Extracted text: As ENRICHMENT CARD THINGS TO REMEMBER: A compound microscope like me, is an instrument used to see organisms or objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Plant and animal cells, different kinds of microorganisms and even mineral samples are microscopic specimens since they are invisible to the eye. A microscope is needed to see them. The microscope magnifies these specimens several hundred times or more. The science of investigating very tiny organisms and small objects using microscope is called microscopy. A compound microscope has magnifying parts that make the specimen look bigger. Lenses, such as the eyepiece or ocular and the objective lenses are the magnifying parts. There are different objective lenses; Low Power Objective (LPO) covers a wide field of view, it usually has a 10X magnification; High Power Objective (HPO) has a magnification of 40X or 43X is ideal for observing very fine detail and it is usually longer than the LPO and oil immersion objective has a magnification range between 60x and 100x. The illuminating parts that regulate the amount from the source are the mirror and diaphragm. The others are mechanical parts that function as support and for adjusting the different parts of the microscope. Kindly answer the questions below; write them on your Activity Notebook 1. What are the functions of the base and the arm of the microscope? 2. Give and differentiate the types of objectives 3. What are the two functions of the eyepiece? 4. Which part is use to regulate the amount of light passing through the specimen? 5. What holds the slide in place so that it will not move when observing the specimen? SHARE IT!
