    This document describes the parts of a microscope and their functions. It lists the eyepiece, body tube, nosepiece, objectives, arm, stage, stage clips, diaphragm, coarse and fine adjustment knobs, light source, and base as the main parts. It explains that objectives come in low and high power, and that total magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective magnification. Basic instructions are provided for using a microscope, such as securing the slide, adjusting the nosepiece, focusing, and looking through the eyepiece.
