It is customary to depict microscopes on posters promoting cleanliness and the fight against infectious diseases. The image of this device is also appropriate on the cover of a book on optics or biology, as well as in the advertising brochure, if it is necessary to emphasize the accuracy of the manufacture of the advertised product.
Instructions
Step 1
Place a real microscope in front of you - necessarily a biological one, not a metallographic one, since the appearance of the second is somewhat unusual. If there is no microscope, while drawing, you can look at its photograph.
Step 2
Start drawing with the eyepiece, depicting it as a flattened oval. Inside it, draw a second smaller oval - this is the hole with the lens to which the eye is leaning.
Step 3
The eyepiece is located at the end of the tube - draw it as two parallel lines. Mark its opposite end with an arc similar to the lower arc of the oval.
Step 4
The tube enters a prism located in the casing. This is necessary to ensure the tilt of the eyepiece, so it is more convenient to use the microscope. To depict a prism, first draw a right-angled triangle directly below the arc, and its right angle should be located to the left and below. To add volume to the prism, draw two parallel lines diagonally up and to the right, interrupting the top with a tube. Then connect these lines together.
Step 5
Now sketch out the lens - a short cylinder emerging from the prism. Draw a stand under it in the form of an oval (partially torn by the image of objects located above it). Draw two lines down from the stand, and under them draw an arc similar to the lower arc of the oval - this will give it volume. You can depict it not oval, but rectangular.
Step 6
At the top, draw a small oval or rectangular stage. For some microscopes, it is not part of the stand, but is raised above it. The drawing will be completed with an L-shaped bracket connecting the prism to the stand, a height adjustment knob, and small legs. If desired, you can also depict a side mirror directing light into the stand to illuminate the specimen from below. You can make the drawing more realistic by depicting three interchangeable lenses on a rotating turret. And to show a binocular microscope, depict a housing with a wider prism and draw two parallel tubes with eyepieces emanating from it.
