An instrument that produces enlarged images of small objects, allowing the observer an exceedingly close view of minute structures at a scale.
Answer:
Here are the corresponding answers to the activity. The bold texts are the answer while the texts enclosed in parentheses are their definitions.
MAGNIFYING
- Eye Piece (Magnifies the image produced by the microscope's objective so that it can be seen by the human eye.)
- Objective Lens (A very high-powered magnifying glass, with a very short focal length.)
- Course Adjustment (A rapid control that allows for quick focusing by moving the objective lens or stage up and down)
- Fine Adjustment (A slow but precise control used to fine focus the image when viewing at the higher magnifications.)
ILLUMINATING
- Diaphragm (The field diaphragm controls how much light enters the substage condenser and, consequently, the rest of the microscope.)
- Mirror ( used to direct light from the light source to the microscopic field. )
MECHANICAL
- Stage (The flat platform that supports the slides. Stage clips hold the slides in place.)
- Tube (Separates the objective and the eyepiece and assures continuous alignment of the optics.)
- Arm (Supports the tube and connects it to the base. It is used along with the base to carry the microscope.)
- Coarse Adjustment Knob (A rapid control that allows for quick focusing by moving the objective lens or stage up and down. It is used for initial focusing.)
- Base (The bottom of the microscope, used for support Illuminator: A steady light source used in place of a mirror.)
