KNOW YOUR LAB
EQUIPMENT
Study your notes and drawings on the lab equipment.

This is so vital when performing labs and reading


procedure.
Let’s get to know the Microscope!

Science – 6
An optical instrument
having a magnifying lens or
a combination of lenses for
inspecting objects too small
to be seen or too small to be
seen distinctly and in detail
by the unaided eye.
Ocular microscope Electron microscope
Parts of a Microscope
1. Eye Piece/Ocular- contains
the magnifying lens where we
peep through.

2. Body Tube- connects the


eyepiece to the revolving
nosepiece.
Parts of a Microscope
3. Nose Piece- holds and turns
the objectives into viewing
position.

4. Objective Lens (high, medium


and low) used to magnify the
specimen on the stage.
High power (longest lens =
40X)
Medium power (middle lens =
10X)
Low power (shortest lens =
4X)
Parts of a Microscope
5. Stage- the slide is
placed here.
6. Stage Clips- holds
the slide in place
7. Mirror- collects light
from the surrounding
and allows the light to
reflect upward.

8. Diaphragm-
regulated the amount of
light entering the body
tube.

9. Legs/Base- provides
support to the
microscope.
Parts of a Microscope
10. Light Source-
provides light to see the
object.

11. Course
Adjustment- large knob
focuses the image under
the low power.
Parts of a Microscope
12. Fine Adjustment-
smaller knob that
sharpens the image
under high and low
magnification.

13. Arm- supports the


body tube.
Parts of a Microscope
14. Slide- the
rectangular piece
that holds the
specimen.

15. Cover Slip- the


plastic square piece
that covers the
specimen.

Microscope Rules
1. When carrying the microscope you must carry it with
the ARM and the BASE.
2. The microscope must always be stored with the lowest
powered objective in place.
3. When bringing an object into focus you must use the
lowest powered objective and the course adjustment.
4. ONLY use the FINE adjustment on the highest powered
objective.
5. Lenses should only be cleaned with lens paper.
6. The whole microscope must be kept away from the edge
of the lab table.
