Study Notes
Microscopy Basics
- Microscopy investigates small objects using a microscope.
- Simple microscopes utilize a single lens, not a set, which distinguishes them from compound microscopes.
Parts of a Microscope
- The base provides stability and supports the entire microscope from below.
- The stage is designed for placing and viewing specimens during examination.
- The body tube connects eyepiece and objective lenses, holding them in alignment.
Functions of Microscope Features
- The adjustment mechanism allows for focusing on specimens and may include the coarse and fine focus knobs.
- Stage clips secure the specimen in place for clear viewing and prevent movement.
- The inclination joint enables tilting the microscope for comfortable viewing angles.
Handling the Microscope
- The arm is the preferred part for carrying the microscope, ensuring safe transport without disturbing delicate components.
