Base: The bottom of the microscope —what the microscope Stands on. Arm: Structural element thal connects the head othe microscope tothe Waare. PARTS: FUNCTION | Eyepiece/Ouular Lens Body Tube, Revolving Nose Piece The leas the viewer looks through to see the specimen. t's foundat the top of the microscope. tts standard rragnification is [Ox with an optional eyepiece having magnifications from BX~ 30K. Where the eyepieces are dropped ih, Also, thay connect the eyepieces tothe objedive lenses Also Known as the evolving turrel. H holds the objecive lenses. ft is movable hence it com revolve the objective lences depending onthe magnification power of the lens, Onjective Lenses These are the major lenses used for specimen visualization. They hove a rognification power of 4Ox- |0OX.

It's an adjuctable opparotus, hence controlling the light intenstty and the size of tne beam af light that gets tothe specimen, Mirror Mirror can be the light source fora microscope, ty pically located inthe bose ofthe microscope. tris Used to reflect light froman extemal light source upthroughthe bottom Of thre stage. Most light microscopes use low voltage, halegen bulbs with continuous variable lighting comtrel as ligt source. Inclination Joint A joint at which the arm is attached to the pillay of the microscope. It isused for iting the microscope.
