Eyepiece that people have to use look at whatever is on the stage

Eyepiece that people have to use look at whatever is on the stage

Ocular Lens (eyepiece)

It connects the top with the base and that’s where you hold it to move microscope

Arm

control the amount of light to pass through the condenser

iris/diaphragm

Ocular lens times Objective Lens

Calculate Magnification

The area you can see through the ocular lens

Field of View

The distance between the bottom of the objective lens and the stage

Working Distance

where the specimen is placed to be observed usually a mount on a glass slide

Stage

Controls the different power or objective lens

Nosepiece

The distance where the specimen becomes focus

Depth of Field

used to change small amounts of focus

Fine adjustment

used to change large amounts of focus

Coarse adjustment

lens to magnify object being looked at

objective lens

A unicellular organism that is in both plants and animals. A mixotroph. “Plant like” protist

euglena

A Unicellular protist found in aquatic habitats, Heterotrophic, covered in cilia

Paramecium

Autotrophic protist, ornate silica cell wall, two distant shapes radically symmetrical, and bilaterally symmetrical (pennate diatoms)

Diatoms

Heterotrophic, unicellular organisms, found in terrestrial, marine, and aquatic environments, move around with pseudopodia, they have amorphous (shapeless) bodies

amoeba

Slime mold, large bag with cytoplasm with multiple nuclei

plasmodial

A freshwater, filamentous green algae, spiral chloroplasts

spirogyra

Slime mold forming spores when environmental conditions are unfavorable

Plasmodial forming Sporangia

Clusters of spores formed

Sporangium
