when you lower or raise the condenser of the microscope the object which we like to observe will shows us in a clarity way.. for example Oil Immersion type we see the object very clearly, where as incase of light or bright field the condenser and lens has some distance due to that the object clearence also low as compare to that of Oil Immersion

What is the function of the course adjustment knob on a microscope?

The course adjustment knob on a microscope is used to quickly focus on the specimen by moving the objective lens up or down. It is typically used for initial rough focusing before using the fine adjustment knob for precise focusing.


Which adjustment knob do you turn to raise the body tube for a microscope?

You should turn the coarse adjustment knob to raise the body tube of a microscope. This knob is larger and moves the body tube more quickly than the fine adjustment knob, which is used for precise focusing.


What is a course adjustment knob?

A course adjustment knob is a control mechanism used in scientific instruments like microscopes or telescopes to make large-scale adjustments to the position or focus of the lens or mirror. It allows for quick and rough changes to the viewing angle or magnification.


Functions and parts of the microscope?

Functions and Parts of a Microscope.1. Eyepiece lens : The lens at the top of the Microscope by which we see through.2. Tube : Connects the Eyepiece to the lenses.3. Arm : Supports the main body of the microscope and connects to its base.4. Base : Bottom of the microscope , used for support.Illuminator: A steady light source (110 volts) used in place of a mirror. If your microscope has a mirror, it is used to reflect light from an external light source up through the bottom of the stage.Stage: The flat platform where you place your slides. Stage clips hold the slides in place. If your microscope has a mechanical stage, you will be able to move the slide around by turning two knobs. One moves it left and right, the other moves it up and down.Revolving Nosepiece or Turret: This is the part that holds two or more objective lenses and can be rotated to easily change power.Objective Lenses: Usually you will find 3 or 4 objective lenses on a microscope. They almost always consist of 4X, 10X, 40X and 100X powers. When coupled with a 10X (most common) eyepiece lens, we get total magnifications of 40X (4X times 10X), 100X , 400X and 1000X. To have good resolution at 1000X, you will need a relatively sophisticated microscope with an Abbe condenser. The shortest lens is the lowest power, the longest one is the lens with the greatest power. Lenses are color coded and if built to DIN standards are interchangeable between microscopes. The high power objective lenses are retractable (i.e. 40XR). This means that if they hit a slide, the end of the lens will push in (spring loaded) thereby protecting the lens and the slide. All quality microscopes have achromatic, parcentered, parfocal lenses.Rack Stop: This is an adjustment that determines how close the objective lens can get to the slide. It is set at the factory and keeps students from cranking the high power objective lens down into the slide and breaking things. You would only need to adjust this if you were using very thin slides and you weren't able to focus on the specimen at high power. (Tip: If you are using thin slides and can't focus, rather than adjust the rack stop, place a clear glass slide under the original slide to raise it a bit higher)Condenser Lens: The purpose of the condenser lens is to focus the light onto the specimen. Condenser lenses are most useful at the highest powers (400X and above). Microscopes with in stage condenser lenses render a sharper image than those with no lens (at 400X). If your microscope has a maximum power of 400X, you will get the maximum benefit by using a condenser lenses rated at 0.65 NA or greater. 0.65 NA condenser lenses may be mounted in the stage and work quite well. A big advantage to a stage mounted lens is that there is one less focusing item to deal with. If you go to 1000X then you should have a focusable condenser lens with an N.A. of 1.25 or greater. Most 1000X microscopes use 1.25 Abbe condenser lens systems. The Abbe condenser lens can be moved up and down. It is set very close to the slide at 1000X and moved further away at the lower powers.Diaphragm or Iris: Many microscopes have a rotating disk under the stage. This diaphragm has different sized holes and is used to vary the intensity and size of the cone of light that is projected upward into the slide. There is no set rule regarding which setting to use for a particular power. Rather, the setting is a function of the transparency of the specimen, the degree of contrast you desire and the particular objective lens in use.
