Microscope
Sorry about the delay in posting. The network port in my studyhall is not working.
The microscope is a useful tool for the biologist. It is composed of many parts that help magnify an image so it can be observed. Select a microscope part, define it, and explain its use or significance. Do not repeat. If no parts remain, suggest an important safety rule for using the scope.

The Stage:
The stage is where the slide is put and can be moved up and down by using the two knobs on the side to enhance focus. It is the heart of the microscope! :)
