you?
Good to hear that everyone
feels great today.

Great!
3. Checking of Assignment
Last meeting, I gave you an (Students will pass their assignments.)
assignment to print a photo of
a microscope. Please pass
your assignment forward and
do not stand.
B. Review
Last meeting, we discussed about the
properties of metals and non-metals.
Let’s check if you truly understood
our previous lesson

Who can give here one properties of (Student will volunteer.)

metals? Metal is a good conductor of electricity
and it is one of its property ma’am.

Ok. Very good! How about the Non-metal is a poor conductor of

properties of non-metals? electricity for example rubbers and
plastics.
Great job everybody! Now let’s move
on to our new topic for today.
C. Motivation
To prepare you from our topic for
today, Let’s do a quick group activity.
I will group you into two groups.
Group 1 from the right row and group
2 from the left row. I have here a
couple of Jumbled letters pasted on
these cardboards. What will you do is
to arrange the letters to form a word.
After that one representative of each
group will go to the front and show
their final output.

Understand?
Okay, I will give you five minutes to Yes maam.

solved the Jumbled words. Based on
you answers our topic for today is
about the parts of the microscope and
their functions.

Everybody read our objective for At the end of the lesson the students will

F. Lesson Proper.
Everybody looks at the illustration of
a microscope pasted on the board. We
have here presented the part the
microscope. Now what is a A microscope is device use to view a
microscope? very very small images or specimens that
we can’t see through our naked eye.
Great! Now that is a very good
definition of a microscope. A
compound microscope was
developed by Antoine Van
Leeuwenhoek (1632-1763), a Dutch
draper and scientist who became first
man to make and used of real
microscope. This tool is frequently
used in the field of science especially
in Biology. This optical instrument is
usually consisting lens or
combination of lenses enlarging
images.

Let’s discuss thoroughly the parts and

its function. One, we got here the
eyepiece or ocular located at the top
most of the microscope.
What do you think is the function of Ma’am, I think that part is where we can
this part? look through to see ang image of a
specimen.
Very good! The eyepiece allows the
viewer to look through and see the
magnified image of the specimen.

Next, we got eyepiece tube, where is Ma’am it is connected to the ocular/

the eyepiece tube? eyepiece.
Great! It serves as an extension tube
of your ocular. It holds the eyepiece
where the specimen is viewed.

How about the revolving nosepiece? Ma’am it can be rotated so you can
What is the function of this part? choose your desired lens.
Okay! You are right. It is used in
selecting objective lenses.

Now, where can we found the We can found objectives just beneath the
objectives? revolving nosepiece ma’am.

Excellent! Beneath the revolving

nosepiece objective lenses are
located. In a compound microscope
like in the illustration it has three
objectives such as scanner objective,
low power objective (LPO) and high
power objective (HPO). Each
objective has different magnification
power such as scanner (4x), LPO
(10x) and HPO (40x). Now what do I think it’s the HPO because it magnifies
you think has the highest 40x the specimen.
magnification? Is it the scanner? The
LPO? Or the HPO?

Good job! You got it. HPO has higher

magnification compare to the two.

How about the arms? What do you Ma’am arms are used to hold in carrying
think is this for? the microscope

You are right class. This part is used

to hold in carrying the microscope. It
also supports the tube and connected
to the base of the microscope.

We also have the stage and stage clip. Ma’am the stage is where the specimen
What is the purpose of this parts? is placed while stag clip is used to hold
the slide of the specimen.
Very good!

Then we got the adjustment knobs

which have two pairs. What are the It’s the coarse adjustment knob and fine
two pairs of adjustment knobs? adjustment knob.
Anybody who would like to answer?
Very good! How about their Coarse Adjustment knobs is used to
functions? Do you have any idea? moved the body tube up and down while
fine adjustment knob adjust slowly an
used to sharpen focused.

Now can you point out where is the Yes ma’am. It’s the large wheel while
coarse adjustment knob and fine the small wheel is fine adjustment knob.
adjustment knob?
Excellent! Always take note that no
need to confused with these
adjustment knobs because the large
wheel is the coarse adjustment while
small wheel is the fine adjustment.
Do you understand? Yes, ma’am we understood!

What about the mirror or illuminator? I think it’s for focusing the light to pass
What do you think is the purpose? through the opening of the stage.

Excellent.
How about the aperture disc? Where The aperture is on the center part and
can we find this one? beneath the stage.

Very good!

How about this part? (pointing the Ma’am that is the diaphragm, used
part in the illustration) What is the regulate incoming of light.
function?

At the bottom part of the microscope

we found the??? Base (in chorus)
Alright! We have the base. What is
this for? Anybody here who can tell Ma’am, the base function as a support
me the function of the base? and used as a stand.

Yes, very good! Just like humans we

used our legs to provide support so
that we can stand. The microscope
also has base that function for
providing support.
 Lastly, we have the on/off switch,
used to turn on and off the
microscope.

Now that you have finally understand

importance of this optical device?
Any hands who gladly want to
answer?

Alright! All of your thoughts are

correct. The microscope is important
so we can examine the small
organisms that cannot be seen in our
naked eye and will find out if that is
beneficial or not to humans. In using
microscope, we can’t only magnify
the image but we can determine the
size of specimen and we can observe
the depth of focus.
Did you understand the importance of

their functions did you all get it? Any
clarifications?

Then that’s great!
