The Stage is the flat platform where you place your slides. Stage clips are what holds the slides in place. If the microscope has a mechanical stage, it has the ability to move the slide around by turning two knobs. One moves it left and right, the other moves it up and down. This is best adjusted while you are looking at the microscope, not through it.
The Focus knob is used in order for you to be able to see the slides located on the stage. This also controls the height of the condenser. This is best adjusted while you are looking through the microscope, and focus upward until the image is sharp enough for you to see.
The iris is located directly under the stage, and control the angle of light that is coming in. This is important because you don’t want too much light coming in when you are looking at a slide. This can be adjusted while you are looking into the microscope, or while you are looking at it.
The oculars are the eyepieces that you look through when viewing a slide on the microscope. These can be produced in a number of different designs in order to fit the right slide type with the right ocular. Again, this is best adjusted when you are looking through the microscope.
The objective with the condenser is essentially the entire microscope. This is the body and type of a microscope. This can be adjusted by replacing it, and buying a higher quality product.
