The document summarizes the main parts of a microscope. The key components are the eyepiece lens, tube, revolving nosepiece, objective lenses, diaphragm, coarse and fine adjustment knobs, arm, stage, stage clips, condenser, base, and power switch. The eyepiece lens provides magnification and the objective lenses provide different levels of magnification. The tube connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses. The revolving nosepiece allows rotation of objective lenses. The stage holds slides and stage clips secure slides. The condenser focuses light on samples.

Eyepiece or ocular lens: Eyepiece is the lens, present at the top and is used to see

the objects under study. Eyepiece lens contains a magnification of 10X or 15X.
Tube: Tube or the body tube, connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses.
Revolving nosepiece: It is also known as the Turret. Resolving nosepiece has
holders for the different objective lenses. It allows the rotation of the lenses while
viewing.
Objective lenses: Generally, three or four objective lenses are found on a
microscope, with ranges of 10X, 40X, 100X powers. Lenses are colour coded, the
shortest lens is of the lowest power, and the longest lens is high power lenses.
Diaphragm: Diaphragm helps in controlling the amount of light that is passing
through the opening of the stage. It is helpful in the adjustment of the control of light
that enters.
Coarse adjustment knob: Used for focus on scanning. Usually the low power lens
is used enabling the movement of the tube.
Fine adjustment knob: Used for focus on oil. Moves the body tube for focussing the
high power lens.
Arm: It supports the tube of the microscope and connects to the base of the
microscope.
Stage: The platform that is flat used for placing the slides under observation.
Stage clip: Stage clips hold the slides in proper place.
Condensor: The main function of condenser lens is focussing the light on the
specimen under observation. When very high powers of 400X are used, condenser
lenses are very important. Presence of condenser lens gives a sharper image as
compared to the microscope with no condenser lens.
Base: Provides basal support for the microscope.
Power switch: The main power switch that turns the illumination on or off.
1.Film, sensor or other light sensitive material capable of recording an image

2.A means of focusing an image from a scene onto the film, etc. This could be
as simple as a pinhole or as complex as a zoom lens.
3.A light proof box to exclude stray light, so only light from the scene makes it
onto the film or sensor.
4.A shutter to control the duration of time the light from the scene is projected
onto the film or sensor.
1. The Lens: As the basis for the telescope main view, the lens is among the most
important parts of the telescope. The lens constitutes of convex lens, concave lens,
concave mirror, focusing distance, field of view, magnification, and resolution. It
collects and controls the movement of light and the view in which the sky is viewed.

2. Telescope Tube:The telescope tube has the main mirror. Normally, the telescope
tube has 8 inches diameter and it has a tube cover. The telescope tube enhances
the setting of the focal length through controlling the knob which is usually below the
visual back. Therefore, the telescope tube makes an important part of the telescope
functionality.

3. Finderscope This is a minor telescope which is mounted on the main tube. The
finderscope is used to locate the main object which is to be viewed. It locates and
directs the telescope to the main object for clear view .

4. Eyepiece :The eyepiece is a part of the ocular lens. It provides the lock for security
of the telescope. The eyepiece prevents the ocular lens from falling down and
eventually breaking down or disappearing. It also enhances clear view from the lens
to the object.

5. Mounting: The mounting is also referred to as the cradle telescope. It allows for
the movement of the telescope towards different sides and directions. The mounting
has the regulating knob latitude. This knob indicates the position of the observer
latitude.

6. Tripod: The tripod is made of at least three stands. It holds and retains the
telescope on its surface. The tripod is made in a way that it can support the
telescope in slanted, straight, or inverted positions. At the same time, an observer
can easily move the telescope to different directions with ease.

7. Half Pillar:Half pillar is used to raise or lower the mounting position. This sets the
telescope in position on the tripod to work as required.
