Parts of the Compound
Microscope
 01 • identify the three main parts of a
compound microscope;

02 • describe the functions of each part of

the microscope; and
OBJECTI
VES 03
• label the compound microscope.
• The microscope was first built in 1595 by Hans and

Zacharias Janssen (1588-1631) in Holland.

• Later, it was perfected in the 17th century in several

countries, including by Robert Hooke (1635- 1703),

in England but most notably by a Dutchman, Anton

van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723).

 A microscope is a tool which can help you see
tiny objects and living organisms. It comprises of
three major parts based on their functions:
magnifying, illuminating and mechanical parts.
 Microscopy Microscopic

- is the science of
- means invisible to the eye
investigating small objects
unless aided by a microscope.
using such an instrument.

 • diaphragm
ILLUMINATING PARTS
• stage condenser

– part of the microscope • mirror

which supplies light and

regulate light towards the

focus specimen.

MAGNIFYING PARTS microscope that the specimen
in focus appears larger.
• eyepiece

• objective lenses

 Scanner

 Low power objective

 High power objective

 Oil immersion
BODY TUBE / DRAW TUBE

- is a tube that separates the

objective and the eyepiece and
assumes continuous alignment STAGE CLIP
of the optics. - holds the glass slide
in place.

STAGE

- is a flat surface where the

mounted slide is placed.
 
 COARSE ADJUSTMENT KNOB
- allows the movement of the
tube upwards or
downwards.
FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB

- is used to bring the specimen into

sharp focus under low power and is
used for all focusing when using
high power lenses.

BASE
It provides support to the
microscope.
 REVOLVING NOSEPIECE
- is responsible in holding the
objective lenses (HPO,LPO,
scanner).
LIGTH SOURCE
- facilitates the changing of
- (lamp or mirror)
objectives.
provides light for viewing
OBJECTIVES: the slide.

HPO, LPO, OIL

- magnifies the
IMMERSION
image.
 OCULAR / EYEPIECE
- is a lens that is attached to a draw
tube.

ARM
is a curve shape that supports the
body tube, it is for grasping in
holding the microscope in
transporting.

DIAPHRAGM
- controls the amount of light passing
through the slide.
Caring for the Microscope
1. Do not let any liquids to come in contact with the

microscope.

2. Always store the microscope inside a box after use.

3. Return the objective lens onto low power after use.

4. Carry the microscope by the arm.

5. Use a soft clean tissue to wipe the lenses.
