Study Notes
- Microscopes are useful for exploring small things.
- Microscopes make tiny things look big.
Microscope Lenses and Stage
- Most microscopes utilize two lenses.
- Lenses are crafted from glass or plastic.
- Lenses are able to magnify tiny objects, making them appear larger.
- To operate a microscope, the viewing item is placed on a flat surface.
- The flat surface is referred to as the stage.
Importance of Lighting
- Adequate lighting is essential for microscope use.
- Insufficient light hinders visibility of tiny objects on the stage.
- For see-through objects, position the light source beneath the stage to shine light upwards through it.
- For objects which are not see-through, place the light above the stage so the light will shine down on it.
