Abstract
A microscope is a tool that works on the principle of light or is called an optical instrument. Microscopes
are usually used in laboratories and are designed to view small objects. There are two types of optical
microscopes, namely, biological microscopes and stereo microscopes. Biological microscopes use light
as a medium to transmit images to the eye of the observer which serves to observe microscopic and
transparent parts. An introduction to the working principle of a microscope must be known so that in
addition to being able to use it easily, getting good results or shadows of objects and to anticipate and
avoid errors in the use of a microscope. In general, microscope parts are divided into two groups, namely
optical parts and non-optical or mechanical parts. The optical part consists of the eyepiece, objective
lens, diaphragm, condenser and mirror. The non-optical parts consist of a microscope tube, revolver,
handle, fine guide screw, rough guide screw, preparationtable and microscope leg.

3. If the image in the field of view is shifted to the front left, in which direction should the
object/glass preparation be shifted? Why is that?
Answer:
If the image in the field of view is to be shifted to the left-front, then the object/glass
preparation must be shifted to the right-back. This is done because what we see in the field of
view is the image produced by the objective lens and eyepiece which is the opposite of the
object. Therefore, if the image is to be shifted in the field of view, the preparation must be
shifted in the opposite direction.
4. Write down the negative effect on the microscope if the lens is rubbed with a cloth or plain/rough
paper!
Answer:
The negative effect on the microscope if the lens is rubbed with a cloth or refractive paper
will cause scratches on the lens and this will automatically interfere with the observation
process, so that the observations made will result in something less accurate and cause the
resulting image to be inconsistent with the actual and the lens. The microscope will be damaged
and cannot be used.
