1. Microscopes

2. What is this?

4. I. Parts of the Compound Light Microscope
Metal or plastic part on which microscope rests
BASE

5. Somewhat C-shaped pillar arising from the base and supports the stage and ocular components. Used for carrying
ARM

6. Flat platform attached to lower portion of arm on which slides or samples are
STAGE

7. Collects light rays and focuses them on the specimen slide
Collects light rays and focuses them on the specimen slide. Can be adjusted for better resolution (sharper image)
DIAPHRAGM

8. Convex lens used to magnify the image; generally 10-15x magnification
Ocular or eyepiece

9. Small convex lenses screwed into nosepiece and increase the magnification of the sample.
Low power = 4x
high power =40x
OBJECTIVES

10. COARSE ADJUSTMENT KNOB
Larger knob which moves the base rapidly up or down to get the sample into coarse focus
COARSE ADJUSTMENT KNOB

11. Smaller knob which moves the base slowly through short distances to get the sample into sharp focus
FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB

12. REMEMBER:
All specimens must be thin for LIGHT to shine through them so that you can see clearly.

13. REMEMBER
Only use the FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB when focusing on medium or high power objectives!!
This avoids damaging or breaking the slide

14. Electron microscope
Electron microscope – a microscope that focuses beams of electrons instead of light rays. Produces clearer, 3D images.

15. Muscle Tissue!

16. LIGHT MICROSCOPE VS. ELECTRON MICROSCOPE
I. USED TO VIEW LIVING OBJECTS
I. OBJECTS CANNOT BE ALIVE
II. COLOR AND MOVEMENT CAN BE OBSERVED
II. BLACK AND WHITE IMAGES WITH NO MOVEMENT
III. POOR RESOLUTION
III. EXCELLENT RESOLUTION
IV. EASY TO USE/INEXPENSIVE
IV. VIEWER MUST BE TRAINED/VERY EXPENSIVE

17. Calculating magnification
Just multiply the objective lens power by the ocular lens power
Lower power: 10 X 4= 40
Medium power: 10 x10= 100
High power: 10x40=400
