List the basic oarts ofa microsy
The optical parts
The mechanical parts
The illuminating parts
What are the optical parts
The eyepiece (ocular) and the objectives make up the optical part.
These pieces consist of lenses which refract (bend) light resulting in the magnification of the specimen.
What is The Mechanical Parts:
Mechanical parts serve a supportive function and have a number of mechanisms that allow parts to move relative to each other. The clips, base, arm and focusing knobs are examples of mechanical parts. The body tube, in addition to supporting the eyepiece, prevents stray light from entering and distorting the image.
what are The Illuminating parts:
These parts, viz ., the mirror, diaphragm and condenser, serve to focus light on the specimen for better illumination and viewing.
Care of the microscope
How should u take care of a microscope
a. Carry the microscope upright by holding the arm with one hand and supporting the base with the other.
b. When putting the microscope away make sure that the low power objective is in line with the body tube, the slide is removed and that the clips are facing inwards.
c. Use only lens tissue to clean lenses.
