|---|---|
| METAL OR PLASTIC PART ON WHICH MICROSCOPE RESTS | BASE |
| SOMEWHAT C SHAPED PILLAR ARISING FROM BASE THAT SUPPORTS THE STAGE AND OCULAR COMPONENTS | ARM |
| FLAT PLATFORM ATTACHED TO LOWER PORTION OF ARM ON WHICH SLIDES OR SAMPLES ARE PLACED | STAGE |
| LEVER BENEATH OPENING IN THE STAGE, CONSISTS OF A SHUTTER-LIKE GROUP OF METAL LEAVES WHICH REGULATE THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT COMING THROUGH THE SLIDE ON THE STAGE | CONDENSER OR IRIS DIAPHRAGM LEVER |
| NOT PRESENT ON ALL MICROSCOPES - COLLECTS ILLUMINATOR LIGHT RAYS AND FOCUSES THEM - INCREASES THE RESOLUTION, ENHANCES CONTRAST OF SAMPLE | CONDENSER |
| RAISES AND LOWERS THE CONDENSER | CONDENSER ADJUSTMENT KNOB |
| CYLINDRICAL/VERTICAL PART ATTACHED AT THE TOP OF ARM FOR SUPPORT OF OPTICAL SYSTEM | TUBE/BARREL |
| REVOLVING PLATE WHICH BEARS THE OBJECTIVE LENS, ATTACHED AT LOWER END OF TUBE, CAN BE TURNED TO CHANGE THE OBJECTIVE LENS | TURRET |
| LARGER KNOB WHICH MOVES THE TUBE UP OR DOWN RAPIDLY TO GET THE SAMPLE INTO COARSE FOCUS | COARSE FOCUS |
| SMALLER KNOB WHICH MOVES THE TUBE THROUGH SHORT DISTANCES SLOWLY AND IS USED TO GET THE SAMPLE INTO SHARP FOCUS | FINE FOCUS |
| CONTROLS THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT TRANSFERRED TO THE SAMPLE | TRANSFORMER OR ILLUMINATOR |
| REMOVABLE, SHORT METAL TUBE THAT CONTAINS LENS THAT FIT INTO THE TOP OF THE TUBE - GENERALLY 10-15X MAGNIFICATION | EYEPIECE (OCULAR LENS) |
| ADJUSTMENT USED TO COMPENSATE FOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EYES | EYEPIECE FOCUSING RING |
| SMALL METAL TUBES SCREWED INTO THE TURRET WHICH INCREASE THE MAGNIFICATION OF THE SAMPLE. (OFTEN REFERRED TO AS JUST OBJECTIVE) | OBJECTIVE LENS |
| USED TO REFLECT LIGHT THROUGH A SAMPLE | MIRROR |
| USED TO ADJUST MIRROR TO REFLECT LIGHT THROUGH A SAMPLE | MIRROR AXLE |
| ALSO REFERRED TO AS SUPPLEMENTAL LENS, MAY BE FOUND ON DISSECTING MICROSCOPES AT THE BASE OF THE OBJECTIVE COVER OR TUBE | AUXILIARY LENS |
| THIS IS AN ADJUSTMENT THAT DETERMINES HOW CLOSE THE OBJECTIVE LENS CAN GET TO THE SLIDE. IT IS SET AT THE FACTORY AND KEEPS STUDENTS FROM CRANKING THE HIGH POWER OBJECTIVE LENS DOWN INTO THE SLIDE AND BREAKING THINGS. | RACK STOP |
| YOU WOULD ONLY NEED TO ADJUST THIS IF YOU WERE USING VERY THIN SLIDES AND YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO FOCUS ON THE SPECIMEN AT HIGH POWER. | RACK STOP |
| RACK STOP TIP: IF YOU ARE USING THIN SLIDES AND CAN'T FOCUS, RATHER THAN ADJUST THE RACK STOP, PLACE A CLEAR ____ UNDER THE ORIGINAL SLIDE TO RAISE IT A BIT HIGHER | GLASS SLIDE |
