 Good day grade 7 students…its another day to learn more.

Welcome to our tv
lesson for science 7 quarter 2 module 1. I am teacher angeline vacalares from
kalabaylabay integrated school. I am excited to bring you this lesson about the
microscope specifically their part and functions. At the end of the discussion you
are expected to identify the parts of the microscope and their functions. And now
get your pen and paper together with your module. Before we begin with our
new topic let’s have a review.

Arrange Me!

 The correct answer is microscope.

 Our lesson for today is about microscope. A microscope is an instrument
that can help you see objects and living organisms that are too small to be
seen by the naked eye. The image of an object is magnified through at least
one lens in the microscope. This lens bends light toward the eye and makes
an object appears larger than it actually is.
The microscope consists of three main parts which are grouped according to
their functions, namely: mechanical, illuminating, and magnifying parts.
1. Mechanical Parts - used to support and adjust other parts of the microscope
a. Base e. Inclination joint
b. Body tube f. Stage
c. Coarse adjustment knob g. Stage clip
d. Fine adjustment knob h. Revolving nosepiece
2. Illuminating Parts - used to regulate the amount of light towards the focus
specimen
a. Diaphragm
 b. Stage condenser
c. Mirror
3. Magnifying Parts - used to magnify or enlarge the image of the specimen in
focus
a. Eyepiece
b. Objective lenses
 Scanner objective
 Low Power objective
 High Power objective
 Oil Immersion objective
 Let’s now proceed to their functions.
1. Tube – Reflects light up to the viewers eye
2. Revolving Nosepiece – Allows for quick change of lens
3. Low Power Objective – The first lens you use when doing
proper microscope work. Usually 4 X
4. Medium Power Objective – The second lens you use when
doing proper microscope work. Usually 10 X
5. High Power Objective – The highest magnification used.
Usually 43 X. NEVER use the course adjustment when
using this lens.
6. Stage Clips – Use to keep the slide in place.
7. Diaphragm – Use to vary the amount of light passing
through the slide. Usually it is better if the amount of light is
low.
8. Mirror – Sends light up through the diaphragm and
through the slide for viewing
9. Eye Piece—The part you look at with your eye. Usually 10 X
magnification.
10.Neck – Used to safely transport microscope
11.Stage – Slides are placed on this
12.Coarse Adjustment – Used to make large changes in focus.
NOTE Never use this when viewing on high power
13.Fine Adjustment – Used to small adjustments of focus
14.Base – Used to safely transport the microscope
 We are done identifying the parts of a microscope and their functions. Now, let’s
proceed to your group activity.
 For your group activity listen carefully.
 Complete the paragraphs below with the parts of a compound microscope. Write your answers in the blank.

The compound microscope consists of three main parts: mechanical, illuminating, and magnifying parts. Its
mechanical parts provide support to all other parts of the microscope. The _______ holds the objectives and revolving

nosepiece in place. The coarse adjustment knob allows the movement of the tube upward or downward. On the other

hand, the ______ brings the specimen into sharp focus. The ______ and stage clips support and hold the specimen in
place. The _______ provides support to the compound microscope while the curve-shaped _______ is used for
holding the microscope when transporting. The ______ supports the compound microscope when it is in an inclined
position.

 The illuminating part consists of the ______ which allows light to pass through the ______ and controls the
8 amount of light. The magnifying part includes the ______ which is a 9lens attached to a body tube. The
specimens are magnified by the ______ which are classified into Scanner,10Low Power Objective (LPO), High
Power Objective (HPO), and Oil immersion.
1. Body tube
2. Fine adjustment knob
3. Stage
4. Base
5. Arm
6. Inclination joint
7. Mirror
8. Diaphragm
9. Eyepiece
10. Objectives
To test your understanding about the different parts of a microscope try to label the parts and what are their
functions. Write your answers in the answer sheet.

Compare your answers in the answer key provided in your module.

I hope you learn and enjoy the lesson.

See you next time.
