Activity
(Introductory) The teacher presents pictures of different cells such as bacterial cells, plant cell, nerve and red
blood cells seen under a microscope and asks the students the following;
 What are these pictures?
 What are we going to use to see these cells closer?
 What is the function of a compound microscope?
Activity
(Presentation)

A compound microscope is an instrument that is used to view magnified images of small objects on
a glass slide
Base- provides stability and support for the microscope when it is upright. The base also typically
holds the illuminator, or light source.
Light Source/Illuminator- Located beneath the Stage and Diaphragm. Sends light towards the
 hole in the stage.
Diaphragm- regulates the amount of light that reaches the objective lens. It is located at the bottom
of the microscope.
.Condenser: Gathers and focuses light from the illuminator onto the specimen being viewed.
Stage- Place The flat platform where the slide (specimen) is placed.
Stage Clips- Holds down the slide on the stage.
Objective lenses- High power and Low power. One of the most important parts of a compound
microscope, as they are the lenses closest to the specimen.
Nose piece- is the round part that holds the OBJECTIVE LENSES apart
Arm -Supports the body tube. Used to carry the microscope.
Fine Focus- Raises and lowers the Body Tube and used to bring objects into focus
Body Tube- The hollow tube through which light passes. It holds the lenses apart.
Course Focus- Raises or lowers the Body Tube to focus
Eyepiece-The lens you look through that magnifies the specimen.

Total magnification
The magnification of each lens is shown next to the lens:
total magnification = eyepiece lens magnification × objective lens magnification
For example, if the eyepiece magnification is ×10 and the objective lens magnification is ×40:
total magnification = 10 x 40 = ×400 (400 times)

Analysis How many objectives does your microscope have?

What is the function of the mirror? How do they differ?
Abstraction The microscope enables one to study objects too small to be seen and observed by the unaided
eye. Compound microscope uses light and lenses to magnify objects/specimens.

Application The teacher will present a picture of a microscope without labeling the parts.
Ask for volunteers to label the parts of the microscope on the board.
Write your answer on your activity notebook.
Assessment Enumerate the different parts of a compound microscope.
Is it important to use a microscope? Why? Why not?
Assignment
On a 1 whole paper (bond paper/construction paper), draw a Microscope and label its parts.
Be creative. The best output will be exhibited on the bulletin board.
To be passed on Monday.

Nose piece- is the round part that holds the OBJECTIVE LENSES into position
Arm -Supports the body tube. Used to carry the microscope.

For example, if the eyepiece magnification is ×10 and the objective lens magnification is ×40:

Analysis How many objectives does your microscope have?

Which is the scanner? The LPO (Low Power Objective)? The HPO (High Power Objective)?
What is the function of the mirror? How do they differ?
Abstraction The microscope enables one to study objects too small to be seen and observed by the unaided eye.
Compound microscope uses light and lenses to magnify objects/specimens.

Application The teacher will present a picture of each part of the microscope and asks for volunteers to match the names to
each part.

On a 1 whole sheet of paper, draw a microscope and label each part.

Activity Video presentation:

(Introductory) The teacher presents a video on how to handle a microscope.

Activity
(Presentation) 10 Steps to
Using the Microscope
1. To carry the microscope, grasp the ARM with one hand. Hold the BASE with your other hand.
2. Adjust the DIAPHRAGM while looking through the EYEPIECE.
3. Adjust the LIGHT SOURCE (mirror) until you see the circle of light.
4. Place the slide on the STAGE.
5. Center the SPECIMEN over the smal opening on the STAGE.
6. Secure the slide with the STAGE CLIPS.
7. While looking at the STAGE from the side, turn the COURSE FOCUS KNOB to lower the BODY TUBE until
the LOW POWER OBJECTIVE almost touches the slide.
8. While looking through the EYEPIECE, carefully move the COURSE FOCUS KNOB until the specimen comes
into view.
9. To switch to the HIGH POWER OBJECTIVE LENS, look at the microscope from the side.
10. Move the NOSEPIECE until the HIGH POWER OBJECTIVE LENS “clicks” into place. If the lens hits the
slide, the slide and/or lens might break. Turn the FINE FOCUS KNOB until the specimen comes into focus.

NOTES:
 Do not touch the glass part of the lenses with your fingers. Use only special lens paper to clean the
lenses.
 Always keep your microscope covered when not in use.
 Always carry a microscope with both hands. Grasp the arm with one hand and place the other hand
under the base for support.
 Only use lens paper for cleaning
  Keep objects clear of desk and cords

Analysis How many objectives does your microscope have?

Which is the scanner? The LPO (Low Power Objective)? The HPO (High Power Objective)?
What is the function of the mirror? How do they differ?
Abstraction The microscope enables one to study objects too small to be seen and observed by the unaided
eye. Compound microscope uses light and lenses to magnify objects/specimens.

Application The teacher shows pictures of the different parts of the microscope.
The student will arrange the different parts like a puzzle to form a whole microscope and label each
part.

Write your answer on a ¼ sheet of paper.

Assessment The steps on how to handle a microscope are given below. Arrange them by writing the number on
the blank before the sentence.

1. Move the NOSEPIECE until the HIGH POWER. Turn the FINE FOCUS KNOB until the
specimen comes into focus.
2. OBJECTIVE LENS “clicks” into place. If the
lens hits the slide, the slide and/or lens might break.
3. To switch to the HIGH POWER OBJECTIVE LENS, look at the microscope from the side.
4. While looking through the EYEPIECE, carefully
move the COURSE FOCUS KNOB until the specimen comes into view.
5. While looking at the STAGE from the side,turn the COURSE FOCUS KNOB to lower
