What are the Key Components of a Light Microscope?
A standard light microscope consists of several key components:
1. Optical Lens System: Includes objective lenses and eyepieces that magnify the image of the sample. 2. Light Source: Provides illumination for the sample. 3. Stage: Holds the slide in place. 4. Condenser: Focuses light onto the sample. 5. Focus Mechanism: Includes coarse and fine focus knobs to adjust the focus of the sample.
