The document contains instructions for a laboratory activity on identifying and understanding the parts and functions of a microscope. Students are asked to diagram the parts of a microscope, define what a microscope is, state the functions of a microscope, describe the functions of each part, differentiate a condenser from an Abbe condenser, discuss the magnification power of objective lenses and how the eyepiece compares, explain the purpose of a rack stop, define magnification power, differentiate fine and coarse adjustment knobs, and list the 18 parts and 3 structural parts of a microscope.

Laboratory Activity 1: THE OPTICAL PARTS OF A MICROSCOPE AND THEIR FUNCTIONS
Instruction: Read information on microscopes and answer/perform the following:
1. Diagrammatically (DRAW), identify the various parts of a microscope.
2. Define a Microscope. 3. State functions of a microscope. 4. Describe the functions of each part of the microscope you have drawn above. 5. Differentiate between a condenser and an Abbe condenser. 6. What is the magnification power of the objective lenses? 7. How does the eyepiece compare to the objective lens? 8. Why is the rack stop included in the microscope from the factory, and can it be replaced? 9. What is a magnification power? 10. Differentiate between the fine and the coarse adjustment knobs. 11. List down the 18 parts of a Microscope. 12. List down the 3 structural parts of a microscope.
