ELICIT What are the different types of microscope?
ENGAGE • Have you already seen or used a microscope? How does it look like?
EXPLAIN The parts of the compound microscope and its corresponding functions
are as follows;
1. Eyepiece or ocular- the lens at the top of the microscope that you look
through. On its rim, there are certain markings such as 5x, 10x, 15x, which
indicates the magnification power.
2. Body tube- is a hollow tubular structure that connects the eyepiece to
the objective lenses. It can be shifted down and up using the adjustment
knobs.
3. Arm- the part that supports the body tube and connects it to the base
of the microscope.
4. Base- the bottom of the microscope used for support. It also houses
the illuminator or mirror.
5. Stage- the flat platform where slides are placed.
6. Stage clips- hold the slides in place.
7. Mirror- it is used to reflect light from an external light source up to the
diaphragm, object to be observed, and lenses. Positioning the
microscope towards diffused light from the windows and ceiling one can
see through the eyepiece a bright circle of light called the field of view.
8. Revolving nosepiece- carries the objective lenses and can be rotated to
easily change power (magnification).
9. Fine adjustment knob- the small knob used for focusing finer details of
the specimen being viewed.
10.Coarse adjustment knob- the large knob located on the arm of the
microscope used for moving the body tube down and up for bringing the
object to be examined under exact focus.
11.Objective- a component that magnifies the images of the specimen to
form an enlarged image. There are three (3) objective lenses, namely; a.
Oil immersion objective (OIO)-used to view bacteria, very small protists,
and fungi. It is marked 97x or 100x or the word “oil”. b. High power
objective (HPO)- is marked 40x, 43x, or 60x. c. Low power objective
(LPO)- is marked 10x or 12x.
12.Inclination joint- a joint where the arm is fastened to the base. It is
used to tilt the microscope for more comfortable viewing.
13.Diaphragm- is fastened below the stage. It regulates the amount of
light passing through the specimen.
