It is an essential piece of ‘equipment for courses such as high school biology. Students of all ages can benefit from access to a microscope. The word microscope is derived from the Greek words small (little) and scope (see at), and that’s what a microscope does. It permits clients to see at things ‘as well little to be seen by the bare eye. Microscopes have been around since the late 1500's when the earliest versions were created in the Netherlands. A microscope is one of the more costly classroom investments. It is important that students know how to utilize and care for it. Proper use begins with understanding the parts of a microscope and each part's function.What’s In Arrange the jumbled letters to reveal the names of some parts of the microscope. 1. It protects the objectives from dust or dirt. dstu siehld 2. They hold the glass slide in place. tsage ilpse 3. It is where the revolving nosepiece and the draw tube are attached. bdoy ubet 4. It holds the objectives, osen iecpe 5. It supports the entire body of the microscope. ebsa q=/ x Notes to the Teacher This module was designed to the students to learn about microscope. They will enable to identify the different parts and functions of microscope. This will help them to understand the basic parts of microscope so that they are ready to dive into a world previously unseen.8 What’s New Match the parts of the microscope with their functions. Put the letter next to the part of the microscope that fits the description. 1. Adjustment knob: A. The focal point the viewer looks through to see the specimen through the diaphragm 2, Stage: B. Holds two or more objective lenses and can be rotated to change power | 3. Arm: C. Located on the side of the frame, ‘used to adjust the focus of the | | microscope | 4. Light source: D. Holds the slide in place on the stage 5. Diaphragm: E. Light or mirror that projects light F. The lens or system of lenses in a microscope that is nearest the object, being viewed 7, Stage clips: __ G. Located on the stage, adjusts the | amount of light passing into slide | | 8. Objectives: ___ H. The bottom of the microscope, | used for support 9. Base: 1. Supports upper part of the microscope 10. Nosepiece: J. Small platform where the specimen is mounted for examinationGQ) What is It There are many types of microscopes that can a nest according to the object that needs to be seen. However, the compount se is the one often used in schools. Here are the parts of the compound mi and their functions. yr Lens (Eyepiece) Body Tube Photo:hip://Aubiclogy.cr/bolegyweb/labmicoscope fls/mage02 pg‘Table 1 Parts of the compound microscope and their functions Part Ocular tens or Eyepiece Body tube Revolving Nosepiece Objectives Its to assemble lights and improve magnification | b. low power objective - with 10x magnification a Funetion It in where one looks through to see the image of the specimen, It is along tube that holds the eyepiece and connects to the objectives It is a rotating part of the microscope at the bottom of the body tube. It is also holds the objective lens &, scanning objective ~ with 4x magnification ©. high power objective - with 40x magnification 4, oil immersion objective with 100x magnification By knowing the magnification of the eyepiece and the objectives, you can solve for the total magnification of the microscope. To do this, multiply the magnification of the eyepiece with the magnification of the objective. For example, the magnification of a scanning objective is 4x and the magnification of the eyepiece is 10x. ‘Therefore, the total magnification of the microscope is (4x) (10x) = 40x. This means that the microscope can magnify an object 40 times (40x). Arm It is used to carry the microscope with. Coarse Adjustment Knob It is a large, round knob on the side of the microscope. Fine Adjustment Knob It is a small round knob on the side of the microscope. It is a large, flat area under the objectives. The slide is Stage placed on the stage for viewing. . These are the clips on top of the stage which hold the Stage Clips slide in place. Diaphragm It controls the amount of light on the specimen. Light source or mirror It is the source of light which is usually found near the base of microscope. The light source makes it easier to see the specimen to be observed. Base It supports the microscope.HOW TO USE THE MICROSCOPE Photo: clip art kidsabeteach com ‘The microscope is an expensive instrument. It needs to be handled carefully and Proper. ‘The following are ways on using a microscope. 1. To transfer your microscope from the shelf to your table, carry it with two hands. Hold the arm with one hand and place the other hand beneath the base for support. 2. Place the microscope on you table with the arm pointing toward you. 3. Check the lighting of the room. Make sure you have enough light to view the specimen. 4. Raise the body tube by turning the coarse adjustment knob. 5. Turn the revolving nosepiece. Set the objective lens to the lowest power. The lowest power is the shortest objective lens. As you revolve the nose piece, you will hear a “click” sound indicating that you set it in position. 6. Place the glass slide on the stage and position it in the middle. And use the stage clip to hold the slide in place. 7. Turn the coarse adjustment knob carefully to lower the body tube as near as it will go without touching the glass slide. Look at the stage side to side. 8. Look through the eyepiece to adjust the light that is passing through the microscope. You can adjust the mirror to reflect the greatest amount of light. 9. Slowly turn the coarse adjustment knob to move the objective lens up. Continue until the image comes to focus. Use the fine adjustment knob to finer focusing. 10.To turn to the highest power objective, look at the microscope from the side. The highest power objective is the longest objective lens. Then turn the revolving nosepiece until the highest power objective clicks into place. 11.Look through the eyepiece and slowly turn the coarse adjustment knob to focus the image. Use the fine adjustment knob for fine focusing. 12. When finished, raise the body tube and position the lowest power objective lens. Remove the glass slide and return the microscope to its shelf.Cy) What’s More Fill in the blanks. Choose your answer inside the box. 1. In focusing a specimen, you should always begin with the objective. 2. In using the high power objective, only the knob should be utilized. 3. _____ microscope is used in most science class. 4. Which part of the microscope can adjust the amount of light that hits the slide? 5. By the and the __, we should carry the microscope. 6. The objectives are connected to what part of the microscope 7. The glass slide is placed on the _for viewing. 8. If a microscope has an ocular objective of 20x and a high power objective of 50x. What is this microscopes total magnification?Microscope is used to enlarge image of an object. It is used to see objects that can't be seen by the naked eye. Compound microscope is made up of lenses. When light passes through a lens, it bends making the image appear to increase size. Microscope is an expensive instrument. Handle it carefully and properly. Image formed under the microscope is different from the original specimen. The image formed is always upside down. When you move the glass slide, the image will always move to other side. ‘The numbers found in the eyepiece and objective lens determine how big the enlargement of the image seen under the microscope. 10What I Can Do A.

The lower power objective has more magnification than the medium Power objective ———4 The fine focus knob moves the stage up and down 5. Images viewed in the microscope will appear upside down 6. If the slide is thick, only parts of the specimen may come into focus 7. The type of microscope you are using is the scanning microscope 8. For viewing, microscope slides should be placed on the objective 9. In order to switch from low to high power, you must rotate the revolving nosepiece 10. The total magnification of a microscope is determined by adding the ocular lens power to the objective lens powerAdditional Activities d its Good Job!
