Parts
The part of the microscope you look through.
What is the (ocular lens) eyepiece?
The reason a compound microscope has an ocular lens.
What is to help magnify the image?
What happens when looking through the microscope when you move the slide to the right?
What is the slide appears to move to the left?
The two parts are used to calculate the total magnification.
What is the objective and ocular?
Who was the scientist who was the first to observe bacteria?
Who is Anton van Leeuwenhoek?
The part of the microscope where you place the slide.
What is the stage?
The part that regulates the amount of light that passes through the stage.
What is the diaphragm?
Used to drop water onto a wet slide?
What is an eyedropper?
What power do you have to be on to have the biggest field of view?
What is the low power objective?
The Father and son who invented the compound microscope.
Who are Hans Lippershey and Zaccharias Hanssen?

What is the 4x (scanning lens)?
It provides support for the microscope.
What is the base and arm of the microscope?
What occurs when viewing objects under a microscope?

To prevent eye strain while observing specimens.
What is close one of your eyes when looking through the microscope lens?

What is the coarse adjustment?
The purpose of the stage clip?
What is holds the slide in place on the stage?
Used to prevent air bubbles from being trapped under the cover slip.
Why it is important to angle the coverslip and slowly lower it onto the slide?
If you switch from lowest power to medium power, what happens to the field of view?
What is the field of view decreases?
He solved the problem that light bends at different angles depending on where it hits the lens.
Who is Joseph Lister?
This part provides its own light source for the microscope.
What is the lamp/mirror
It rotates and holds the different objective lenses.
What is the revolving nosepiece?
The proper way to handle a slide to prevent smudges or fingerprinting.
What are the very outside edges of the slide?
How do you change the magnification power of the microscope?
What is the revolving nose piece that locks a different objective in place?
The type of microscope that far outpaced the optical limitations of the light microscope.
What is an electron microscope?
