Identify the part and the function of the microscope mentioned in each situation
ANSWERS:
(Parts-Function)
SITUATION 1
Joey is about to start working on his experiment about plant cell using a compound microscope. He noticed that one of the objective lens is missing and the course adjustment knob is not working. The eyepiece lens is also broken.
Objective Lens - Objective lenses are the major part of a microscope that is used for specimen visualization. These lenses have a magnification power of 40 to 100 times. There are about one to four objective lenses placed on one microscope, in that some are rare facing and others face forward. Each lens has its own magnification power.
Adjustment Knob - These are knobs that are used to focus the specimen under the microscope. There are two types of adjustment knobs; fine adjustment knobs and coarse adjustment knobs.
Eye-piece Lens - Eyepiece or the ocular is the part used to look through the microscope. It is located at the top of a microscope. The standard magnification of this lens is 10 times with an optional eyepiece having magnifications from 5X – 30X.
SITUATION 2
Liza and her group are observing a wet mount. They are having difficulty viewing the specimen. They wanted to tilt the microscope hoping to get the proper position of the microscope.
To tilt a microscope, the part to be manipulated is the:
Inclination Joint - A joint at which the microscope arm is attached to the pillar of the microscope. It is used for tilting the microscope to get a better or proper position of the microscope.
SITUATION 3
After completing a laboratory experiment using a microscope. Kathy immediately placed the microscope inside a laboratory cabinet containing other science instruments and some laboratory chemical.
To carry and placed the microscope inside the laboratory cabinet, Kathy must carry the microscope on its Arms.
Arms - The arms of a microscope is where should it be carried. This is the part that connects the base, head, and the eyepiece tube of the microscope. It also gives support to the head of the microscope. Some high-quality microscopes have an articulated arm with more than one joint allowing more movement of the microscopic head for better viewing.
