Topic: Microscope Aim: Describe the structure of the compound microscope. Do Now: • Take out Cell Transport Review #2 ISA • Take out your microscope notes. HW: Castle Learning – Cell Respiration and Transport Due Friday
A normal picture of a bluebottle fly maggot. But a magnified view looks very different…
For every one human being on Earth, there are almost 2 million ants.
Pollen from a variety of plants (sunflower, morning glory, holleyhock, lily, primrose and caster bean).
A breast cancer cell that shows the overall shape of the cell's surface at a very high magnification.
Eyepiece Ocular(usually 10x) Lens you look through
Body Tube Connects eyepiece to nosepiece
Objective lenses Contains lenses Low, medium, high power
Scanning objective High power objective Low power objective • Which objective provides the larger field of view? Low or high power? Support your answer. • Low power because it has a LARGER field of view. • 2. Which objective is used when searching for the specimen on a slide? • Low power because it has a LARGER field of view. • 3. Which objective makes the image appear larger? • High power
A B • Low Power • LARGER Field of view • Used when trying to locate specimen on the slide • High Power • Smaller Field of View • More magnification
In the space at the bottom of the sheet: • Low power objective: Gives a larger field of view • High power objective: Magnifies image to provide a larger image
Nosepiece Holds & rotates obj. lenses Nosepiece
Arm Supports microscope when carried
Base Support
One hand holds the arm. The other hand is under the base. How must you ALWAYS carry a microscope???
Stage Where slide is placed
Stage Clips Hold slide in place
Light Source Illuminates specimen, provides light
Diaphragm Controls the AMOUNT of light used
Low Power • Brighter • High Power • Darker Darker under high power
Coarse Adjustment Knob Larger focusing knob
Moves stage up and down for focusing • For LOWPOWER ONLY
Fine Adjustment Knob Moves the stage slightly to sharpen the image Focus under high power
Fine adjustment Let’s summarize…Identify the microscope part described. • Used to focus the specimen under high power. • Adjusts the amount of light reaching the specimen. • Platform slide is placed on. • Objective used to view a larger field of view needed to search for a specimen. • Used to focus specimen under low power • Structure that you look through. • Contains lenses. • Keeps slide in place. • Objective used to view a larger and more magnified view of the specimen. • Objective used to search for a specimen.
