2.  Compound Light  Visible light is used to illuminate the specimen  Glass lens bend the light to magnify the image  Magnifies up to 1,000X  Limited resolution  Able to view living things  Various techniques can be used to differentiate structures – dyes, fluorescence

3.  Electron  Beam of electrons to view image  Much greater magnification  Better resolution  Cannot view living things  Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)  Shows internal detail  Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)  Gives 3-dimensional image of surface Scanning ↑ Transmission ↓

5.  Eye piece or ocular lens  What you look thru  Magnifies 10X  Revolving nosepiece  Allow you to change the objective lens  Objective lenses  Magnify the image  Scanning Power 4X  Low Power 10X  High Power 40X  Stage  Holds the slide  Mechanical stage makes adjustments easy

6.  Light Source  Illuminates the object  Diaphragm  Adjustable lever below stage  Regulates the amount of light passing through the image (too bright – close / too dark – open)  Base  Supports the microscope  What you hold to carry it  Coarse adjustment  Focus in large increments  Only use with scanning & low  Fine adjustment  Focus in small increments

7.  Start on the scanning objective  Use the coarse adjustment to bring object into view  Use fine adjustment to make clear  Move object to center of field of view  Switch objectives use fine adjustment to make clear  NEVER use coarse adjustment on high power

8.  Place a drop of water onto slide  Place object in water  Use a probe to slowly lower the cover slip onto the slide  Try to avoid air bubbles

9.  Total magnification = magnification of the ocular lens X the magnification of the objective lens  Scanning Power Total Magnification:  10 X 4 = 40  Low Power Total Magnification:  10 X 10 = 100  High Power Total Magnification:  10 X 40 = 400

10.  Draw to the best of your ability  No scribbling  No lines/dot  Label the image  What are you looking at?  Document the total magnification that you are using at the time.  40X, 100X or 400X
