Answer 1

It looks like you are describing parts of a microscope and their functions. Here’s a list of the parts corresponding to your clues:

1. Stage: Platform on which the slide is placed for viewing.
2. Condenser: Used to focus the light from the illuminator onto the slide.
3. Iris Diaphragm (or simply Diaphragm): Controls how much light from the illuminator reaches the specimen.
4. Fine Focus Knob: Used after initial focusing to sharpen the image.
5. Eyepiece (or Ocular Lens): Lens that you look through.
6. Objective Lens: Lens that is closest to the slide and provides initial magnification of a specimen.
7. Coarse Focus Knob: Used for initial focusing; should never be used when the high-power objective lens or oil immersion objective lens is in place.
