Microscope Presentation

The document outlines the key parts of a microscope and their functions, including the eyepiece, body tube, nosepiece, objectives, arm, stage, stage clips, diaphragm, coarse and fine adjustment knobs, light source, and base. It also provides instructions for using a microscope, such as carrying it with two hands, using lens paper for cleaning, and adjusting the nosepiece to the lowest setting before looking through the eyepiece and using the coarse focus knob. Magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective magnification.
