|---|---|
| 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. |

| This microscope uses an incredibly fine point to "see" things. | Scanning probe |
