1. Compound Microscope Review

2. Label parts

3. 1 – body tube
2 – revolving nose piece
3 – objective lens (high power)
4 – stage clips
5 – stage
6 – illuminator or light source
7 – rheostat
8 - base

4. 9 – fine adjustment knob
10 – coarse adjustment knob
11 – arm
12 – ocular lens (eye piece)

5. Explain what the following parts of the microscope do:
1 – ocular lens
2 – revolving nosepiece
3 – objective lenses (short vs. long)
4 – stage
5 – stage clips
6 – coarse adjustment knob
7 – fine adjustment knob
8 - rheostat

6. 1 – ocular lens – look through; magnifies 10 X
2 – revolving nosepiece – changes objective lens
3 – objective lenses (short vs. long):
short = low power; long = high power
4 – stage (supports slide)
5 – stage clips (holds slide in place)
6 – coarse adjustment knob (brings specimen into view)
7 – fine adjustment knob (brings out fine details)
8 – rheostat (adjusts light intensity)

7. What is the total magnification of a microscope if its eyepiece is 10 X and the objective lens being used is 20 X?

8. 10 X multiplied by 20 X = 200 X magnification

9. As you change from a 2 X objective to a 40 X objective, what happens to:
magnification ___________________________________
field of view ____________________________________
depth of field ___________________________________

10. As you change from a 2 X objective to a 40 X objective, what happens to:
magnification _____increases_____________________
field of view ______decreases ____________________
depth of field _____decreases___________________

11. When using a microscope you must never use the _________________ while using
the high power objective because ________________________________.

12. When using a microscope you must never use the _coarse adjustment knob_ while using the high power objective because _you may damage the lens and break the slide__.

13. If you move the slide up (away from you) while looking through the microscope, which way does the specimen appear to move? If you move the slide to the left, which way does the specimen appear to move?

14. If you move the slide up (away from you) while looking through the microscope, which way does the specimen appear to move?
down (towards you)
If you move the slide to the left, which way does the specimen appear to move?
towards the right

15. How do you clean up a microscope at the end of the lab?

16. clean the slide and cover slip
dry the stage
turn to the lowest power objective lens
lower stage using coarse adjustment knob
turn the light off
