Know Your Microscope
nYour microscope has :
na heavy base which also houses the lamp for illumination
nthe condenser which directs a controlled beam of light to the slide which is placed on the…
n‘stage’
nthe optical system.

The optical system includes a set of objective lenses and two eyepieces. (There is more to the optical system, but it is not seen and  you do not have anything to do with it!)

nBe careful! The microscope is delicate, with moving / detachable parts. If you must lift it, hold it firmly by the curved column (x) and support the base.
