A microscope is an instrument that magnifies small objects such as microbial cells, producing images with definitive structures that are identifiable and characterizable 1. The following are the structural parts of a microscope:
Head: Also known as the body, it carries the optical parts in the upper part of the microscope.
Base: It acts as the microscope’s support and carries microscopic illuminators.
Arms: This is the part connecting the base and to the head and the eyepiece tube to the base of the microscope.
The following are the optical parts of a microscope:
Eyepiece: Also known as an ocular lens, it is used to view the magnified image produced by the objective lens.
Objective lens: It is used to magnify the specimen according to its focal strength.
Stage: It is a flat platform where specimens are placed for observation.
Condenser: It is used to focus light onto the specimen being observed.
