GPT 3.5
1. Eyepiece: also known as the ocular lens, this is the part where you look through to observe the specimen. It typically magnifies the image by 10x.
2. Objective lenses: these are the lenses closest to the specimen and can typically be switched out for different levels of magnification (e.g. 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x).
3. Stage: this is the platform where the specimen is placed for observation.
4. Stage clips: these are used to secure the specimen slide in place on the stage.
5. Condenser lens: located beneath the stage, this lens focuses light onto the specimen to improve visibility.
6. Focus knobs: there are two focus knobs, one for coarse focusing (larger adjustments) and one for fine focusing (smaller adjustments) to sharpen the image.
7. Illuminator: this is the light source that provides the illumination needed to view the specimen.
8. Diaphragm: located beneath the condenser lens, the diaphragm controls the amount of light entering the microscope.
9. Arm: this is the part of the microscope that connects the stage and the head or body of the microscope.
10. Base: provides stability and support for the microscope.
11. Revolving nosepiece: also known as the turret, this part holds the objective lenses and can be rotated to switch between them.
