Title: Microscopy
Aim:
To study different types of Microscopes.
Introduction: A Microscope is an instrument used to see objects that are too stroll to
be seen by naked eye. It is derived from the Greek word "micro"
meaning small and "scope" meaning to look/see/aim.
Types of Microscopy
2. Compound Microscope
Optical components
c) Objective Lens
It houses the objective lens. The objectives are exposed and are
mounted on a rotating turret so that different objectives can be
conveniently selected. Standard objectives include 4X, 10X, 45X
and 100X, although different power objectives are available.
They are used to focus the microscope. They are co-axial knobs
i.e. to say they are built on the same axis with the fine focus knob
on the outside. Coaxial focus knobs are more convenient since the
viewers does not have to grab a different knob.
f) Stage
g) Stage Clip
h) Aperture
It is the hole in the stage through which light reaches the stage.
i) Illuminator
j) Condenser
It is used to collect and focus the light from the illuminator onto
the specimen.
k) Iris Diaphragm
3. Fluorescence microscope
