It appears that the question is asking for information to be filled into a table related to the operation of Olympus compound microscopes. However, the table itself is not provided in the text. To assist you effectively, I will provide general information about the operation of Olympus compound microscopes that could be relevant for filling in such a table.

General Information on Olympus Compound Microscopes

  1. Parts of the Microscope:

    • Eyepiece (Ocular Lens): The lens at the top that you look through, usually 10x magnification.
    • Objective Lenses: Usually 3-4 lenses ranging from 4x to 100x magnification.
    • Stage: The flat platform where you place your slides.
    • Illuminator: The light source located at the base.
    • Condenser: Focuses light onto the specimen.
    • Diaphragm: Adjusts the amount of light that reaches the specimen.
    • Coarse and Fine Focus Knobs: Used to focus the microscope.

  2. Basic Operation Steps:

    • Turning On the Microscope: Ensure the illuminator is on.
    • Placing the Slide: Secure the slide on the stage using stage clips.
    • Selecting Objective Lens: Start with the lowest magnification lens.
    • Focusing: Use the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen into view, then use the fine focus knob for detailed focusing.
    • Adjusting Light: Use the diaphragm and condenser to adjust the light for optimal viewing.

  3. Maintenance Tips:

    • Cleaning Lenses: Use lens paper to clean the eyepiece and objective lenses.
    • Covering the Microscope: Use a dust cover when the microscope is not in use.
    • Handling: Always carry the microscope with both hands, one on the arm and one under the base.
Example Table (Hypothetical)

| Component | Description/Function | Maintenance Tips | |--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| | Eyepiece (Ocular) | Lens you look through, typically 10x magnification | Clean with lens paper | | Objective Lenses | Lenses with varying magnifications (4x, 10x, 40x, 100x) | Clean with lens paper | | Stage | Platform for placing slides | Keep clean and free of debris | | Illuminator | Light source | Ensure it is turned off when not in use | | Condenser | Focuses light onto the specimen | Adjust as needed for optimal lighting | | Diaphragm | Adjusts light intensity | Adjust as needed for optimal lighting | | Coarse Focus Knob | Brings specimen into general focus | Handle gently | | Fine Focus Knob | Fine-tunes the focus | Handle gently |

Summary

To fill in the table for the Olympus compound microscope, you should include details about each component, its function, and any relevant maintenance tips. This information ensures that users are familiar with the microscope's operation and can maintain it properly throughout the semester.
