 Parfocal this means the image in clear focus under the low power objective, remains focused after shifting to HPO.

A. Identify the parts of the microscope.


1. ____________________ - the lens the viewer looks through to see the specimen
2. ____________________ - connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses
3. ____________________ - a rotating turret that houses the objective lenses; the viewer spins this to select different
