________ shapes the cell.
Cell Membrane
The _____ Body controls the imports and exports of the cell ( delivery system)
Golgi body
Small ball like structures
Ribosomes
The vacuum cleaner contains digestive subsenses that enter the cell
Lysosomes
Reticulum Responsible fore folding and transporting of proteins
E.R
It allows plants to make food and gives it color
chloroplast
Holds 2 or more objective lenses and can be rotated to easily change power
Revolving Nosepiece
Typically 4,10,40* and 100* powers. The greatest power is the longest
Objective lenses
The rotating disk under the stage. It has different sized holes used to intensify and size the cone of light projected upward toward the slide.
Diaphragm
Moveable clips used to hold the microscope slide in place
Stage clips
Moves the nosepiece in large increments and brings the specimen into approving focus
Course Adjustment
moves the nosepiece more slowly for precise final focusing
Fine Adjustment
The lens at the top you can look through. Usually 10* or 15* power
Eyepiece Lens
connects the eyepiece to the objective lenses
Tube
Supports the tube and connects it to the base
Arm
The bottom of the microscope, used for support
base
Either a mirror or illuminator. Projected up toward the specimen being observed.
Light source
The flat platform where you place your slides.
Stage
what is a cell
It is the smallest unit of life
Define Organism
Things that have all the characteristics of life
