The Mechanical Parts are:
- The base - the bottom portion of the microscope that supports the microscope.
- Pillar - the part above the base that supports other parts
- Inclination joint - allows for tilting of the microscope for the convenience of the user
- Arm/neck - Held when carrying the microscope
- Stage - where the specimen is placed
- Stage Clips - holds the specimen in place
- Stage opening
- Body Tube - attached to the arm, bears the lenses
- Draw Tube - Cylinder structure on top of the body tube, holds the ocular lenses
- Revolving/Rotating Nosepiece - Revolving disc where the objectives are attached
- Dust Shield - Lies atop the nosepiece, keeps dust from settling on the objectives
- Course Adjustment Knob - raises or lowers the body tube to bring the specimen into approximate focus
- Fine Knob Adjustment - Brings the specimen into perfect focus
- Condenser Adjustment Knob - regulates the intensity of light
- Iris Diaphragm Lever - moved horizontally to open and close the diaphragm

Can i get the Pictures and parts and functions of Compound Microscope?
yes
What type of microscope aside from the compound light microscope might you use to observe the organisms found in pond water?
You could use a stereo microscope, also known as a dissecting microscope, to observe organisms found in pond water. This type of microscope provides a three-dimensional view of larger specimens at lower magnifications.
What are the three general parts of microscope?
The three general parts of a microscope are the eyepiece (ocular lens), the objective lens, and the stage where the specimen is placed and viewed. These parts work together to magnify and focus light onto the specimen for observation.
How is it possible to see parts ofthe human cells such as the nucleus?
An optical microscope can provide enough magnification to see most of the cell's parts.
What is the difference of compound microscope to digital microscope?
A compound microscope uses a series of lenses to magnify an object and requires manual adjustment for focusing, while a digital microscope captures images using a camera and projects them onto a screen for viewing. Digital microscopes also often have built-in software for image analysis and storage.
