Question

Microscope with labeled parts including eyepieces, objective lenses, stage, focus knobs, and base.

Accepted Answer

Hi, everyone. Let's take a look at this next problem here. It says which part of the microscope is responsible for maintaining the correct distance between the eyepiece and the objectives. A arm B body tube C base or D stage clips. So to answer this question, we really need to be able to visualize the parts of a microscope. So that means putting up with my mediocre drawing skills. So enjoy my lovely little drawing of microscope. So first, we want to identify where is the eye piece and the objectives because we want the piece that maintains the distance. So our eyepiece are the little uh cylinders that you look through up at the top there. And then the objectives are those the kind of disk that has the three different magnifying lenses or four depending at different levels, you rotate it around to set which magnification exactly you want. So looks kind of like the utter of a cow here. These are the objectives. So basically the two areas of magnification. So you have eye pieces you're looking through, they have you know, some degree of magnification there. And then those objectives that add the second level of magnification. So what would be the part of the microscope that would maintain the correct distance between those two? Well, this part that holds both of them. So that part up here at the top that you know is where both of them are positioned is the body tube. So right away, that's going to be our answer because it's physically connecting the two of them. So choice B body tube will be our answer just to be thorough. Let's label our other parts here. Choice A the arm will this be this piece that connects the body tube and the base, which is choice C the base is obviously at the bottom supporting the whole thing contains the light source point to that there within the base. The arm is also notable for having that uh focusing knob to get a good image there. And then finally to d the stage clips, I drew them in the red to make them stand out a little bit. Are those clips that hold the slide still as you focus on it? So A RC base and B stage clips, uh we've found them on our image but they're not the answer we're looking for, which is what part is responsible for maintaining the correct distance between the eye piece and the objectives. And that's choice B the body tube. See you in the next video.
