• How is magnification useful?
– In what applications do we use it.
• The following slides will show some of the
various applications of magnification.
• Eyeglasses to help us see.
• To help us see smaller things in science
class. (Education)
• To see the very small (Scientific)
• Surgical and medical applications.
• Surgical and medical applications.
“Hoot” “Hoot” “Did
anybody see me
hiding.”
• Surgical and medical applications.
• Crime investigation
– Two different bullets shot from the same gun
shown below.
• Crime investigation
– Two different bullets shot from the same gun

• Which of the bills below is counterfeit?
• This is the counterfeit bill
• Military use.
• Space exploration (telescope)
• The Movies
• Cameras and recording devices.
• Magnification works because of light.
Without light, you would not be able to see
any image, magnified or not.
• Activity! Hand Lens
– Use a hand lens to practice focusing on a US
$1 dollar bill. Record two pictures of neat
things that you find.
– Try and find the hidden owl.
• Picture of microprint on 20$ Bill.
• Convex lens: A convex lens bends the
light that goes through it toward a focal
point. The light spreads out again past this
focal point. (Image reverses)

• Although magnification is possible with
only one lens, it also can be achieved by
using more than one.
• Magnifying lens uses a single lens to
magnify the specimen. Focusing can
occur by moving the object or your eye.
• Types of microscopes, Which microscope
should be used to view a bumble bee,
living cell, and deep into a dead cell?
• Which device should we use to look at the
specimen on the left?
• The device in the middle, called a
stereoscope is used for large objects?
• Which device should we use to look at the
specimen on the left?
• The microscope on the right is a
compound light microscope and is used
for very small specimens that light can
pass through.
• This is stereoscopic microscope.
• It looks at things in which light cannot pass
like a bumble bee.
– Lets you see the image in 3D.

microscope such a rock, pencil, finger, etc.
Specimens need to be incredibly thin and
light must pass through. Uses Slides!
• This is an electron microscope. It can
magnify specimens much smaller than a
light, or stereoscope, but doesn’t usually
view live cells or specimens.

Let’s Go
Back Over
the Parts of
the
Microscope
1) Eye Piece (ocular) –
the lens that you look through
2) Body Tube –
the tube that supports the eyepiece
110
Ocular Lens/Eyepiece
• Magnifies the specimen image
111
Body Tube
• The body tube holds the objective lenses
and the ocular lens at the proper distance
112
3) Revolving Nosepiecethe rotating device that holds and
changes the objectives (lenses).
Revolving
AperatureOpening in the
stabe to allow light
from mirror or
light to pass
113
Nose Piece
• The Nose Piece holds the objective lenses
and can be turned to increase the
magnification
114
Objective Lenses
• The Objective Lenses increase
magnification (usually from 10x to 40x)
115
4) Low Power
Objective –
Magnification lens
with the lowest power
5) High Power
Objective –
Magnification lens
with the highest
power
6) Stage Clips –
clips that keep the slide or specimen from moving
116
on the stage
7) Stage –
holds the specimen
117
Stage
• Supports the slide/specimen
118
Stage Clips
• These 2 clips hold the slide/specimen in
place on the stage.
119
8) Diaphragmcontrols the amount of light entering through
the aperature to the objectivefrom the bottom
120
Diaphragm
• The Diaphragm controls the amount of
light on the slide/specimen
Turn to let more light in or
to make dimmer.
9) Pivot Pointpart that allows
you to tip the
ocular toward
you
Pivot Point
Base
Mirror
10) Basesupports the microscope
11) Mirror
reflects (bends) the light upward onto the slide
122
Base
• Supports the microscope
123
Light Source
• Projects light upwards through the
diaphragm, the specimen and the lenses
• Some have lights, others have mirrors
where you must move the mirror to reflect
light
124
12) Fine Focus Adjustment –
moves the body tube in small increments
13) Coarse Focus Adjustmentmoves the body
tube in large
increments
14) Arm –
attaches the
eyepiece and the
body tube to the
base
125
Arm
• Used to support the microscope when
carried. Holds the body tube, nose piece
and objective lenses
126
Coarse Adjustment Knob
• Moves the stage up and down (quickly) for
focusing your image
127
Fine Adjustment Knob
• This knob moves the stage SLIGHTLY to
sharpen the image
128
• Follow steps to focus using low power
• Click the nosepiece to the longest
objective
• Do NOT use the Coarse Focusing Knob
• Use the Fine Focus Knob to bring the slide
What can you find on your slide?
129
• When carrying a microscope, carry it by
the arm, and have one hand under the
base.
• Watch out for cords that hang off of the
table waiting to be stepped on and pulling
the microscope to the ground.
– Wrap the cord around arm for storage.
• Place the Slide on the
Microscope
• Use Stage Clips
• Click Nosepiece to the lowest
(shortest) setting
• Look into the Eyepiece
• Use the Coarse Focus
132
• Always lower the stage after use so the
gears are not strained.
– Remove any slide as well.
– The finely tuned gears are what make
microscopes expensive.
• Remember dust cover for proper storage.
135
Calculate Total Magnification
Total Magnification =
ocular power x objective lens power using
Ocular power is generally 10X, meaning
it has a magnification or power of 10X
136
137
Elodea
40 x
Elodea
100x
Elodea
400x
138
Magnification
• To determine your magnification…you just
multiply the ocular lens by the objective
lens
• Ocular 10x Objective 40x:10 x 40 = 400
So the object is 400 times “larger”
Objective Lens have
their magnification
written on them.
Ocular lenses usually magnifies by 10x
139
• The eyepiece lens is 10x –That means it
multiplies the object ten times.
– Low power is 4x
– Medium power is 10x
– High power is 40x
• The eyepiece lens is 10x –That means it
multiplies the object ten times.
– Low power is 4x
– Medium power is 10x
– High power is 40x
• The eyepiece lens is 10x –That means it
multiplies the object ten times.
– Low power is 4x
– Medium power is 10x
– High power is 40x
• The eyepiece lens is 10x –That means it
multiplies the object ten times.
– Low power is 4x
– Medium power is 10x
– High power is 40x
• How many times larger is an image
magnified under low power.
10x times 4x =__________
• 10x times 4x = 40x or forty times larger.
• How many times magnified is a specimen
when looking at under medium and high
power?=
– 10x times 10x = ______
– 10x times 40x = ______
• 10x times 4x = 40x or forty times larger.

comes into focus.
– Once in focus, you can now use the revolving
nosepiece to move the high power lens into
position.
• With the High power lens, gently turn the
fine adjustment until the image comes into
focus.
• Do not use the coarse adjustment when
the microscope is using the high power
lens.
– This can break the glass slide and damage
the microscope.
• Do not use the coarse adjustment when
the microscope is using the high power
lens.
– This can break the glass slide and damage
the microscope.
Using a Microscope
“It’s Worth Repeating”
• Start on the lowest magnification
• Don’t use the coarse adjustment
knob on high magnification…you’ll
break the slide!!!
• Place slide on stage and lock clips
• Adjust light source Use fine adjustment to
focus
158
• Activity! Using the microscope.
– Please place the letter e on a slide and put a
cover slip on.
– Sketch the letter e on low, medium, and high
power.
• Activity!
– Practice your skills with prepared slides.
• Raise your hand when you think you know
the picture beneath the boxes.
– You only get one guess.
