What is a Microscope?
Microscopes are used to magnify objects that are too small to see with our eyes and it makes the little object to see in a large amount.
Eye-piece lens - The lens we look through that usually 10x magnification.
Objective lens - The objective lens has three lenses and those three has a different range of magnification such as 4x, 40x and sometimes 400x
Stage - The stage is the flat platform where you put the slides it on.
Light Source - Sometimes a microscope has a mirror to reflect the light towards the specimen.
Switch - To turn on and off the light or the illuminator.
Base - The base supports the Microscope
Neck - Supports the tube or the Eye-piece lens and connects to the base of the microscope
Stage Clip - Stage Clip holds the slides in place on the stage
Coarse focus knob - Bring the slides into general focus and it helps to move the stages and lenses relative to each other.
Fine focus knob - It also does the same thing as the coarse focus knob but in a smaller amount.
