| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Ocular Lens | The lens where you place your eye so you can see what you are examining; it has 10× magnification |
| Arm | It is where you hold the microscope when holding |
| Nosepiece | It allows you to swap magnification lenses without touching them directly, making changes much faster |
| Turret | It turns the lenses to change the magnification |
| Objective Lenses | 4×, 10×, and 40× |
| Low-Power Objective Lens | The 4× objective lens |
| High-Power Objective Lens | The 40× objective lens |
| Stage | It provides a level base for your slide |
| Stage Clip | It holds the slide in place |
| Base | It holds the entire microscope level and stable so the image doesn’t shake; it is also another point to hold the microscope |
| Stage Adjustment Knobs | They move the slide so you don’t have to touch the slide directly to see across your sample |
| Light Adjustment Wheel | It lets you change the brightness of the light focusing on the specimen so you may see more clearly |
| Substage Lamp | It sits below the sample to make transparency within the sample more visible |
| Iris Diaphragm | It controls the amount of light |
| Coarse Focus | It roughly sharpens your view in larger increments for initial adjusting |
| Fine Focus | It sharpens your view in very small increments for final adjusting |
| Magnification | Enlargement of a specimen; a power of eyepiece × power of objective |
| Eyepiece Magnification | 10× |
| Objective Magnification Powers | 4×, 10×, or 40× |
| Resolution | The amount of detail you can see |
| red | 4x |
| blue | 40x |
| yellow | 10x |
