How to draw a microscope in pencil step by step

The microscope is used in educational institutions, medicine and scientific institutions. It is used for detailed consideration of very small objects that are invisible to ordinary sight.

If you want to learn how to draw this complex device correctly, you will first need to get information about the methods and nuances of such a work. From this article you will receive detailed information on how to draw a microscope using a pencil in an affordable way. Using the step-by-step guide described below, you will be able to get a precise drawing of the optical device - a microscope.

How to draw a microscope with a pencil (in stages)

• Stage 1. First, draw a telescope or tube to monitor the object. There are varieties with one and two tubes. Draw a rectangle that is slightly rounded at the end, with a slight extension. The tube should be inserted into the base, which is attached to the disk with a tripod at the bottom
• Step 2. Draw a disc with lenses. The resulting oval in the figure is a circle in reality, with an extended front part. The disk is inserted from three to four lenses. They contain lenses of different magnification multiplicity (ability). It is the lenses that give the necessary increase in the object. Draw a lens of cylindrical shape, slightly narrowing to the end. This is the place where the lenses themselves are located
• Step 3. Draw the back of the microscope from the base of the tube. This is the so-called leg, which connects the platform and the tube of the microscope. Straighten straight lines to convey the distinct outlines of the leg
• Step 4. Draw the stage with the holders. These are small plates that are fixed with screws. They are, as a rule, two, and they hold the slides. They place an object for study. A screw is visible in the lower section of the table. It is necessary to remove and approach the table from the lens
• Step 5. Draw a blank - the place where the microscope foot should be inserted. This figure is like a box. From both sides, apply large screws to lower and raise the leg of the optical device
• Step 6. Draw the platform (base) of the device, the place where it stands and fastens. Based on the image of the backlight - a small flashlight or lamp
• Step 7. On both sides of the backlight, draw the base of the device with the legs at the bottom. On the side, in the rectangle is a button to turn off and on the backlight
• Stage 8. Apply strokes on the screws and backlight. In this way it will be possible to transfer their ribbed texture.

• Step 9. Remove any extra auxiliary lines. If you want, color the resulting black and white picture. Select the light and dark areas of the sketch.

Familiarize yourself with the step-by-step instructions in order to understand how to draw a microscope simply and well.

Necessary tools and materials

Before you draw a microscope, you will need to prepare office and auxiliary tools, neo

Required for work:

• A white sheet of paper.
• Slate pencil.
• Eraser.
• Image or photograph of the microscope.
• Several colored pencils of dark colors.

How to draw a light microscope

1. Prepare a sample - an image or a photo of a light microscope.
2. Start by drawing the eyepiece. Draw it in the form of an oval (side view). Draw another oval inside it, a little less. This hole with a lens, through which the studied object.
3. The eyepiece is located at the end of the tube. Draw it with two parallel lines, and draw the opposite end with an arc.
4. In the prism enters the tube, it is located in the casing. For a prism image, draw a rectangular triangle below the arc. To make the volume, draw two lines diagonally to the right and up. Interrupt the upper image of the tube, and connect the lines together.
5. Draw a lens in the form of a small cylinder. Under it draw an oval shaped support.

6. At the top, draw a small rectangular stage. If desired, you can depict the side mirror and three plug-in lenses on the rotary turret (the place where the lens or lenses are attached).

Controversial Facts

According to historians, the creator of the microscope is Anthony Van Leuvengook. For many years, until the middle of the eighteenth century, his invention was popular. However, there is an opinion that before Leeuwenhoek, in 1661, Robert Hooke perfected the Huygens sample - he added an additional lens to the prototype microscope. This is exactly what the issue of sharpness of the image solved. We do not know reliably who invented the microscope. However, we can fully appreciate the role of the invention for the world as a whole.
