III.BASIC TEORY
Microscope and its function
A microscope is a high precision optical instrument that uses a lens or a combination
of lenses to produce highly magnified images of small specimens or objects especially
when they are too small to be seen by the naked (unaided) eye. A light source is used
(either by mirrors or lamps) to make it easier to see the subject matter (Alan Hale, 2007:3). Three important parameters in microscopy are magnification, resolution, and contrast.
Magnification is the ratio of an objects image size to its real size. (c ampbell, 2008 : 95).
The function of microscope is to increase separation ability, so the object will larger and
possible to be observed.
Parts of microscope
Microscope divided into two big parts. That are optic part and non-optic part. Optic
part consist of objective lens, ocular lens, condenser lens, and mirror or other light source
as light controller. And non-optic part consist of base, stage, arm, coarse adjustment, fine
adjustment, tubular body, revolver, and diaphragm,
Objective lens is a lens that near with the object that will be observed. This lens form a
real, inverted, and magnified image. Ocular lens is lens near with eye or usually called as
eyepiece. It has function to form an illusion, inverted, and magnified image from objective
lens. The condenser functions to focus the light source on the specimen. It also eliminates
stray light and provides an uniform illumination.
A base is a part of microscope that has function to support the microscope so that it
can stand steady. Arm is the curved, upright structure which is attached to the base at the
inclination joint. Arm is the place to carry the microscope. A stage is the horizontal
platform which is attached to the arm. Stage is a place where the observation take place.
The stage contains a centrally located opening through which light can be reflected by the
mirror. The stage also has tow clips on it. The coarse adjustment consist of the larger pair
of discs which extend laterally from the upper part of arm. These may be used to
accomplish major changes of focusing distance. Fine adjustment consist of the smaller
pair of discs located just below the base. These may be turned to bring object into sharp

focus. Tubular body is the cylindrical part of the microscope into which the ocular fits.
(Thomas, Jeanette. 1996 : 1) Under of the tubular body there is a place for objective lens
that can be rotated is called revolver. Diaphragm has function to control the light that will
enter to microscope by control the iris diaphragm lever.
How to use microscope
When doing an experiment or observation on laboratory, it is very important to know
how to use a microscope. In order to obtain the maximum separation ability, do the
following steps :
1. Use both hands to carry the microscope to your seat. Place the microscope on the
table in front of you and position yourself so that you are comfortably seated while
looking through the microscope.
2.
Place the microscope in the light, open the diaphragm until maximum.3.
Arrange the position of the flat/concave mirror, so that the condenser glass become
light.
4. Increase the condenser until maximum by rotating the condenser button
5.
Place a preparat on the stage of microscope
6. Pull down the tube microscope until objective lens nearly touching the cover glass.
7. Look through the ocular lens the preparat until focus by turning the regulator coarse
Note : when using a microscope , using a magnification of ocular and objective lens from
weak to coarse. Arrange slit diaphragm until adequate lighting.
The important things to Use Microscope :
1. Holding the microscope with one hand and the other hand to hold the foot microscope
2. The stage of microscope should be horizontal to keep from falling preparations
3. Clean the lens only with paper/special cloth to the lens (soft tissue)
4.
Get used to keep both eyes open when observing
5. After using the microscope, turn rough regulators on so there is a distance between the
objective lens with table microscope, arrange the position of the mirror in an upright
position. Clean the objective lens when struck oil emersion and clean up the table
microscope from dirt or spills medium using a tissue
6.
Store the microscope in cupboard with control temperature. (biology team lecturer,

VI.DISCUSSION
A microscope is an optical instrument or tool that usually used for observing a
specimen or object especially very small object that cant seen by the naked eyes.
Microscope is very important tool in biology field. It has several parts. Each part of
microscope has important role. For example objective lens that has function for forming
an image of an object, and then continued by an ocular lens. From the experiment, known
that the image of letter b in microscope become q, and letter q become b. But,
this image is not the mirror image. Because, if mirror image letter bbecome d and
letter q become p. This image is from lens image, that is objective lens, and ocular
lens. These lens is positive lens. Objective lens has character for forming a real, inverted,
and magnified image. And ocular lens has character for forming illusion, upright, and
magnified image.
When the light trough the object, the light will continued by objective lens getting an
image, this image become object for ocular lens, then ocular lens getting an image thatenter to our eyes. This image that seen on microscope. Objective lens make the image of
object become large and inverse too, then ocular lens make the image from objective lens
Left limits =
161 mm
Right limits =
165 mm
d = 4 mm so, r = 2 mm
L = r2
= 3,14 (2)2
= 12,56 mm
d on x axis= 165mm - 161mm= 4mm
Bottom limits = 11 mm
Upper limits = 16 mm
d on y axis = 16-11= 5 mm
d = 5 mm so, r = 2,5 mm
L = r2
= 3,14 (2,5)2
= 19,625 mm

become larger. From this explanation, known that the magnification of microscope got
from the result of multiple magnification of ocular lens and objective lens. The
magnification that we use on this experiment is 10x from ocular lens, and 4x from
objective lens. So, the total magnification is 10x4=40x magnification. The final image that
we see in the microscope are illusion, inverse, and magnified image. it is the result of
reflection of objective and ocular lens.
The result from our observation about the movement of the object that had been see on
ocular lens, are :
a. If the object move to the right side, the image move to the left side,
b. If the object move to the left side, the image move to the right side,
c. if the object moving up, the image moving down
d. if the object moving down the image moving up.The conclusion from that result is that the movement of an image is opposite with the
object. The image that formed by object (inverted image ) influence the movement too.
Area of Field of view is an image area that seen from ocular lens. To know the area of
field of view moving forward, backward, left, and right the object and recording the left,
right, top, and bottom of limit of the object that can be seen on the scale of microscope.For
example when the object moved to the right side, the getting result is the left limit of the
object etc. Knowing the size of the field of view will enable to determine the size of the
object. The area of field of view get from these formula A= r2. is constant that the value
is 3,14 or 22/7. And r is the radius. From the experiment result, the right limit of the object
is 165 mm and left limit is 161 cm. The top limit is 16 cm and bottom limit is 11 cm. The
radius get from the difference between the right and left limits or top and bottom limit. The
result of radius from this experiment are d on x axis = 2 cm and d on y axis = 2,5 cm. and
the field of view for x axis = 12,56 mm and for y axis = 19,625 mm. The area of x and y
axis must be same because the image that showed by microscope has circle shape, and the
radius of circle always same. So, the field of view between x and y axis must be same.
However, the result of the area of field of view from this experiment are not same. This is
because a human error. when used the microscope, observer (me) used the microscope
careless. Besides that, the object that will be measured must be on the fix place, dont
make the object move because it will make the measurement is not accurate. Because the
accurate measuring can be very important when identifying an object. The stage or object
table must be horizontal.

VII. CLOSING
7.1 CONCLUSION
A microscope is an optical instrument or tool that usually used for observing a
specimen or object especially very small object that cant seen by the naked eyes.
microscope has a function to increase separation ability so, we can see a small object.
Microscope has several parts that are objective lens, ocular lens, condenser lens, and
mirror or other light source as light controller, base, stage, arm, coarse adjustment, fine
adjustment, tubular body, revolver, and diaphragm, The image that formed on
microscope are illusion, inverse, and magnified image. the movement of an image is
opposite with the object. The area of field of view will gotten by using these formula
A=r2. The are of field of view must be same because the image that showed by
microscope has circle shape, and the radius of circle always same.7.2SUGGESTION
Always be careful when doing an experiment or observation, because the
carelessness will make the result of observation will not accurate. Should be careful in
using the tool or material and always pay attention on safety work in laboratory. Always
pay attention the explanation of the practical assistant when doing a practical work.
