TermDefinition
Ocular This part of a microscope magnifies the image formed by the objectives. It is the part where the viewer looks through to see the image.
Nosepiece Holds the objectives and is located below the arm and the body tube.
Base Supports the microscope and acts as a foundation.
Objectives Lenses that form the first image (before the ocular) by receiving light from the field of view.
Arm Connects to the base and holds up the ocular, body tube, objectives, and nosepiece.
Body Tube The tube between the ocular and the nosepiece/objectives.
Coarse adjustment Used to adjust the microscope in lower power.
Fine adjustment Used to adjust the microscope in high power or for fine tuning.
Stage Supports the slide and specimen when being viewed.
Stage clips Clips on the stage that hold the slide in place.
Illuminator A source of light, usually located below the stage. A lumarod (rod that collects light) is sometimes used as a source of light in microscopes that do not use electric power.
Diaphragm Controls the amount of light reaching the specimen.
Optical Microscope A type of microscope that uses visible light and a system of lenses to magnify images of small samples.
Compound Microscope A high magnification microscope that uses 2 lenses to compound (multiply) the level of magnification.
Stereo Microscope A type of optical microscope that allows the user to see a three-dimensional view of a specimen.
Confocal Laser scanning microscope Unlike compound and stereo microscopes, Confocal Laser scanning microscopes are reserved for research organizations. Such microscopes are able to scan a sample in depth, and a computer can then assemble the data to create a 3D image.
Electron Microscope An instrument in which a beam of electrons is used to produce an enlarged image of a very small object.
Scanning Electron Microscope A microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image
X-ray Microscope An instrument that uses X-rays to produce enlarged images of small objects.
Scanning Helium Ion Microscope An imaging technology based on a scanning helium ion beam.
Scanning acoustic microscope A device which uses focused sound to investigate, measure, or image an object
Neutron Microscope Use neutrons to create images by nuclear fission of lithium-6 using small-angle neutron scattering.
Scanning Probe Microscopes A method of sample surface observation that uses a physical probe to interrogate a specimen rather than light.
Reflection Electron Microscope A combination of imaging, diffraction, and spectroscopy techniques for characterization of topography, crystal structure, and composition of surfaces of single crystals.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
