To better understand the structure and function of a microscope we need to take a look at the labeled microscope diagrams of the compound and electron microscope.
Typical compound light microscope labeled.
Microscope parts here we see are of a compound microscope.
Simple microscopes have just a lens stage and a light source.
The optical parts of the microscope are used to view magnify and produce an image from a specimen placed on a slide.
A compound light microscope mostly uses a low voltage bulb as an illuminator.
Nosepiece is a rotating turret that holds the objective lenses.
Eyepiece also known as the ocular.
Eyepiece lenses and objective lenses.
It is also used to carry the microscope.
Parts of a compound microscope with labeled diagram and functions how does a compound microscope work.
Switch condensor and diphragm.
The viewer spins the nosepiece to select different objective lenses.
It does this by creating a magnified image through the use of a series of glass lenses which first focus a beam of light onto or through an object and convex objective lenses to enlarge the image formed.
