The document discusses the parts and functions of the compound microscope. It has three major parts: magnifying, illuminating, and mechanical. The magnifying parts, like the eyepiece and objectives, are used to enlarge the specimen's image. The illuminating parts, such as the diaphragm and mirror, supply and regulate light. The mechanical parts support and protect the microscope, allowing it to be adjusted and moved.

Editor's Notes
Magandang Buhay students! Welcome to our Science Unit II Module 1 on Microscopy
Today, I am going to discuss the first lesson for this module which is all about “Parts and Functions of the Compound Microscope”.
I have to objects that I am going to present to you, first is this. What do you call to this object? Very good, this a MAGNIFYING GLASS. What is the use of this object? Very Good! To see and make small object bigger. How about this object, what is this? Very good, this is a microscope. What is the use of this instrument? Very good, to see small objects that cannot be seen by our naked eye! Today, we will be focusing on the Microscope itself. For you to know more about this instrument, just listen carefully!
Both of these objects are laboratory instruments. Both of these can make small things bigger. But, magnifying glass can make small things that can be see by our eyes to make bigger while the microscope, all small objects that cannot be seen by our eyes can be observed and make it bigger.
MAGNIFYING PARTS are used to enlarge the view of the specimen or object to be observed
MAGNIFYING PARTS are used to enlarge the view of the specimen or object to be observed
MAGNIFYING PARTS are used to enlarge the view of the specimen or object to be observed
Why? Because it has a LENS!
MAGNIGFYING PARTS are composed of two parts – the eyepiece and objectives
Eyepiece is a part where you thorugh to view the object. It is place on the upper parts of the microscope.
This is an example of an eyepiece!
Next is the objectives!
Objectives are attached to the revolving nosepiece and the most important of the magnifying parts.
Objectives have 4 types. They differ in size, color and magnification
This objective has the lowest magnification which is 4, has a short size among other objectives and contain a red color. This is what we called “SCANNER”
This objective has a short size, with 10 magnification and yellow color. This is what we called, low power objective or LPO.
This objective IS bigger than scanner and low power objective, with 40 magnification and blue color. This is what we called the high power objective or HPO.
This last type of objective has a same size with high power objective with 100 magnification and white color. This is the Oil immersion objective or OIO.
Lenses of objectives have the ability to enlarge the image of the object to be observed. This is what we called MAGNIFICATION. It has a symbol of capital “X” which means how many times the object is enlarged.
We have now the illuminating parts. Illuminating parts are used to supply and regulate light to the object to be observed.
ILLUMINATING PARTS are composed of 2 parts – the diaphragm and mirror
Mirror - Collects and reflects light from an external light source up into the object to be observed.
This is an example of mirror
DIAPHRAGM - It regulates the amount of light passing through the specimen.
This is an example of diaphragm
We are in the last major part, the mechanical part. Mechanical parts are used to support, protect and move parts of the microscope
It includes the 9 specific parts – body tube, dust shield, revolving nosepiece, stage, stage clips, base, inclination joint, arm, fine adjustment knob and coarse adjustment knob. Let us know the function of each part.
1. BODY TUBE – It connects the eyepiece to the objectives.
2. DUST SHIELD - Protects the objectives from dust
3. Revolving Nosepiece- it holds the objectives and can be rotated to allow the shifting of objective lenses.
4. Stage - a platform with a central hole to the slide being studied.
5. Stage clips - It holds the slide in place
6. Base – It is a Heavy-Y shaped foot which provides support and steadiness to the microscope.
7. Inclination joint – it connects the arm to the base which allows tilting or inclining for easy observation.
8. Arm – it Supports the body tube and it is where the microscope is held and also used to support the microscope when carried
9. Fine Adjustment knob – it Sharpens the image of the specimen under high power objective lens.
10. Coarse adjustment knob – it Focuses or brings out the object to be observed and moves up the body tube up and down.
Do you understand our lesson for today? To measure your understanding about this lesson, let’s have a short seatwork!
Let us now summarize your understanding about this lesson.
