Mechanical Parts
What are the Parts of the Optical Part
Ocular or Eyepiece
Objective Lens
Ocular or
Eyepiece
Lens that one looks into
Ocular lens or Eyepiece
Lens that is closest to the tissue or sample slide
Objective lens
Give the Magnification Power of the Objectives
Scanner 4x
Low Power 10x
High Power 40x
Oil Immersion Objective 100x
Formula of Total Power
Eyepiece Magnification x Objective Magnification
10 x 40(Low Power) = 400x
Holds the different objective Lenses
