Introduction to the
    Microscope
     Care
     Parts
     Focusing
• An instrument that magnifies or makes tiny
  objects look bigger
• Two kinds:
  – Simple – contains only one lens
  – Compound – two or more
2 set lenses   Choice of lens
               magnification
• This is a compound
  light microscope.
• It is called this because
  it has two or more
  lenses (the eyepiece
  lenses and the objective    Mechanism for enlarging
  lenses), and makes use      an image
  of light to produce an
  image.

                                   Each lens magnifies the
                                   image, increasing its
                                   overall size
         A lens is a bi-convex disk that bends light
                          The bent rays produces an image
The farther the light rays are bent, the larger
the image appears

                                   As the light rays are spread
Resolving power: A measure of      farther apart, the clarity or
the ability of a
lens or optical system to form
                                   resolution of the image

distinct images of two objects
with small                     Light microscopes are limited in their
angular separation.            magnification by their resolving power!

                                       the eye

                The image is always seen upside
                down and backwards from its
                actual position
The magnification
• Place the Slide on the          of the eyepiece is
  Microscope                      10 times (10x)
• Use Stage Clips to hold slide
  in place
• Open the diaphragm (shutter)
  and switch on the lamp power
• A microscope has several lens
  and each magnifies the
  specimen like a magnifying
  glass
•The two lenses are called:
   –                                              Ey
                                                  epi

                                                  e
•The eyepiece has a magnification of “10x”
•The magnification of the objective lenses vary
                  400
Ocular lens



Objective lenses
3 objective lens
are
4X,
10X and
40X
•Always start with the low
power objective (4X)
•Always focus using the
coarse knob, then the fine
focus knob.
•Centralise what you want
further magnified
•Switch to the 10X
objective lens and if
needed, to the 40X
objective lens
• Follow steps to focus
  using low power
• At high power, use only
  the fine focus knob!
• Click the nosepiece to the
  longest objective
• Do NOT use the coarse
  focusing knob as it will
  crack the slide.
• Use the fine focus knob to
  bring the slide
• Do NOT remove the slide as it is very
  close to the objective lens.
• To remove slide, switch to low-power or
  mid-power objective lens.



                 What will you find?
Let’s Review!       9.     Eyepiece

1.   Body tube



2.   Nosepiece
                    10.   Arm
3.   Low power

4.   Medium power
                    11.    Stage
5.   High power

6.   Stage clips    12.   Course adjustment

7.   Diaphragm      13.   Fine adjustment

8.   Light source

                    14.    Base
• Always carry with 2 hands – one hand on
  the arm, the other on the base
• Only use lens paper for cleaning
• Do not force knobs
• Always store covered
• Keep desk clear of objects and cords
