  • Image size = actual size x magnification
  • Metres -> millimetres = x1000
    Millimetres -> micrometres = x1000
    Micrometres -> nanometres = x1000

  • Stage - where the glass slide is placed, held into place by the clips
  • Coarse adjustment - used to adjust the focus of the microscope by moving the stage up or down
