The first step is involving kids in understanding scientific research methods. They should understand the instruments that help scientists make discoveries, engineers make micro-machines, technologists understand tiny chips, and artists interpret the world they see and hear through artistic expression.

Microscopeparts and functions

A leading manufacturer of building products and solutions was managing hundreds of lift trucksacross 26 locations, which proved to be a challenge. Add limited truck usage data and maintenance spend details to the mix, and things got even more complex.The company decided it was time to take a deeper dive into truck usage per location and address perpetually high maintenance costs, so they could make informed decisions to help improve their bottom line.

When light shines, nearly everything it shines on will reflect at least some of it back. Kids can understand that our eyes gather that light. The light travels through the clear outer layer of the eye, called the cornea, to the crystalline lens. The cornea and lens work together to focus the light onto the back of the eye, where the retina converts the light to electric signals that travel along the optic nerve to the brain. The brain then interprets the signals as an image.

Objective lensmicroscope function

Muscles in the eye adjust the shape of the lens to focus correctly depending on what we’re looking at and how far away it is.

Most microscopes used in schools and labs have at least two, and usually more, lenses. Objective lenses are the lenses that directly observe the object the microscope user is examining. In stationary microscopes, the objective lens then focuses reflected light from the object up a tube toward the ocular lens, which is the lens the user looks through.

Similarly, the objective lens in a microscope captures and refracts the light reflected from an object, even a tiny object suspended in a drop of water. The refraction of light through the objective lens creates a focused and magnified image of the object you’re looking at.

In addition to simply capturing reflected light to render an image, the objective lens of a microscope magnifies the image. Many stationary microscopes have several objective lenses that the user can rotate to view the object at varying levels, or “powers,” of magnification.

The first time peering through a microscope is a memorable moment for many budding scientists. As kids grow, their early curiosity can ripen into a more serious interest in science. Teachers and parents can foster kids’ interest in STEAM fields by allowing them to explore the universe of microscopic life that surrounds us all.

The ocular lens provides additional magnification and is adjustable. Users can turn a knob or move the binocular lenses (on microscopes with two eyepieces), mimicking the adjustments the natural lens in our eyes makes to see objects at different distances. This way, users with different levels of eyesight can manipulate the eyepiece to focus the image provided by the objective lens.

Using Fleet Optics, Hyster was able to identify numerous trucks at various locations that the customer did not realize were long-term rentals but were still paying for on a monthly basis. This sometimes happens with large companies, where rental units are absorbed into their fleet without knowing they are rental units, while still paying hefty rental fees.

What iseyepiece in microscope

Now, portable, lightweight microscopes have objective lenses that work together with cameras on mobile phones to provide magnification. Using phones with portable microscopes adds the ability to capture magnified images and send them to databases for analysis or store them in the cloud or locally on the phone for future examination.

Hundhausen put the customized Hyster big trucks to work optimizing productivity in the “Gates of Hell.” The steel roof and heat resistant front screen of the cab on the big trucks help protect operators and equipment from sparks and hot, flying debris.

With this knowledge, the customer was able to assess their rental fleet, contract terms and usage to identify surplus rental units that were not needed. By doing so, they were able to reduce their rental fleet costs by 89% within one year.

Another cost savings opportunity discovered was avoidable damage. Multiple facilities were revealed to have frequent and high lift truck repair costs. Hyster Fleet Optics was able to identify the factors causing the damage and high repair costs within each facility. And as a result, the company took action to reduce these avoidable expenses, resulting in 90% lower repair costs at these locations.

When a child uses a microscope for the first time, they may ask lots of questions, which is a great quality in a scientist! One of the inevitable questions is, “How does it do that?” Here are ways to explain the functions of microscope objective lenses.

To gain the insight needed, the customer decided to utilize Hyster® Fleet Optics™. This consultative service gave them a dedicated industry-specific fleet expert who would continually evaluate their lift truck data, providing details and recommendations to increase uptime and lower total cost of ownership. Detailed data analysis and services included:

Now the customer can focus on what’s most important to them, running their business, while leaving fleet management to the experts – Hyster Fleet Optics.
