While the microscope is one of the most exciting pieces of laboratory equipment, it is also one of the most expensive and fragile. This video illustrates how to safely and effectively use a variety of microscopes commonly found in the school laboratory. Through colorful diagrams the various components of the microscope are illustrated, as is their use. Special emphasis is made on how to prevent accidents, and how to maintain this very useful scientific tool. Other terminology includes: magnification, slide, arm, eyepiece, body tube, nose piece, objective lenses, stage, diaphragm, mirror, coarse adjustment, fine adjustment, and light.
