Read Over Learning Goals.

2. Key Idea:
Microscopes are important tools that enhance our ability to study science.

3. Learning Goals Obj #1: Recall the history of the microscope. Obj #5:
Draw plate circles of specimen.
Obj # 2:
Justify the importance of the light microscope.
Obj #6:

Obj #3:
Label and describe the function of each part of the light microscope.
Obj # 4:
Calculate total magnification using the formula.
Obj # 7:
Examine prepared slides on low and high power.

6. What are you going to learn today?
Obj # 2:
Justify the importance of the light microscope.
Obj #3:
Label and describe the function of each part of the light microscope.
Obj # 4:
Calculate total magnification using the formula.
Obj #5:
Draw plate circles of specimen.

7. Obj # 2: Justify the importance of the light microscope.
What is a light microscope?
Why is the invention of the microscope important to science?
What is one of the main advantages for using a light microscope?

8. Obj #3: Label and describe the function of each part of the light microscope.
Eyepiece
Body tube
Revolving Nosepiece
Arm
Coarse Adjustment Knob
Objective Lens
Stage Clips
Fine Adjustment Knob
Stage
Lamp Switch
Diaphragm
Base

9. Obj # 4: Calculate total magnification using the formula.
Total Magnification = Eyepiece x Objective Lens
(Eyepiece: 10x)
Low Power Lens: (10x)
High Power Lens: (43x)

10. Obj # 4: Calculate total magnification using the formula.
Total Magnification = Eyepiece x Objective Lens
I have a microscope at home that has an eyepiece that magnifies an object 10x it’s normal size. The objective lens that I am using magnifies the object 80x it’s normal size. What is the total magnification of this microscope?
(10x) x (80x) = 800x
