Below you will find a slideshow depicting the main 12 pieces of a compound microscope. The same microscope image is used for the slideshow as well as the worksheets. This creates a cohesive lesson that marries well together for teachers and students. The anatomy of the microscope is identified, labeled, and then described and defined. While showing the slideshow to your student(s), let them fill in the guided notes. I like to print out the scaffolding notes with the fill-in-the-blank diagram. This way the student has ample notes for their science notebook and for the microscope anatomy quiz.
