Before exploring microscope parts and functions, you should probably understand that the compound light microscope is more complicated than just a microscope with more than one lens.First, the purpose of a microscope is to magnify a small object or to magnify the fine details of a larger object in order to examine minute specimens that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Here are the important compound microscope parts...Eyepiece: The lens the viewer looks through to see the specimen. The eyepiece usually contains a 10X or 15X power lens.Diopter Adjustment: Useful as a means to change focus on one eyepiece so as to correct for any difference in vision between your two eyes.Body tube (Head): The body tube connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses.Arm: The arm connects the body tube to the base of the microscope.Coarse adjustment: Brings the specimen into general focus.Fine adjustment: Fine tunes the focus and increases the detail of the specimen.Nosepiece: A rotating turret that houses the objective lenses. The viewer spins the nosepiece to select different objective lenses.Objective lenses: One of the most important parts of a compound microscope, as they are the lenses closest to the specimen. A standard microscope has three, four, or five objective lenses that range in power from 4X to 100X. When focusing the microscope, be careful that the objective lens doesn’t touch the slide, as it could break the slide and destroy the specimen.Specimen or slide: The specimen is the object being examined. Most specimens are mounted on slides, flat rectangles of thin glass.The specimen is placed on the glass and a cover slip is placed over the specimen. This allows the slide to be easily inserted or removed from the microscope. It also allows the specimen to be labeled, transported, and stored without damage.Stage: The flat platform where the slide is placed.Stage clips: Metal clips that hold the slide in place.Stage height adjustment (Stage Control): These knobs move the stage left and right or up and down.Aperture: The hole in the middle of the stage that allows light from the illuminator to reach the specimen.On/off switch: This switch on the base of the microscope turns the illuminator off and on.Illumination: The light source for a microscope. Older microscopes used mirrors to reflect light from an external source up through the bottom of the stage; however, most microscopes now use a low-voltage bulb.Iris diaphragm: Adjusts the amount of light that reaches the specimen.Condenser: Gathers and focuses light from the illuminator onto the specimen being viewed.Base: The base supports the microscope and it’s where illuminator is located.How Does a Compound Microscope Work?All of the parts of a microscope work together - The light from the illuminator passes through the aperture, through the slide, and through the objective lens, where the image of the specimen is magnified.The then magnified image continues up through the body tube of the microscope to the eyepiece, which further magnifies the image the viewer then sees.Learning to use and adjust your compound microscope is the next important step.It's also imperative to know and understand the best practices of cleaning your microscope.The microscope parts work together in hospitals and in forensic labs, for scientists and students, bacteriologists and biologists so that they may view bacteria, plant and animal cells and tissues, and various microorganisms the world over.Compound microscopes have furthered medical research, helped to solve crimes, and they have repeatedly proven invaluable in unlocking the secrets of the microscopic world.Check out MicroscopeMaster’s online help:Basics of a Compound MicroscopeDiagram/Parts/Functions of a Compound MicroscopeBeginner Microscope ExperimentsMicroscope Slides Preparations-Styles and TechniquesPrepared Microscope Slides - Benefits and RecommendationsSee also: Dissecting Stereo Microscope Parts and Functions Stereo Microscope Vs Compound MicroscopeCheck out this Microscope Quiz to test your knowledgeInteresting info here on Basic Microscope Ergonomics Return from Parts of a Compound Microscope to Compound Light Microscope Return from Parts of a Compound Microscope to Best Microscope HomeFind out how to advertise on MicroscopeMaster!FacebookTwitter

Changing the focal length or FOV is only one way to control the size of an object in the frame ("zooming in" or "zooming out"). The other way is to actually move the camera closer or farther away from the subject. Note that these are not equivalent and will result in very different looks. While the focal length/FOV changes the size of a single object in the frame, the relative sizes of 2 objects in the scene depends ONLY on the location of the camera relative to these objects. Thus framing a scene with multiple subjects involves positioning the camera to achieve the desired blocking and relative sizes of the subjects, THEN adjusting the Focal Length to achieve the desired overall framing. In the following example, the two cylinders in the scene are the same height (10). We position the camera such that the red cylinder is approximately ½ the size of the green/yellow cylinder. We then show the effect of first making the focal length wider and of moving the camera

In most consumer cameras, the lens is centered on the imaging plane (film back or sensor). However some professional cameras include the ability to adjust the offset of the lens with respect to the sensor. This lens offset is usually referred to a shift. Shift can be used to maintain a certain perspective while changing the composition of the image, or more commonly, to correct for the natural perspective distortion that occurs when photographing a building or other large structure from the ground.

The relationship between Focal Length and FOV depends on the physical size of the film or sensor onto which the image is projected (Sensor Size (Film Gate)). For 35mm film cameras or so-called "full frame" digital cameras, this size is 36mm x 24mm. For such cameras, commonly used Focal Lengths are:

Objective lenses: One of the most important parts of a compound microscope, as they are the lenses closest to the specimen. A standard microscope has three, four, or five objective lenses that range in power from 4X to 100X. When focusing the microscope, be careful that the objective lens doesn’t touch the slide, as it could break the slide and destroy the specimen.Specimen or slide: The specimen is the object being examined.

The Focal Length of a camera, usually measured in millimeters, is the distance from the film or sensor back to the optical center of the lens. There is a direct (non-linear) relationship between Focal Length and FOV. Longer Focal Lengths result in narrower FOVs, while shorter Focal Lengths result in wider FOVs. There is a direct linear relationship between Focal Length and the apparent size of the subject in the frame. For example, doubling the Focal Length will make the subject twice as large in the frame.

Microscopeparts and functions

Body tube (Head): The body tube connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses.Arm: The arm connects the body tube to the base of the microscope.Coarse adjustment: Brings the specimen into general focus.Fine adjustment: Fine tunes the focus and increases the detail of the specimen.Nosepiece: A rotating turret that houses the objective lenses. The viewer spins the nosepiece to select different objective lenses.Objective lenses: One of the most important parts of a compound microscope, as they are the lenses closest to the specimen. A standard microscope has three, four, or five objective lenses that range in power from 4X to 100X. When focusing the microscope, be careful that the objective lens doesn’t touch the slide, as it could break the slide and destroy the specimen.Specimen or slide: The specimen is the object being examined. Most specimens are mounted on slides, flat rectangles of thin glass.The specimen is placed on the glass and a cover slip is placed over the specimen. This allows the slide to be easily inserted or removed from the microscope. It also allows the specimen to be labeled, transported, and stored without damage.Stage: The flat platform where the slide is placed.Stage clips: Metal clips that hold the slide in place.Stage height adjustment (Stage Control): These knobs move the stage left and right or up and down.Aperture: The hole in the middle of the stage that allows light from the illuminator to reach the specimen.On/off switch: This switch on the base of the microscope turns the illuminator off and on.Illumination: The light source for a microscope.

Objective lensmicroscope function

The Field of View (FOV), or Angle of View of a camera describes how much of the scene is visible from the camera, or how "wide" or "zoomed-in" the view appears, and as a consequence, how large or small objects appear in the frame. FOV is measured in degrees, horizontally and vertically. Larger FOV values indicate that more of the scene is visible and therefore objects will appear smaller, whereas smaller values mean less of the scene is visible and objects will appear larger.
