| used to clean microscope lenses | lens paper |
| lens used when beginning to focus | scanning or lowest |
| lowest powered objective that magnifies four times | scanning |
| objective that magnifies 10 times | low power |
| objective that magnifies 40 times | high power |
| objective that magnifies 100 times | oil immersion |
| part used to adjust the amount of light enetering the stage | diaphragm |
| direction the coarse adjustment is turned once the stage is close to the objective | away |
| direction of image seen through the ocular | inverted |
| distance between the stage and objective | working distance |
| objective that allows the largest working distance | scanning |
| objective that allows the smallest working distance | oil immersion or high power |
| the actual area of the slide as seen through the microscope | field of view |
| objective that allows for the largest field of view | scanning |
| objective that allows for the smallest field of view | oil immersion |
| objective that requires the diaphragm to be opened more | high power or oil immersion |
| the objective that requires the diaphram be more closed | scanning or low power |
| total magnification | power of objective x power of the ocular |
| eyepiece | ocular |
| raises/lowers the stage large distances | coarse adjustment |
| raises/lowers the stage small distances | fine adjustment |
| This part is also called the ocular lens and allows you to view the image on the stage. | eyepiece |
| This part holds the objective lens and is able to rotate to change magnification. | nosepiece |
| These are found on the nosepiece and range from low to high power. | objective lenses |
| These are used to hold a slide in place on the stage. | stage clips |
| Projects light upwards through the diaphragm to allow you to see the specimen. | light source |
| This part on the side of the microscope is used to support it when it is carried. | arm |
| This part moves the stage slightly to help you sharpen your view. | coarse adjustment knob |
| This part of the microscope helps you adjust the amount of light that reaches the specimen. | diaphragm |
| The bottom part of the microscope. | base |
| Part of the microscope that supports the slide that is being viewed. | stage |
| Name for the small plastic or glass piece that is used to cover a water drop on a slide. | cover slip |
| Small glass plate on awhich specimen are placed for viewing. | slide |
| Refers to the degree of magnification for a lens. | power |
