Consider a scenario where you are a scientist working in a lab. You have a tiny organism that you need to study. You have a tool at your disposal, a microscope. What is the primary function of this microscope?

• It allows you to make faraway objects, like stars or planets, appear closer.

• It enables you to make small objects, like the organism you are studying, appear larger.

• It decreases the size of small objects, making them even harder to see.

• It increases the physical size of small objects, making them easier to handle.

Imagine you are a lab assistant in a high school biology class. Your teacher has just asked you to move a microscope to a different table for an upcoming experiment. What is the correct way to carry the microscope without causing any damage?

• by the body tube and the eyepiece

• with one hand

• one hand on the arm and the other under the base

• with one hand on the base and the other on the eyepiece.

Imagine you are a scientist working in a high-tech laboratory. You are about to observe a microscopic specimen. The part of the microscope you would look through, which magnifies the image of the specimen 10x, is located at the top of the microscope. Can you identify this part?

• objective lenses

• nosepiece

• diaphragm

• eyepiece/ocular lens
