B. Enumerate 5 Mechanical parts of the microscope with their function.

1. Foot or Base - It is a U-shaped structure and supports the entire weight
of the compound microscope.
2. Stage - The stage is the flat, rectangular plate that connects the lower

is put to be examined and examined for its many attributes. A hole in the
stage's center allows light to pass through.

microscope to the arm. The inclination joint can be used to tilt the
microscope.
4. Diaphragm - Below the stage, the diaphragm is fixed. It regulates and
modifies the amount of light that enters the microscope. There are two
types of diaphragms: Disc Diaphragm and Iris Diaphragm
