This guide covers essential components of the compound microscope used in microbiology. Key parts include the ocular (10x), various objective lenses (scanning 5x, low power 10x, high power 45x, and oil immersion 100x), stage control lever, adjustment knobs, and an iris diaphragm lever. It explains total magnification calculations and introduces basic bacterial morphologies such as cocci, bacilli, and spiral forms. Examples of bacteria examined through these lenses include Salmonella typhosa, Streptococcus lactis, and Clostridium botulinum.
