Here are the parts of a compound microscope and their functions:
Eyepiece (Ocular Lens)*: Magnifies the image formed by the objective lens. Usually 10X or 15X magnification.
Revolving Nosepiece*: A rotating disc in a compound microscope that holds multiple objective lenses.
Coarse Adjustment Knob*: Moves the stage up and down for rough focusing.
Fine Adjustment Knob*: Provides sharp and precise focusing of the specimen.
Objective Lenses*: Provide different levels of magnification (4X, 10X, 40X, 100X). Closest to the specimen.
Condenser Lens*: Focuses light onto the specimen for clear image formation.
Mirror / Illuminator*: Provides light to illuminate the specimen. Can be a mirror or built-in light source.
Inclination Joint*: Allows the microscope body to be tilted for comfortable viewing.
