Parts of the microscope and its Functions :
Eyepiece Lens: the lens at the top that you look through, usually 10x or 15x power.
Tube: Connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses.
Arm: Supports the tube and connects it to the base.
Base: The bottom of the microscope, used for support.
Stage with Stage Clips: The flat platform where you place your slides
Revolving Nosepiece: This is the part that holds two or more objective lenses and can be rotated to easily change power.
Illuminator: A steady light source (110 volts) used in place of a mirror.
Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope.
Diaphragm or Iris: Many microscopes have a rotating disk under the stage.
