What should be done after you are finished using a microscope?

What should be done whenever you are finished using a microscope? Remove the slide, turn the scope to low power, turn off the light.

What power do you start with when using a microscope?

When focusing on a slide, ALWAYS start with either the 4X or 10X objective. Once you have the object in focus, then switch to the next higher power objective. Re-focus on the image and then switch to the next highest power.

When would you use a microscope?

A microscope is an instrument that can be used to observe small objects, even cells. The image of an object is magnified through at least one lens in the microscope. This lens bends light toward the eye and makes an object appear larger than it actually is.

Which part of the microscope will be used first to adjust the focus when starting with the lowest?

Start by rotating the objective lens to lowest power. Place a slide on the stage, label side up, with the coverslip centered. On LOW POWER ONLY, use the coarse focus knob to get the object into focus. If you cannot see anything, move the slide slightly while viewing and focusing.

When looking through your microscope you move your slide to the right it appears?

If you have to close one eye when looking into the microscope, it's ok. Remember, everything is upside down and backwards. When you move the slide to the right, the image goes to the left!

How do you use a microscope to observe a specimen?

Scan the slide (right to left and top to bottom) at low power to get an overview of the specimen. Then center the part of the specimen you want to view at higher power. Rotate the nosepiece to the 10x objective for 100x magnification. Refocus and view your specimen carefully.

When using a microscope How will we see a specimen will we see it just as it was placed under the microscope?

When the human eye is placed above the eyepiece, the lens and cornea of the eye "look" at this secondarily magnified virtual image and see this virtual image as if it were 10 inches from the eye, near the base of the microscope.

Which part of microscope should you hold when lifting or moving the microscope?

The microscope arm connects the eyepiece tube to the base. This is the part you should hold when transporting a microscope.

When should the fine adjustment knob be used?

Fine Adjustment Knob - This knob is inside the coarse adjustment knob and is used to bring the specimen into sharp focus under low power and is used for all focusing when using high power lenses.
