Total Magnification Equasion
Objective Lens Power X Ocular Lens Power
Dpth of Field
The thickness of a specimen that can be viewed at one time
A microscope with a minimum of two magnifying lenses
Compount Microscope
smallest or red collor objective lens
4X, scanning objective lens
yellow lens
low power lens, 10X
Blue Lens
40X
Ocular
lens in the eyepiece, which typically has a magification of 10X
Head
Supports the two sets of magnifying lenses
The circle of light that one sees in the microscope
field of view
objectives
three lenses on the revolving nosepiece
scanning lens
4X
Intermediate Lens
10X
High Power Lens
40X
supports the stage and condeser lens
arm
used to focus the light from the lam through the specimen
condenser lens
adjusts the height of the condenser
adjustment knob
controls the width of the circle of light, and the amount of light passing through the specimen
iris diaphragm
supports the specimen to be viewed
stage
features that can move the stage back and fourth and left to right
stage adjustment knobs
feature that allows for the intensity of light to be adjusted
light intensity lever
Coarse focus knob
moves the stage dramatically up and down
Solution to problem: when changing the magnification from 10X to 40X, the specimen dissapears
you should change the ocular lens back to 10X and center the specimen
Solution to Problem: The field of view is too dark
light intensity knob is turned to low
the iris diaphragm is not open enough
Solution to problem: You are not seeing the details in your specimen or are not able to identify structures that you hace been asked to recognize
fine foucus, course focus, change lens
/structures that distinguish a plant from an animal cell
cell walls, chloroplasts, nuclear nuclear envelope?
