Parts and Function of the Microscope

Background Information for Learners


The microscope is a tool which can help you see tiny objects and living organisms. It
makes them look bigger. This ability of the microscopes is called its magnifying power or
magnification. The microscope also has the capacity to distinguish small gaps between two
separate points which humans cannot distinguish. It is called its resolving power or resolution.
The light microscope uses diffused light from the sun or artificial light to illuminate the
object to be observed. From its source, visible light passes through the small or thin specimen
to be observed through the glass lenses. As light passes through the lenses, it is bent so
specimen appears bigger when it is projected to the eye. The form structure and structure of the
specimen can then be seen because some of their parts reflect light.

PARTS FUNCTIONS
1. HEAD This is also known as the body. It carries the optical parts
in the upper part of the microscope.

2. BASE It acts as microscopes support. It also carriers the


microscopic illuminators.

3. ARMS This is the part connecting the base and to the head and
the eyepiece tube to the base of the microscope.

4. EYEPIECE Also known as the ocular. This is the part used to look
through the microscope. It is found at the top of the
microscope. Its standard magnification is 10x with an
optional eyepiece having magnifications from 5X – 30X.

5. EYEPIECE TUBE It is the eyepiece holder. It carries the eyepiece just above
the objective lens.

Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times. 1


6. OBJECTIVE LENSES These are the major lenses used for specimen
visualization. They have a magnification power of 40x-
100X. There are about 1- 4 objective lenses placed on one
microscope, in that some are rare facing and others face
forward. Each lens has its own magnification power.

7. REVOLVING NOSE PIECE Also known as the revolving turret. It holds the objective
lenses. It is movable hence it can revolve the objective
lenses depending on the magnification power of the lens.

8. FINE FOCUS/ FINE A knob used to fine-tune the focus of a specimen in


ADJUSTMENT conjunction with the coarse focus.

9. COARSE FOCUS/ COARSE This is the knob on the side of the microscope that moves
ADJUSTMENT the objective lens up and down. It is used in conjunction
with the fine focus.

10. CONDENSER These are lenses that are used to collect and focus light
from the illuminator into the specimen. They are found
under the stage next to the diaphragm of the microscope.
They play a major role in ensuring clear sharp images are
produced with a high magnification of 400X and above.

11. ILLUMINATOR/ This is the microscopes light source, located at the base.
MICROSCOPIC It is used instead of a mirror. it captures light from an
ILLUMINATOR external source of a low voltage of about 100v.

12. RACK STOP It controls how far the stages should go preventing the
objective lens from getting too close to the specimen slide
which may damage the specimen.

13. STAGE This is the section on which the specimen is placed for
viewing.

14. STAGE CLIP It holds the specimen slides in place.

15. DIAPHRAGM It is also known as the iris. It is found under the stage of
the microscope and its primary role is to control the
amount of light that reaches the specimen.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


Focusing Specimens Using Compound Microscope

Background Information for Learners

Our eyes are not able to see small things as clearly. We may need a magnifying glass in
order to help us read and see small objects and this helps because magnification makes the
object appear bigger so we see it more clearly.
A microscope does the same thing. The most common type of microscope we usually use
in the Science laboratory is a compound microscope. This microscope has two lenses that bend
light so that a specimen is magnified and projected. To compound something means to add to
it.
The term (microscope) can be split into two separate words “micro” (means small or tiny)
and “scope” (means to view or to observe). Therefore, a microscope can be understood as an
instrument to observe tiny elements. Compound microscope also known as High Power or
Biological microscopes are important tool used to view specimens in focusing and identifying
the parts of small objects and organisms not visible to the naked eye.

Learning Competency with Code


Focus specimens using the compound microscope (S7LT-IIb-2).

ACTIVITY 1. HOW TO FOCUS?


*For BLENDED LEARNING MODALITY

Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times. 10
2. Adjust the fine focus knob. After you have adjusted the coarse focus knob, you can fine tune
your focus by adjusting the fine focus knob. This will be the smaller of the two knobs on the
side of the microscope. Just as you did with the coarse focus knob, turn this knob clockwise
and counter clockwise until you see the best picture in the eyepiece.

QUESTION 2: Where is the location of the fine focus knob in a compound


microscope? Why do you think it is located on that part of the microscope?
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________

3. Adjust the stage. You can adjust the stage up and down as well as left and right. Adjusting
the stage up and down will bring the object closer or further away. Adjust it left to right if the
object that you are viewing is not centered under the objective.

Answer Key

ACTIVITY 1:
1. In order to focus properly the specimen. It can be adjusted for clearer view.
2. It is located at the side part of the microscope. It is located at that part for easy grip and
adjustment.
3. To avoid breakage of the slide.

9. DIAPHRAGM
10. NOSE PIECE

ACTIVITY 3
1. The Fine Adjustment moves slower (or shorter in terms or distance) than the coarse
adjustment knob.
2. (Possible answers) The student may have failed to look from the side while moving the
HPO to focus on the specimen, or he may have used the coarse adjustment knob to
move down the HPO or he may have move the fine adjustment too fast and was not
able to monitor the distance of the objective from the slide. If he wanted to use the HPO,
he could have looked from the side and used the coarse adjustment knob to move the
objective down. He should have stopped when the objective has almost touched the
slide. Then, looking through the eyepiece, he should have slowly turned the fine
adjustment knob up or down until he sees the image clearly.
3. YES. The use of microscope enables one to see an enlarged view of objects and
organisms for a thorough study of their structure and function. It also has the advantage
of making one see organisms that are not visible using the unaided eye.

ACTIVITY 4
1. The parts of the cell are cytoplasm and nucleus.
2. A cell is prokaryotic if there is no well-defined nucleus; eukaryotic if the nuclear
materials are enclosed by a nuclear membrane and have membrane-bound organelles.
3. Prokaryotes –cell membrane, nucleus (without nuclear envelop), cytoplasm, some
organelles
Eukaryotes – all the structures/organelles (nucleus has a nuclear envelop)

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS


Different Levels of Biological Organization from Cell to Biosphere

Background Information for Learners

The simplest unit of life is the atom, like oxygen. Two or more atoms is a molecule,
like a dioxide. Many small molecules may combine in a chemical reaction to make up a
macromolecule, such as a phospholipid.
Multiple macromolecules form a cell, like a club cell. A group of cells functioning
together as a tissue, for example, epithelial tissue.
Different tissues make up an organ, like a lung. Organs work together to form an organ
system, such as the Respiratory System. All of the organ systems make a living organism, like
a lion.
A group of the same organism living together in an area is a population, such as a pride
of lions. Two or more populations interacting with each other form a community, for example,
lion and zebra populations interacting with each other. Communities interacting not only with
each other but also with the physical environment encompass an ecosystem, such as the
Savanna ecosystem. All of the ecosystems make up the biosphere, the area of life on Earth/
Biosphere.
The life that exists on Earth is complex and varied in its forms. Living beings have
evolved from single-celled or unicellular forms, into complex and giant multicellular bodies.
In this process of development, their body systems and mechanisms have become specialized
in nature. Thus, in the course of evolution, different stages of increasing complexity were
formed.

Answer:
The organism performs all the life processes independently. However, parts of
organism cannot exist independently of one another. In ecology, a population is a group of
individuals of the same species, inhabiting the same area, and functioning as a unit of biotic
community. However, the entire inhabited part of the earth and its atmosphere including the
living components is called the biosphere

2. What is the difference between cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism?

Answer:
The difference between organism and cell is that organism is a discrete and complete
living thing, such as animal, plant, fungus or microorganism while cell is the basic unit of a
living organism, consisting of a quantity of protoplasm surrounded by a cell membrane, which
is able to synthesize proteins and replicate itself, that organism is a discrete and complete
living thing, such as animal, plant, fungus or microorganism. Complete organism which

Animal and Plant Cell
Background Information for Learners

Cells are fundamental to the living systems of biology. All organisms are made of cells.
In the hierarchy of biological organization, the cell is the simplest collection of matter that can
be alive. Indeed, many forms of life exist as single-celled organisms. Larger, more complex
organisms, including animals and plants, are multicellular. Animal and plant cell are both
eukaryotic cells and are basically composed of the same structures, each exhibits unique
characteristics.

The table below contains a summary of the comparison between animal and plant cells.

Cell as the Basic and Functional Unit of Life
Background Information for Learners
Organisms are made up of trillion of cells. There are many types of cells present in
organisms. Each type play an important role. Cells are present in all living organism, be it
simple of complex. It is the basic and functional unit of life. Cells are essential in performing
various life processes needed to sustain life. Hence, cells provide from and structure, process
nutrients and convert it to usable energy.
Cell damage (also known as cell injury) is a variety of changes of stress that a cell
suffers due to external as well as internal environmental changes. Amongst other causes, this
can be due to physical, chemical, infectious, biological, nutritional or immunological factors.
Cell damage can be reversible or irreversible. Depending on the extent of injury, the cellular
response may be adaptive and where possible, homeostasis is restored. Cell death occurs when
the severity of the injury exceeds the cell's ability to repair itself. Cell death is relative to both
the length of exposure to a harmful stimulus and the severity of the damage caused.

Reproduction: Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
Background Information for Learners
The ability of an organism to produce new individuals is one of the characteristics that
distinguish living thing from non-living things is called Reproduction.

Types of Reproduction

1. Asexual Reproduction
➢ A type of reproduction where a single organism is the sole parent and doesn’t need
the union of cells.
➢ Gives rise to an offspring that are identical to the parent.
➢ Modes of asexual reproduction includes:
a. Vegetative reproduction
b. Binary fission
c. Regeneration
d. Budding
e. Spore formation

2. Sexual reproduction
➢ Two parents produce offspring that have unique combinations of genes.
➢ Gives rise to an offspring that is genetically unique from their siblings and both
parents
➢ Individuals that reproduce through sexual reproduction need two parents, a male
and female that produce egg cell and sperm cell called gametes.
➢ When conditions are favorable, egg and sperm unite in a process known as
fertilization, and the resulting fertilized egg called zygote contains genes from both
parents.

Learning Competency with Code


Differentiate asexual from sexual reproduction in terms of:
1. number of individuals involved;
2. similarities of offspring to parents ( S7LT-IIg-7 ).

Biotic and Abiotic Factors

Background Information for Learners


Biotic Factors
The living components of an ecosystem are called biotic factors. These are the living
organisms such as plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and protists.

A living organism has the following characteristics:


1. a unique chemical organization;
2. a cellular organization;
3. a constant energy requirement;
4. the ability to grow;
5. a definite form and size ranger;
6. the capacity to reproduce
7. a definite life span;
8. the ability to respond to stimuli;
9. variation and adaptation; and
10. the ability to move.

Abiotic Factors

The nonliving components of an ecosystem are called abiotic factors. These includes
sunlight, water, soil, minerals, air, and climate.

Plants need sunlight and water in performing photosynthesis and respiration. Humans
and animals need the sun to keep their body warm, and water for hydration. Living things also
need minerals such as calcium, iron, nitrogen, sodium and phosphorus to be healthy and keep
them going. They also need the right temperature for survival. All organisms have basic
survival needs. If one of these needs is not met in the ecosystem, the organism may die.

Everything is Connected

Background Information for Learners


Every living and non-living thing around us are interconnected in a place called
ecosystem. There are many ways living things interact with non-living things like how a parent
to a son/daughter, friends and enemies to one another. From the last module, where you have
known what are living things (biotic) and non-living things (abiotic), it is also important to
know how they live together or fight each other in order to survive in the place they live in.
That’s what we are going to learn here about ecological relationships.

Let’s check if you can identify and describe these different relationships happening in
the ecosystem.

Learning Competency with code


Describe the different ecological relationships found in an ecosystem ( S7LT-IIh-10 ).

ACTIVITY 1. MATCH-MAKING

Energy Transfer in the Ecosystem

Background Information for Learners

Energy is needed to sustain different life processes. Among organisms in an ecosystem,


only green plants and other photosynthetic organisms can make their own food using the sun’s
energy to manufacture food. Since plants produce their own food, they are called producers or
autotrophs. Producers occupy the first trophic level.
Energy flow in an ecosystem begins with the producers. The primary consumers feed
on the producers and change the energy from the plant into energy that they can use.
Subsequently, the secondary consumers feed on the primary consumers and other consumers
feed on the secondary consumers. The transfer of energy from one organism to another is called
a food chain.
In each case, as energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next trophic level,
some energy is lost as heat into the environment. If plants and animals die, decomposers like
bacteria and fungi feed on their wastes. Decomposers break down wastes into nutrients which
are returned to the soil for plants and animals to use. Without decomposers, the producers
cannot produce raw materials for building new organic matter .

Learning Competency with Code


Predict the effect of changes in abiotic factors on the ecosystem ( S7LT-IIj-12 ).

ACTIVITY 1. WHAT AM I?
DIRECTIONS: Read and analyze each riddle carefully. Identify the plant or animal being
described in each box. Write the name of the organism on the space provided.

ACTIVITY 5. FOOD WASTE MATTERS


DIRECTIONS: Read and analyze the situation presented below and answer the questions that
follow. Write the letter of your choice on the space provided.

In a dynamic science class, a group of students performed a noteworthy experiment


regarding their food waste problems at home. They were guided with objectives and procedures
of the activity. The objectives were to create a compost with food wastes, infer what happens
to the food wastes after a couple of observations, construct a food chain, and visualize the
effect of composting wastes in the ecosystem.

With the assistance of their science teacher, they cut the 1.5 L bottle horizontally two
inches away from the cap and make holes all over the bottle .Starting from the bottom of the
bottle, the layering of one cup in each item were as follows: soil, dried leaves, soil, fruit
peelings, soil, vegetable peelings, and soil at the top. Using a transparent tape, they returned
the upper portion of the bottle with cap and exposed the bottle in direct sunlight. When the soil
Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times. 63
dries up, one to two cups of water was added and made sure that the water reaches the bottom
part of the bottle. Mixing the contents and recording their observations were done once a week.
After four weeks of observation, they removed the contents of the bottle and examined
the compost through their naked eyes. A small sample of the soil was observed under the
microscope. The students constructed a food chain based from their observations.

Guide Questions:

______1. Which do you think are the organisms they see in the soil?
I. Bacteria II. Worms III. Rats IV. Bugs
