| Term | Definition |
| Low power objective lens | Provides magnification of 10x and is the shortest objective |
| High power objective lens | Provides a magnification of 40x and is the longest objective |
| Stage | Supports the specimen or slide |
| Stage clips | Clips that hold the slide or specimen in place on the stage |
| Diaphragm | Controls the amount of light on the slide or specimen |
| Course adjustment knob | Used to focus under low power (moves stage up and down) |
| Fine adjustment knob | Used to "sharpen" image under both low and high power (moves stage slightly) |
| Ocular lens (eyepiece) | Magnifies the specimen image 10x |
| Coverslip | This piece of glass used to cover and protect a specimen on a microscope slide |
| Compound light microscope | Produce magnified images by focusing visible light rays, magnification is about 1000x |
| Basic solution | Contains lower concentrations of hydrogen ions and have PH values above 7 |
| Acidic solution | Contains higher concentrations of hydrogen ions and have PH levels below 7 |
| Neutral solution | Solutions with PH reading around 7 |
| Buffer | Weak acids or bases that can react with strong acids or bases to prevent sudden changes in PH |
| Field of view ("FOV") | The diameter of the circle of light that you see when looking into a microscope |
| Slide | Glass the specimen is placed on |
| Scanning Electron Microscope | used to view great detail of the surface of a cell |
| Transmission Electron Microscope PH | used to view interior of a specimen in great detail (Ex: organelles) |
| Scanning Power Objective Lens | lens with a low magnification power and a wide field of view... used to get an overview of a specimen before switching to a higher magnification lens for closer examination. |
