Answer:
Adjustment knob (coarse) ---> Causes stage (or objective lens) to move upward or downward
Arm ---> Serves as a handle for carrying the microscope
Condenser ---> Concentrates light onto the specimen
Eyepiece (ocular) ---> Contains a lens at the top of the body tube
Field of view ---> Circular area seen through the eyepiece
Iris diaphragm ---> Increases or decreases the light intensity
Nosepiece ---> Part to which the objective lenses are attached
Objective lens system ---> After light passes through the specimen, it next enters this lens system
Explanation:
The microscope is an essential equipment used in science laboratories to view objects which are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Also certain processes which occur at the microscopic level can only be observed using a microscope.
There are many different types of microscopes. The compound light microscope is the one most commonly used in biological laboratories to view tissues and cells of organisms. It uses visible light which passes through two separate lens to magnify the image produced of a specimen.
The various parts of compound light microscope and their respective functions are given below:
Adjustment knob (coarse) ---> Causes stage (or objective lens) to move upward or downward
Arm ---> Serves as a handle for carrying the microscope
Condenser ---> Concentrates light onto the specimen
Eyepiece (ocular) ---> Contains a lens at the top of the body tube
Field of view ---> Circular area seen through the eyepiece
Iris diaphragm ---> Increases or decreases the light intensity
Nosepiece ---> Part to which the objective lenses are attached
Objective lens system ---> After light passes through the specimen, it next enters this lens system
Stage ---> Platform that supports a microscope slide
Stage (slide) clip ---> Holds a microscope slide in position
