Spare light bulb –
This spare bulb will replace the one in the illuminator lamp when it eventually
wears out.
r)
Camera adapter
– This adapter lets you attach a single use camera or a digital camera to the
microscope so you can make photographs or digital images of the exciting subjects you will see.
s)
Projection device
– With the projection device you can study the microscope image on a small
screen; or you can project an image onto a white wall or other white surface. You can even project
the image down onto a piece of white paper. This way you can trace the outline of the sample you are
studying and make your own drawing. You can save these drawings in an album, or you can use
them in school projects.
Parts of Your Microscope:
A. Eyepiece –
The eyepiece is where you look into the microscope. It is a small magnifying lens that
collects the image projected by the objective lens.
B. Body tube –
This is the main tube of the microscope. The image from the sample travels up this
tube to the eyepiece.
C.
Focusing knobs
–
Turn these knobs very slowly to bring the image of your sample into focus so
you can see it sharply.
D.
Revolving lens turret
–
The turret holds the three objective lenses. To change the lenses, rotate
the turret slowly until each lens clicks into position.
E.
Objective lenses
–
These lenses give three different magnifying powers when working with the
eyepiece lens. They make samples look 300 times (300X), 600 times (600X) or 1,200 times (1,200X)
bigger than you can see them with your eyes alone.
