Importance of Microscope Maintenance

The document discusses the importance of the microscope for observing microorganisms that are not visible to the naked eye. It explains that the microscope must be in good mechanical, optical, and lighting condition to make accurate observations. It also points out that it is necessary to use the microscope precisely to avoid damaging the equipment or the sample. It describes a laboratory practice where a microscope was used to observe a flea at different magnifications, noting more details as the magnification increased. Concludes.

DISCUSSION

The microscope is very important in life as it allows us to observe microorganisms.


they cannot be seen with the naked eye, to be able to see these microorganisms it is necessary for the microscope to have the
necessary increase to carry out the observation, also that it is in good condition, in the optical part,
mechanics and lighting, in case they are not in the correct state or if the microscope is damaged in these respects
parts would not allow us to make the correct observation. So to have a good observation we must.
to keep the microscope in good condition both in mechanics, optics, and lighting, which would allow us to carry out
certain observations in different samples necessary or required. Also make the correct use of it already

steps in its use, since otherwise the equipment or the sample to be observed could be damaged.
In Laboratory Practice No. 1 Use, Handling, and Parts of the Optical Microscope; we saw the capacity of the
microscope, its use, operation, and its parts, observing a sample with the different objectives of 4X,
10X and 40X, we also know their advantages such as getting closer or further away from the sample in different ways.
until having a clear image, using the macrometric and micrometric screws as necessary to
to have the best image and clarity, adjusting the lighting in the same way to have the best focus and the
lenses according to the observer's view, in order to better understand the parts what component a
our sample or necessary observations in the process.
According to the practice carried out, a flea was observed that was placed on the plant and focused on it with the
object 4x where it could be fully observed, as well as the parts (head, thorax, abdomen, eye, tarsus, etc.)
which is composed of the flea, when changing the objective from 4X to 10X, it was possible to observe better and already knowing all
the parts could be known in more detail each of them and their structures that compose it, which do not
They can be seen very easily by the human eye since the object has better resolution, whereas when switching to the object.
40X provides higher resolution of each of the smallest parts of the flea as they can be known.
much better since what we focus on is the upper part of the flea (head, eye, comb)
genal, thorax and maxillary palpus.

We conducted these tests on a lightweight microscope, which is a common optical microscope using the
wavelengths of visible light. Light microscopes are widely used as a tool for viewing
small objects in colors. Like the smallest organisms that cannot be easily seen by the eye.
humans, we are also starting to know, to become more familiar with each of its parts and each function
of the microscope, so when we have a better handling of this microscope we will be able to use it with
ease and good use since it is a device that requires a lot of precision to be able to focus in order to obtain
the best results of the sample being observed.
