The image shows a compound light microscope with labeled parts indicated by arrows. Below is the identification of each part based on standard microscope anatomy:
1.
Eyepiece (Ocular Lens) – The lens at the top that you look through. It usually has a magnification of 10x.
2.
Head (or Body Tube) – The part that connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses and holds them in place.
3.
Arm – The curved part that supports the head and connects it to the base.
4.
Objective Lenses – The set of lenses located beneath the stage, typically with different magnifications (e.g., 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x).
5.
Stage – The flat platform where the slide is placed for viewing.
6.
Stage Clips – The small metal clips that hold the slide in place on the stage.
7.
Coarse Adjustment Knob – The larger knob used to move the stage up and down for initial focusing.
8.
Fine Adjustment Knob – The smaller knob used for precise focusing after coarse adjustment.
9.
Condenser – Located below the stage, it focuses light onto the specimen.
10.
Diaphragm (Iris Diaphragm) – A lever or wheel under the stage that controls the amount of light passing through the specimen.
11.
Base – The bottom part of the microscope that supports the entire structure and houses the light source.
12.
Light Source (Illuminator) – Found within the base, it provides illumination for the specimen.
