    A microscope is a tool used to view objects too small to see with the naked eye. A compound microscope has several key parts that allow it to magnify specimens. The mechanical parts include the stage to hold samples, coarse and fine adjustment knobs to focus the image, and an arm and base for support. Illuminating parts are used to light samples, like mirrors and condensers. Magnifying parts provide different levels of magnification, ranging from low to high power objectives and eyepieces. Together, these parts enable compound microscopes to provide magnified views of microscopic organisms and structures.

    Definition of Microscope

    MICROSCOPE
    - is the most common
    biological tool biologists
    often use to view objects too
    small to be seen with the
    unaided eye.

    Coarse adjustment

    The course adjustment knob


    is the larger knob and is
    used first when bringing a
    specimen into focus.
    This moves the stage closer
    to the objective lens. Use
    caution to avoid breaking the
    slide when doing this.

    Coarse adjustment

    The fine adjustment


    knob is the smaller knob
    protruding from the
    coarse adjustment knob
    and is used to bring a
    clear image into sharper
    focus.
    The fine adjustment
    knob is used second.

    Arm

    The arm acts as support


    for the microscope and
    connects the eyepiece
    and base.

    The arm is one of the


    parts you must hold
    properly secure the
    microscope while
    carrying it.

    Stage

    The stage where your slide is


    placed for viewing. The stage
    can be moved to locate
    specimens on the slide. The
    stage sits above the light
    source.

    When placing a slide on the


    stage for viewing, remember
    that to put the stage at its
    lowest position to avoid
    accidentally breaking a slide.

    pillar

    The base acts as support. It


    is the bottom most part of
    the microscope.

    The base,
    base along with the
    arm, are used to safely carry
    the microscope to a table.

    COMPOUND MICROSCOPE

    The eyepiece is the point


    where you look at your
    specimen.

    The eyepiece has a


    magnification of 10X. This
    is important to remember
    when calculating the total
    magnification.

    COMPOUND MICROSCOPE

    Our microscopes have


    four objectives.
    objectives The
    objectives are 4X, 10X,
    40X and 100X.

    The shortest objective is


    the lowest power.
