Science post #2 (Parts of the microscope)

In science since we were learning about cells, we needed to use microscopes to look at the cells within the thing we were looking at.
In this blog post, I will tell you the parts and the functions of it.

Eyepiece - The eyePiece is what you look through to see the cell
Neck The neck is the bone structure of the eyepiece
Objective lens - is for different magnifications on how close or far you are from the cell (Yellow is M range it is 10X, Red is small and is 4X and blue is large which makes it 40X magnification) 
Stage - The stage is what is occupying your cell
Stage clip - The stage clip holds your cell in place so it doesn't move around while you look at it.
Light source - The light source is necessary so you can see the cell
Switch - The switch is to turn on the microscope
Base - The base is the bottom part of the microscope
Course knob - The course knobs allows you to move the stage up and down in big movements
Fine knob - The Fine knobs allows you to move the stage up and down in smaller movements
