Help Labeling 

This diagram details the components of a typical compound microscope, labeled with corresponding letters for clarity.

- **A**: Base - The supportive structure on which the microscope stands.
- **B**: Light Source - Provides illumination to enhance viewing of the specimen.
- **C**: Stage - The platform where the slide holding the specimen is placed.
- **D**: Stage Clips - Secure the slide in place on the stage.
- **E**: Objective Lens - Responsible for magnifying the image of the specimen.
- **F**: Nosepiece - Rotatable component that holds multiple objective lenses, allowing for easy switching between magnifications.
- **G**: Ocular Lens (Eyepiece) - The lens through which the viewer observes the specimen, further magnifying the image.
- **H**: Arm - The sturdy, curved part that connects the base to the body of the microscope. It is used for carrying the microscope.
- **I**: Coarse Focus Knob - Used to adjust the focus of the microscope by moving the stage or objective lenses closer to or further from the specimen, providing large-scale adjustments.
- **J**: Fine Focus Knob - Provides small-scale adjustments to focus, used after the coarse focus for sharp clarity at higher magnifications.
- **K**: Diaphragm - Adjusts the amount of light passing through the specimen.
- **L**: Condenser - Focuses light from the light source onto the specimen.
- **M**: Power Switch - Turns the microscope's illumination on and off.

This illustration effectively demonstrates the critical elements and layout of a compound microscope, which is essential for various magnification needs in scientific studies and educational purposes.
