head
the broad flat lower part of the microscope that supports
base
the vertical part of the microscope that connects the head to the base
arm
lens located within the eyepiece, monocular microscopes have one ocular lens, whereas binocular microscope have two ocular lenses,
ocular lenses, typically magnify objects
magnifying lenses mounted on a rotating nose piece, most microscopes have four
objective lenses

the objective lens of compound light microscope are attached to the
connects the objective lenses to the head and allows different objective lenses to be moved into place
rotating nosepeice
which microscope structure concentrates light onto the specimen
condenser
is the distance between the speciemen and the bottom of the objective lens
working distance
flat, horizontal shelf onto which the side is placed and typically secured with a spring clamp, two control knobs can be used to move the stage to position the slide
mechanical stage
small lens locate under the stage that concentrates ligt onto the specimen
condenser
located beneath the condenser regulates the amount of light that passes through the condenser
