Objective lenses

Receive the image from the specimen slide and enlarge it. Three or four lenses are usually located on a revolving nosepiece. Longer lenses are higher power and thus enlarge the image more.

Ocular lenses

Receive the image from the objective lens, enlarge it, and project it to your eyes.

Head

Top part of the microscope. Contains mirrors which reflect images to the ocular lenses. Can rotate if set-screw is loosened.

Arm

Vertical piece. Supports the head of the microscope, the stage, the condenser, and the focusing controls.

base

Horizontal piece. Supports the microscope.

stage

Platform which supports the slide. Hole in center allows light from condenser to pass through. Supports slide holder.

sub stage light source

Located above the base. Includes the field diaphragm and adjusting ring used to control the width of the light beam passing through.

on/off switch

turns the light source on and off

intensity control

Changes the intensity (brightness) of light from the light source

condenser

Series of lenses which focus light on the specimen slide. Can be moved up and down by a knob on the side.

iris diaphragm

Controls width of light beam passing through the condenser to the specimen slide

side holder

holds specimen slid in position


controls movement of slide

knobs for moving slides

Control fine movement of the slide holder, front-to-back and side-to-side.

Course focus control

Moves the stage up and down to bring the image of the specimen into approximate focus.

Fine focus control

Moves the stage up and down to bring image into final focus.

Basic types of Tissues

Epithelium


Muscle Tissues


Nervous Tissues


Connective Tissue

Epithelium

lines the surface of he body, hollow organs, and spaces


forms glands



muscle tissue

contracts to generate a pulling or squeezing force

nervous tissue

allows electrical information to be carried from one place to antother

Epithelium Function

protection, absorption, secretion, and filtration

Two ways Epithelial are classified

1. How many cell layers form the lining.


one layer - simple epithelium


two or more layers- stratified epithelium.


One layer but looks like many layers- pseudostratified epithelium.


2. The shape of the surface layer of cells.


Flat cells- squamous.


As wide as they are tall- cuboidal


Taller than they are wide - columnar.

Epithelial Classifications

transitional epithelium

urinary system are lined internally by an epithelium containing cellswhich go back and forth between being flat and cuboidal

three layers of epithelium

Epitheliumalways supported by connective tissueandseparated from it by a basement membrane.Depends on connective tissue for vessels,nerves, etc

Classification of glands in Epithelium

1. Ducts or not?


2. Method of Secretion

Ducts for Epithelium?

Yes - Exocrine:


duct carries product to surface



No - Endocrine:


product secrered into surronding extracellular matrix, picked up by blood vessels

Method of Secretion for Epithelium



Merocrine: Product released from undamaged cells


Apocrine: Top part of cell lost during secretionHolocrine: Entire cell lost during secretion

Visual Classification of Glands

Connective Tissues

fewer cells and space between them- extracellular matrix





extracellular matrix

1. ground substance


water and molecules dissolved


2. fibers



Fibers- connective

a. collagen fibers


b. elastic fibers


c. reticular fibers

connective tissue


Ordinary / specialized

Ordinary:


loose (areolar), adipose, reticular, elastic, dense (ir)regular




Specialized:


Blood, Bone, Cartilage



loose / areolar

adipose

reticular

dense regular

dense irregular

hyaline



elastic



fibrous

skeletal



cardiac



smooth

microscope parts

Integumentary system

hair, toenails, fingernails, and glands which produce oil and sweat


protects usfrom physical damage, keeps water and solutes in while keeping debris and damagingsubstances out, helps regulate body temperature, and serves as our interface with the worldaround us.
