Study Notes
Microscope Components and Functions
- Eyepiece (Ocular Lens): Closest lens to the eye; provides magnification of the specimen.
- Diaphragm: Regulates the amount of light reaching the specimen; enhances contrast and resolution.
- Objective Lenses: Lowest magnification power is typically the 4x lens, used for scanning small specimens and providing a broad overview.
- Stage: Platform where the specimen slide is placed; allows for precise positioning and movement of the slide.
- Coarse Focus Knob: Focuses on low or medium power; adjusts the stage height significantly for initial focus.
- Base: Supports the entire microscope; ensures stability and balance while in use.
- Coarse Focus Function: Provides initial focus on the specimen by moving the stage rapidly.
- High-Power Objective Lens: Typically the 100x lens; offers the highest level of magnification for detailed views.
- Stage Clip: Secures the slide in place on the stage; prevents movement during observation.
