Directions: I will post clues describing the function of each part of a microscope. Anyone who wants to answer will simply match the Letter (column B/ microscope functions) next to its corresponding parts(column A).
THE FUNCTION OF EACH PART OF THE MICROSCOPE
EYE PIECE : The eyepiece lens, also known as the ocular lens , is a crucial component of a microscope, situated at the top of the body tube, close to the viewer's eye. B ody tube to connect the eyepiece and objective lenses ensuring proper alignment and light transmission .ctive and ocular lenses at the two ends.
The coarse adjustment knob is used for initial, rapid focusing by making large adjustments to the distance between the objective lens and the specimen. The fine adjustment knob is then used for sharpening the focus and making small, precise adjustments, especially at higher magnifications Revolving Nosepiece : It allows users to easily switch between different magnifications by rotating the nosepiece to position the desired objective lens
The scanning power objective lens is the smallest, about 4x, and gives a broad view. The low power objective lens is 10x, great for looking at larger parts of the sample. And the high power objective lens is 40x, for seeing tiny, detailed structures .
Stage is a platform that supports the specimen slide and allows for its precise positioning under the objective lens. iris diaphragm on a microscope controls the amount of light that passes through the condenser and onto the specimen, thereby affecting image brightness and contrast.
The base of a microscope serves as its foundation, providing stable support and often housing the illuminator (light source). The arm is the structural component that connects the head (containing the eyepiece and lenses) to the base, and it is also used to carry the microscope for safe transport.
Directions: Each group receives: A blank diagram of the microscope Word cards with names of microscope parts Function cards (descriptions of the functions) S imply match and attach the function card to its corresponding microscope part cards.
