Learning How to Use the Compound Light Microscope

Introduction: Microscope is an instrument used to grow pictures of little questions that are difficult to see with the unaided eye. The compound light magnifying instrument, which will be utilized as a part of this lab movement, is an instrument with two focal points and different handles to center the picture. In this lab, we will learn about the proper use and handling of the microscope. Objectives:
• Show the fitting methodology utilized while utilizing the compound light microscope instrument effectively.
• Calculate the total magnification of the microscope and the slides we used.
• Explain how to handle the microscope properly.

Plug the microscope up
6. Place the slide on it.
7. Examine the slides
8. Draw what you see on the slide on your piece of paper.

Lab Questions:

1. What is the difference between a simple light microscope and a compound light microscope?
• Simple Light Microscope- utilizes a solitary focal point to amplify and can't achieve high amplification
• Compound Light Microscope- utilizes two arrangements of focal points - a target focal point and an eyepiece - to deliver pictures. 2. Define Total Magnification.
• Total Magnification- is controlled by duplicating the eyepiece power by the target focal point set up. This is usually in 10x mag. 3. Define Resolution.
• Resolution- is the briefest separation between two separate focuses in a magnifying lens' field of perspective that can in any case be recognized as unmistakable substances. 4. What is the function of the diaphragm on the microscope?
• The diaphragm reduces the light from under the stage which can improve the image and it controls the amount of illumination used to view the object. 5. What is the function of body tube on the microscope?
• The body tube connects the eyepiece to the objective

    Both compound and dissecting microscopes use a magnifying tube over the sample and a light source under the sample that allow you to see the object closely and clearly. The magnifying tube on both can be rotated to increase the magnifying power (giving a closer view). Both types are relatively similar in size and can be picked up, moved and set on different flat surfaces easily. Compound and dissecting microscopes have many similar parts, including a lens, stage, focus knob and coaxial controls that allow you to adjust the distance between the lens and the stage.…

    Another microscope that is commonly used is a comparison microscope. A comparison microscope combines two microscopes into one module, allowing the viewer to see what is under each of the lenses at the same time. This is particularly helpful for examining a piece of evidence with a known sample, since the two samples can be examined side by side. When using a comparison microscope, forensic scientists have to be sure to set the two objective lenses to the same magnification and other settings.…
