Process Questions :
1. The optical microscope, often referred to as the “light optical microscope,” is a type of microscope that uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples.
2. PARTS AND USES OF MICROSCOPE :
- Tube : Connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses.
- Eyepiece : Where you look to see the image of your specimen.
- Arm : Supports the tube and connects it to the base.
- Base : The bottom of the microscope, used for support.
- Stage : The flat platform where you place your slides.
- Fine Adjustment Knob : small, round knob on the side of the microscope used to fine-tune the focus of your specimen.
- Revolving Nosepiece or Turret : This is the part of the microscope that holds two or more objective lenses and can be rotated to easily change power.
- Coarse Adjustment Knob : large, round knob on the side of the microscope used for focusing the specimen.
- Stage Clips : hold the slide in place.
- Iris Diaphragm : controls the light going through the aperture.
- Aperture : is the hole in the stage through which the base (transmitted) light reaches the stage.
- Mirror/Light source : used to reflect light to the specimen/source of light.
3. The most obvious difference between a low power and a high power microscope is that a high power microscope can resolve smaller features, which is usually achieved with objective lenses of greater magnification.
4. COARSE ADJUSTMENT KNOB — A rapid control which allows for quick focusing by moving the objective lens or stage up and down. It is used for initial focusing.
FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB — A slow but precise control used to fine focus the image when viewing at the higher magnifications.
