Parts of the Brightfield Microscope and their Function
Part
Function
Ocular lens
Magnifies the image 10X.
Nosepiece
Contains the objective lenses.
Objective lenses
Magnifies the image 4, 10, 40 or 100X.
Stage
Holds the slide and usually has clips to hold slide stationary.
Diaphragm
Adjusts the amount of light to the lens.
Condenser
Focuses light into the specimen.
Light Source
Produces and adjusts the intensity of the light.
Rheostat
Adjusts the intensity of the light.
Course focus
Focuses image when using the 4 and 10X lenses.
Fine Focus
Focuses the image when using the 40 and 100X lenses
Mechanical Stage Adjuster
Moves the slide on the stage
Lab 2 Instructions
Observing specimens with brightfield microscope.
1. Use pages 75-83 to view the slides indicated by your instructor (shown below). Use your brightfield
scope to view these specimens.
Know the following slides at the indicated magnifications.
Remember: You must first focus each slide under 100X first before viewing under 400X and you must view
under 40X before viewing under 1000X.
