Concept Notes:
How does a light microscope work?
The light microscope uses diffused light from the sun or artificial light to illuminate the object
to be observed. From its source, visible light passes through the small or thin specimen to be
observed through the glass lenses. As light passes through the lenses, it is bent so specimen
appears bigger when it is projected to the eye. The form and structure of the specimen can then
be seen because some of their parts reflect light.

What do parts of the microscope do? Study the Parts of the Compound light Microscope.

EXERCISE: Study the Microscope Part Function and identify its corresponding parts of the microscope.

Microscope Part Microscope Part Function

Ex. base Supports the microscope and houses the illuminator
Controls the amount of light reaching the specimen
Where you look through to see the specimen and magnifies by x10
Rotated to change the objective lens being used
Where the specimen to be viewed is placed
Allows the specimen to be seen
Magnifies the specimen by x4, x10, x40
Tunes the focus and increases the detail of the specimen.
Moves the body up and down and brings the specimen into general focus.
Supports the tube and connects it to the base
Connects the eyepiece tube to the objective lenses
Allows a microscope to tilt
