A&P Lab Quiz #1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Base | This is the flat, bottom surface of the microscope. It is attached to the arm and supports the rest of the microscope. The in-base illuminator and dimmer switch are located in the base. |
| Stage | This is a flat surface attached to the arm, which is used to place the slide of the specimen. It has a small opening in the center which allows the light beam from the illuminator to come through the specimen on the slide. |
| Revolving Nosepiece | This is located on the bottom of the body tube. It is attached to the objective lenses. It is used to position one objective lens at a time above the light beam coming from the specimen. |
| Objective Lenses | These lenses determine how many times the image of a specimen will be magnified. They collect light coming from the specimen and magnify the image. Light is then directed through the body tube. |
| Coarse Focus Knob | These knobs are used to focus the specimen and bring it into vie. |
| Fine Focus Knob | These knobs allow focusing on the fine details of the specimen. |
