THINGS TO REMEMBER:
A compound microscope like me, is an instrument used to
see organisms or objects that are too small to be seen by
the naked eye. Plant and animal cells, different kinds of
microorganisms and even mineral samples are microscopic
specimens since they are invisible to the eye. A microscope
is needed to see them. The microscope magnifies these
specimens several hundred times or more. The science of
investigating very tiny organisms and small objects using
microscope is called microscopy.
A compound microscope has magnifying parts that make the specimen look
bigger. Lenses, such as the eyepiece or ocular and the objective lenses are the
magnifying parts. There are different objective lenses; Low Power Objective
(LPO) covers a wide field of view, it usually has a 10X magnification; High Power
Objective (HPO) has a magnification of 40X or 43X is ideal for observing very
fine detail and it is usually longer than the LPO and oil immersion objective has
a magnification range between 60x and 100x. The illuminating parts that
regulate the amount from the source are the mirror and diaphragm. The others
are mechanical parts that function as support and for adjusting the different
parts of the microscope.
Kindly answer the questions below; write them on your Activity
