments are closed.
