• Microscope = mickros “ small” + scope “too see”
Definition
Is an optical instrument used to see objects that are too small for the
naked eye
History of the Microscope
•1590 –first compound
microscope
History of the Microscope
•1655 – Robert Hooke used a
compound microscope to observe
pores in cork
•He called them “cells”
History of the Microscope
•Antoine van Leeuwenhoek
•1st to see single-celled
organisms in pond water
Microscope Vocabulary
•Magnification: increase of an
object’s apparent size
•Resolution: power to show details
clearly
•Both are needed to see a clear
image
Types of Microscopes
• Light Microscopy
• Use of any kind of microscope that uses visible light to observe specimens
• Types of light microscopy
• Compound light microscopy
• Darkfield microscopy
• Phase-contrast microscopy
• Fluorescence microscopy
• Confocal microscopy
• Electronic Microscopes
The Compound Light Microscope
• In a compound microscope, the image from the objective lens is magnified again
by the ocular lens
• Total magnification is product of the magnification of its ocular and its objective
lenses
• Total magnification = objective lens  ocular lens
• Resolution is the ability of the lenses to distinguish two points
• Ocular lens ( eye piece):
The lens at the top that you look through .
They are usually 10x or 15x power
• Arm :
Supports the tube and connect it to the base
• Revolving nosepiece :
It holds two or more objectives lenses and can be rotated .
• Objective lenses :
Usually you find 3 or 4 objectives lenses on a microscope .They almost
always consist of 4x, 10x, 40, 100x powers .
When coupled with 10x ( most common ) eye lens , we get total
magnifications of 40 x, 100x, 400x and 1000x .
• The shortest objective lens is lowest power , the longest one is the lens with
greatest power .
• Lenses are color coded :
Red : 4x
Yellow : 10x ( low power objective)
Blue : 40x ( high power objective)
White : 100x
• Stage :
The platform where you place your slides
• Stage clips :
Hold the slide in place on the stage
• Diaphragm:
Control the amount of light going through the specimen
• Light source :
Makes the specimen easier to see.
• Base :
The bottom of the microscope ,used for support
Steps to Use:
1. Rotate the low power objective into place and make sure the
stage is all the way down.
2. Place slide on stage making sure object to be viewed is
centered over the hole in the stage. Use the stage clips to
hold the slide in place.
3. Turn light on.
4. Focus first with the coarse adjustment knob. Once in focus on
low power, turn the nosepiece until the next higher lens is in
place.
5. Use FINE adjustment knob ONLY and focus the object.
• Always carry with 2 hands
• Never touch the lenses with your fingers.
• Only use lens paper for cleaning
• Keep objects clear of desk and cords
• When you are finished with your "scope", rotate
the nosepiece so that it's on the low power
objective, roll the stage down to lowest level,
rubber band the cord, then replace the dust
cover.
