Simple MicroscopeSimple Microscope – one convex
lens:Ex. Human Eye
Simple Microscopeconvex lens refracts (bends)
light to a focal point.
Ex. drop of water
Simple MicroscopeFocal length determines
magnification power
Ex. Lenses with more curvature, magnify more
Compound Microscope- uses two lenses called eyepiece
and objective lenses-multiplies magnification- requires light source

Compound Microscope
Compound MicroscopeKey Points:
A –ArmB – BaseC – Carry
* use dominant eyeS – Store * open both eyesL – LowO – ObjectiveP – Power
Compound MicroscopeFocusing images:- Raise body tube- Place specimen on stage- Lower body tube- Focus UP (Coarse, then Fine)
Stereo MicroscopeCompound microscope with two
eyepiece lenses
