The compound microscope has three main parts: Mechanical, Illuminating and
Magnifying. The mechanical parts comprised of which 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.
In addition, the stage and stage clips and hold the specimen in
place.
Further, provides to the compound microscope
while the is curved shape used for holding the compound microscope when
transporting. The supports the compound microscope when it is in
inclined position.
The illuminating part consists of the which allows the light to pass
through the diaphragm that the amount of light. Further, the magnifying
part is comprised of the a lens that is attached to the body tube. The
specimens are magnified by the which are classified into Scanner,
low power objective, high power objective and oil immersion.

Inside the factory there is a headquarters room. The headquarters’ room represent the
3). . It controls all the movements happening inside
the factory and tells how the factory should operate. The workers in the factory represents
the 4). . These workers translate the information given from the
headquarters room. The factory cannot operate without energy. The power supply room
represents the 5.) . It provides energy for the factory to continue to
operate. The packaging room in the factory represents the
6.) . Inside this room, the products of the factory are
being sorted out and packaged ready to be delivered to different locations. The hallway in
the factory represents the 7.) . This hallway provides a
pathway for the workers to transport the products to other rooms in the factory. The storage
room or stock room represents the 8). . In here, the
products of the factory are being kept. The hallway with workers represents the
9.) . This hallway that is filled with workers is the closest to
the headquarters’ room. In this hallway, the cell products are also produced. The space inside
