GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Body Tube. This is the long, skinny tube that holds the eyepiece up above the microscope. It allows the light of the image to travel up from the objective lenses to the eyepiece.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eyepiece Tube holds the eyepieces in place above the objective lens. Binocular microscope heads typically incorporate a diopter adjustment ring that allows for the possible inconsistencies of our eyesight in one or both eyes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Body Tube-The body tube is a hollow tube through which light travels from the objective to the ocular. It contains a prism at the base of the tube that bends the light rays so they can enter the inclined tube.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tube: Connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses. Arm: Supports the tube and connects it to the base. Base: The bottom of the microscope, used for support. Illuminator: A steady light source (110 volts) used in place of a mirror.

Detailed explanation-5: -The eyepiece, or ocular, magnifies the primary image produced by the objective; the eye can then use the full resolution capability of the objective. The microscope produces a virtual image of the specimen at the point of most distinct vision, generally 250 mm (10 in.) from the eye.
