PARTS OF MICROSCOPE

Binocular Light Microscope



·       Illuminator - This is the light source located below the specimen.

·       Condenser - Focuses the light through the specimen.

·       Stage - The platform that holds the specimen.

·       Stage Clips – Hold the slide in place.

·       Objective Lens - The lens that is directly above the stage.

·       Nose Piece - The portion of the body that holds the objectives over the stage.

·       Field Diaphragm­ - Controls the amount of light into the condenser.

·       Base - Bottom of the microscope.

·       Coarse Focusing Knob - Used to make relatively wide focusing adjustments to the microscope.

·       Fine Focusing Knob - Used to make relatively small adjustments to the microscope.

·       Body – The microscope body.

·       Ocular Lens (or) Eye Piece - Lens on the top of the body tube. It has a magnification of 10× normal vision.

·       Immersion oil is used to improve the resolution of a light microscope at high power. It has the same refractive index as glass and is placed between the high-power objective and the glass slide. With no layer of air, more light from the specimen enters the objective lens instead of being refracted outside of it, resulting in a sharper image.
