Microscope Study Guide

The document is a microscope study guide containing questions to test a student's knowledge of microscope parts and use. It asks the student to identify microscope components like the eyepiece magnification, objective lenses and their total magnifications, adjustment knobs for focus and image sharpening, the diaphragm function, how to change objectives and find the initial image, how to prepare a wet mount slide, and how specimen movement appears in the field of view. It also asks the student to draw patterns as they would appear under the microscope and identify several labeled microscope parts.
