A dissection microscope is light illuminated. The image that appears is three dimensional. It is used for dissectionto get a better look at the larger specimen. You cannot see individual cells because it has a low magnification.(also called stereo microscope)

SEM use electron illumination. The image is seen in 3-D. It has high magnification and high resolution. Thespecimen is coated in gold and the electrons bounce off to give you and exterior view of the specimen. The pictures are in black and white.

TEM is electron illuminated. This gives a 2-D view. Thin slices of specimen are obtained. The electron beams passthrough this. It has high magnification and high resolution.

Compound microscopes are light illuminated. The image seen with this type of microscope is two dimensional. This microscope is the most commonly used. You can view individual cells, even living ones. It has high magnification. However, it has a low resolution.

Compound Light Microscope
Light Microscope - the models found in most schools, use compound lenses to magnify objects. The lenses bend or refract light to make the object beneath them appear closer.
Common magnifications: 40x, 100x, 400x
![Page 12: Introduction to the Microscope Types Parts & functions Focusing Care](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649e5c5503460f94b53dec/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How a Microscope Works
Convex Lenses arecurved glass used to make microscopes(and glasses etc.)
Convex Lenses bendlight and focus it inone spot.
![Page 13: Introduction to the Microscope Types Parts & functions Focusing Care](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649e5c5503460f94b53dec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How a Microscope Works
Ocular Lens(Magnifies Image)
Objective Lens(Gathers Light, Magnifies And Focuses Image Inside Body Tube)Body Tube
(Image Focuses)
•Bending Light: The objective (bottom) convex lens magnifies and focuses (bends) the image inside the body tube and the ocular convex (top) lens of a microscope magnifies it (again).

• Always carry with 2 hands• Only use lens paper for cleaning• Do not force knobs• Always store covered• Always go from small to large
magnification • Course adjustment first
• Except on 100x mag.

Guidelines for Use
![Page 29: Introduction to the Microscope Types Parts & functions Focusing Care](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649e5c5503460f94b53dec/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Focusing Specimens
1. Always start with the scanning objective.
Odds are, you will be able to see something on this setting. Use the Coarse Knob to focus and then the fine adjustment knob until clear, image may be small at this magnification, but you won't be able to find it on the higher powers without this first step.
Do not use stage clips, try moving the slide around until you find something.
![Page 30: Introduction to the Microscope Types Parts & functions Focusing Care](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649e5c5503460f94b53dec/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
2. Once you've focused on Scanning, switch to Low Power. Use the Coarse Adjustment Knob to refocus. Then use the Fine Adjustment Knob to make the image crystal clear. Again, if you haven't focused on this level, you will not be able to move to the next level.
3. Now switch to High Power. (If you have a thick slide, or a slide without a cover, do NOT use the high power objective). At this point, ONLY use the Fine Adjustment Knob to focus specimens.
Recap1. Scanning --> use coarse and fine knob 2. Low power --> use coarse and fine knob3. High power --> use fine knob only
DO NOT SKIP STEPS!!!!

• Your slide MUST be focused on low power before attempting this step
• Click the nosepiece to the longest objective• Do NOT use the Coarse Focusing Knob,
this could crack the slide or the lens• Use the Fine Focus Knob to bring the slide
![Page 32: Introduction to the Microscope Types Parts & functions Focusing Care](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061603/56649e5c5503460f94b53dec/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Drawing Specimens
1. Use pencil - you can erase and shade areas
2. All drawings should include clear and proper labels (and be large enough to view details). Drawings should be labeled with the specimen name and magnification.
3. Labels should be written on the outside of the circle. The circle indicates the viewing field as seen through the eyepiece, specimens should be drawn to scale - ie..if your specimen takes up the whole viewing field, make sure your drawing reflects that.

MagnificationMost microscopes have 3 magnifications: Scanning, Low and High. Each objective will have written the magnification. In addition to this, the ocular lens (eyepiece) has a magnification. The total magnification is the ocular x objective

Storing your Microscope
• Stage all the way down
• Light turned off
• Cord wrapped correctly
• Covered
• The smallest objective lens should be in place
• Carry it by the neck and the base
