winner.

Now, who among you can say what you've created in the puzzle? (Students’
answers may

A. DEVELOPMENT (DISCUSSION)
Since yesterday, we have discussed on how to express concentrations
by preparing different concentration of mixtures according to uses and
availability of materials.

For today’s class discussion, we are going to focus on the parts and
function of a microscope, an essential tool in scientific investigations.
Who among the class have an idea about the microscope and its (Students will
contribution on science? raise their hands
to answer.)

Mr./Ms. _________, share your ideas about microscope. (The student

being called is
giving her ideas
about
microscopes).
Okay Mr./Ms.___________Thank You. Very Good.

Microscopy
All of you have most likely used a microscope in several of your
laboratory experiments as a seventh grader. However, to truly
appreciate this creation, one must comprehend the reasons for the
significance of microscope use in numerous scientific areas.
Generally, a microscope is a device used to produce a larger view of
minute objects, such as those which cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Some of you may think, if we want to enlarge the view of an object or
the specimen, why can't we just use a magnifying glass instead of
microscope?

Am I correct? Students’
answers may
vary.
Magnifying lenses have been around many years before the
microscope. Why was there a need to invent the microscope?
Okay let me enlighten all of you.

Look at the table below.

Magnifying glass Microscope

They make an object They make an object
appear bigger. appear bigger and uses a
resolution which deals with
clarity, sharpness, and
fineness.

Magnification means to enlarge an image magnifying lenses do just

that: they make an object appear bigger. Generally, the greater the
image is magnified, the greater the resolution. But in the case of very
small objects, such as an image of a cell, magnification does not
necessarily enhance the resolution. You can magnify a cell’s image 10x
to 45 x and the image will be larger, but it will not necessarily show the
details of a cell more clearly. For one to get an enhanced resolution, a
different lens and design must be used.

This is where the microscope era rises. The two-lens system of the
microscope is what differentiates the quality of the image it produces.
In an optical microscope, light is made to pass through an object and is
then focused by the primary and secondary lens. When you replace the
beam of light with electron beam, you will have an electron microscope.
If electrons bounce off the object in a scanned pattern, then the device
becomes a scanning electron microscope.

Are we clear now?

Yes ma’am!
Now let's deal with the technical field of microscopy or the use of
microscopes.

The field of microscopy would not have existed if it were not for the
brilliant minds that made it possible. Here’s the three great pillars of
microscopy.

First is Zacharias Janssen. Together with his father, Zacharias

Janssen, a Dutch spectacle maker, assembled a viewing device by
placing two lenses in one tube. Although its magnification was only
around 9x, this became the precursor of both the telescope and the
microscope.
Next is Robert Hooke, the first one to publish a study of his
microscopic discoveries. His book, entitled Micrographia, was notable
for both it contents and its detailed illustrations. Hooke was the one
who discovered little rooms in a cork which he named “cells”. Lastly,
Anton Van Leeuwenhoek. Leeuwenhoek's microscope had a
magnifying power of 270x, enabling him to be the first one to see and
describe microorganisms, such as bacteria, as well as the circulation of
blood corpuscles.

This three person contributes ideas to make microscopy possible.

Without this three pillars, microscopes may not have been invented.

Now let’s move on to the parts and function of microscope.

Parts of microscope
To be able to use a microscope effectively, you must understand how
each of its parts works. But before discussing the specific parts of the
microscope, note that the object under microscope is called a
specimen or sample.

A. Magnifying Parts
1. Eyepiece- this is where a person looks through to observe the
specimen. A standardized typically has a 10x magnifying
 capacity. Some, however, have 5x to 30x magnification.
2. Objective Lenses- the primary optical lenses on a microscope,
or objective lenses, have magnifying power that range from 4x
to 100x. Its total magnification can be increased to 40x to 1000x
when coupled with a 10x eyepiece lens. Typically, a microscope
will have three or four objective lenses.
A. Low power objective (LPO) which has 10x magnification.
B. High power objective (HPO) which has 40x magnification.
C. Oil immersion objective (OIO) which has 100x
magnification.
B. Mechanical Parts
1. Body tube- this part holds the eyepiece and connects it
to the objective lenses.
2. Nosepiece or turret- the nosepiece is located at the bottom
of the body tube. This is a rotating disk which houses the
objective lenses.
3. Stage- the stage is the platform where the specimen is
placed. At higher magnifications, the slide can be adjusted
significantly with the use of the coarse adjustment knob.
4. Base- the bottom part or the base of the microscope is
usually made up of durable materials so that it can provide
stability to the microscope.
5. Arm- it is the microscope part that connects the base to the
lenses. This is also used for easy transportation. A person can
hold the arm of the microscope with one hand and put his or her
other hand under its base.
6. Coarse adjustment knob- this knob adjusts the stage with
the slide containing the specimen.
7. Fine adjustment knob- while the coarse adjustment knob is
responsible for the stage adjustment the fine adjustment knob is
used to sharpen the lens' focus on the specimen.
8. Stage clip- these are used to hold the slide in place while it
is on stage.
9. Rack stop- to prevent the ramming of objective lenses into
the slide when the coarse adjustment knob is being used, the
rack stop determines the distance between the specimen and
objective lenses.

C. Illuminating Parts
1. Illuminator/Mirror- microscopes need a light source to make
a specimen viewable. Light from an external source is reflected
by using a mirror or a powered illuminator.
2. Diaphragm- the diaphragm controls the amount of light
reaching the specimen.
3. Condenser- this is used to collect light from the illuminator or
mirror and to have it focus on the specimen
4. Aperture- this is a small hole in the stage through which light
is transmitted on the specimen's slide.

Are we clear class?

Yes ma’am!

Now can someone tell me where is eyepiece?

(The student will
raise their hands
and point out
where is
eyepiece)
 What about aperture? (The student will
raise their hands
and point out
where is aperture)
Last, can someone tell me where is the stage clip?
(The student will
raise their hands
and point out
where is stage
clip.)
Good job class!

Now, before we do our seatwork, let’s do a recap. Can someone

explain to me why we need to use microscope instead of magnifying Because
glass if we want to enlarge the view of an object or the specimen? microscope
makes an object
appear bigger and
it uses a
resolution which
deals with clarity,
sharpness, and
fineness.

Very good Mr./Ms._______. Now, can you give some parts of the
microscope and their function based on our discussion? (student’s answer
may vary)

Excellent everyone! Now, I guess you have gained deeper

understanding about our lesson and because of that we are going to
have our activity.
