  1. Introduction to the Microscope Nosepiece Types Care Parts Using

  2. Types of Microscopes • First microscopes were simple scopes • One magnifying lens (i.e. one magnifying glass) • Compound Microscopes • Two magnifying lenses & a source of light • Dissection Microscopes • Low magnification (cannot see cells) • Used for dissection to get a better look at the larger specimen • Scanning electron microscope (SEM) • Extremely detailed 3D views of the surface of the specimen (think of “S” for surface) • Specimens are coated with metal • Transmission electron microscope (TEM) • Electrons pass through the specimen - can view internal structure (think of “T” for through) • Specimen must be sliced into an extremely thin section - 20-100 nm and stained with metals

  5. Microscope Care • Always carry with 2 hands • Never allow cords to hang over the counter • Do not force knobs • Always use the fine focus if on any power higher than scanning (4X) • Loosely wrap the cord around the scope for storage • Never place on top of the vent in front of your station!

  8. Using the Microscope • Turn the microscope on • Lower stage • Click Nosepiece to the shortest setting (4X) • Place the Slide on the Microscope • Use Stage Clips • Look into the Eyepiece • Use the Coarse Focus to slowly bring specimen into focus • Bring specimen into focus using Fine Focus knob • Adjust diaphragm if necessary

  9. Using High Power • Follow steps to focus using low power • Carefully turn the nosepiece to the next longest objective • Do NOTuse the Coarse Focusing Knob • Use the Fine Focus Knob to bring the specimen into focus

  10. When Finished Observing • Bring stage all the way down • Turn nosepiece so that smallest objective is directly over the slide • Carefully remove the slide!

  11. Microscope Terms • Magnification • Resolution • Field of View • Depth of Focus • Image Inversion

  12. Magnification • Making an image appear larger than its actual size • For example: magnification value of 100X means an image appears 100 times larger than its actual size • Total Magnification = objective mag. x ocular mag. • Example: 40X mag. (objective) times 10X mag. (ocular) = total of 400X mag.

  13. Resolution • The ability of a microscope to show the details of an object, ability to distinguish between 2 lines • The higher the resolution the clearer the image • Both high magnification and good resolution are needed to view the details of extremely small objects clearly.

  14. Focusing on an Object • Remember: Locate and Focus on your object with the scanning (smallest) objective lens first • This provides: • Greater Depth of Focus – depth of 3D objects (layers) • Greater Field of View – how much of the image you can see
