parts of the microscope 1. Stage The horizontal surface upon which the slide is placed is called the stage. The slide is held in place by spring loaded clips and moved around the stage by turning the geared knobs on the stage. Th stage has two perpendicular scales that can be used to record the position of an object on a slide. This is useful if you want to quickly relocate an object. 2. Coarse adjustment The coarse adjustment knob located on the arm of the microscope moves the stage

You place the slide on it. 4. Mirror or Light - Reflects or shines light upward through the diaphragm to illuminate the specimen. 5. Nosepiece - Holds the different objective lenses; allows the lenses to rotate for viewing. 6. Base - Supports the microscope. One hand is placed under

1. What type of microscope would be used in the laboratory to observe very small objects or organisms on a slide? Please give reasoning behind the answer. Which microscope would be useful when studying the internal structure of a minute specimen? (2 points) An Electron microscope‚ because they have high levels of magnification and because they can magnify the tiny details of the specimen with great clarity 2. List two jobs where microscopes are used. Describe in what capacity. (2 points)

Prof. Mary Flannery September 9‚ 2013 Learning parts and proper use of microscope‚ and the interception of images viewed through a light microscope Abstract: A compound light microscope uses two sets of lenses‚ ocular and objective‚ and employs light as its source of illumination. Through careful observation‚ we identified the various parts of a light microscope we found that the light microscope Ocular lenses which give 10x magnification power‚ and objective lenses which consist

The microscope has been one of the greatest inventions in the history of science and has had the most impact on the course of science. Ever since the first microscope was invented in 1590‚ they have improved our knowledge in basic biology and biomedical research‚ as well as many other things‚ all of which are important. The smallest object a human can see with the naked eye is 0.2 mm‚ for example‚ algae cells. The light microscope‚ however‚ allows us to see things almost 1000 times smaller that what

OPTICAL MICROSCOPE Introduction The optical microscope has been a standard tool in life science as well as material science for more than one and a half centuries now. The optical microscope widely use in the field of cell biology‚ microbiology‚ biotechnology‚ pharmacology‚ forensic and medical diagnosis especially when dealing with tissue fragments. It is a type of microscope which uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples. In other words‚ Optical microscope is a

Light microscopes have a low resolution‚ therefore if the magnification
