What holds the slide in place on a microscope?
Use the stage clips to hold the slide in place.
What metal clips that hold the slide in place?
Stage clips
Stage clips: Metal clips that hold the slide in place.
What holds the slide firmly in place?
Stage and Stage Clips
The stage typically has a stage clip on either side to hold the slide firmly in place.
What do you use to secure the slide?
Your microscope slide should be prepared with a coverslip over the sample to protect the objective lenses if they touch the slide. Do not touch the glass part of the lenses with your fingers. Use only special lens paper to clean the lenses. Always keep your microscope covered when not in use.
What holds the slide and moves up and down?
Stage clips hold the slides in place. If your microscope has a mechanical stage, you will be able to move the slide around by turning two knobs. One moves it left and right, the other moves it up and down. Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope.
Which part of the microscope holds and supports the specimen?
Stage – This is the section on which the specimen is placed for viewing. They have stage clips that hold the specimen slides in place. The most common stage is a mechanical stage, which allows the control of the slides by moving the slides using the mechanical knobs on the stage instead of moving it manually.
What contains the ocular lens?
Eyepiece: contains the ocular lens, which provides a magnification power of 10x to 15x, usually.This is the part that holds two or more objective lenses and can be rotated to easily change power.
What is used to hold the glass slide in place and prevent it from moving?
Spring loaded metal clips on the microscope stage are used to hold the slide in place.
Is the ocular lens the eyepiece?
The eyepiece, or ocular lens, is the part of the microscope that magnifies the image produced by the microscope’s objective so that it can be seen by the human eye.
What are the components of microscope?
The three basic, structural components of a compound microscope are the head, base and arm.
- Head/Body houses the optical parts in the upper part of the microscope.
- Base of the microscope supports the microscope and houses the illuminator.
- Arm connects to the base and supports the microscope head.
Where is the safest place to hold or carry a microscope?
Hold the microscope with one hand around the arm of the device, and the other hand under the base. This is the most secure way to hold and walk with the microscope. Avoid touching the lenses of the microscope. The oil and dirt on your fingers can scratch the glass.
What does the eyepiece do on a microscope?
The eyepiece, or ocular, magnifies the primary image produced by the objective; the eye can then use the full resolution capability of the objective. The microscope produces a virtual image of the specimen at the point of most distinct vision, generally 250 mm (10 in.)
What holds the slide to the stage?
Stage clips hold the slides in place.
How do you prevent the slide from falling off the stage?
How can you prevent your slide from slipping on the stage? Use the stage clips. Is the image seen through the microscope oriented the same way as the object on the stage of the microscope? Explain.
Do you place the slide under the clips in the mechanical stage?
If your microscope has stage clips, secure the slide under the stage clips. If your microscope has a mechanical stage, turn the control knobs (below one side of the stage) to position the specimen directly over the opening in the stage.
Which part is used to hold the microscope in transferring from one place to another?
The microscope arm connects the eyepiece tube to the base.
This is the part you should hold when transporting a microscope.
What part of the microscope holds the objectives?
revolving nosepiece
Nosepiece: The upper part of a compound microscope that holds the objective lens. Also called a revolving nosepiece or turret.
What part of the microscope holds the ocular lens?
PARTS OF THE MICROSCOPE
| A | B |
|---|---|
| EYEPIECE | This part allows you to view the image on the stage and contains the ocular lens. |
| NOSEPIECE | This part holds the objective lenses and is able to rotate to change magnification. |
| OBJECTIVE LENSES | These are found on the nosepiece and range from low to high power. |
What connects the eyepiece to the objective lens?
Body tube (Head): The body tube connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses. Therefore, The part of the microscope which connects the mount of the eyepiece to revolving nosepiece alongwith the objective is called Body tube.
