This is used to focus on your specimen when using the high power objective. | Fine focus knob or Fine adjustment knob |
Attached to to the nose piece, these have lenses that actually magnify the specimen. | Objectives |
This can be adjusted to change the amount of light allowed to pass through the specimen. | Diaphragm |
This has glass lenses, magnifies the specimen and you look into it. | Ocular |
Your slide rests on this | Stage |
If you are having trouble seeing your specimen, use the low power objective and turn this knob. | Coarse adjustment knob or Coarse focus knob |
You carry the microscope using these. | The base and arm |
The main reason a specimen for an optical microscope must be thin is so... | light can pass through it. |
We made a slide using water to hold our cover slip in place. This is a... | wet mount |
He was known for improving the microscope. | Anton Von Leeuwenhoek |
He saw little boxes in tree bark and called them cells. | Robert Hooke |
A glass lens with both sides curving out would have what kins of curve? | Convex |
