Using the microscope • Always observe using the LOWEST POWER objective first. • Focus using the COARSE ADJUSTMENT KNOB to bring the object into focus. Bring the object into sharp focus by using the fine adjustment knob. • Focus, and then move to a higher power objective, if needed. • Use only the FINE ADJUSTMENT KNOB when using the HIGHEST (longest) POWER OBJECTIVE. • Keep both eyes open to reduce eyestrain. • Determine total magnification of the object by multiplying the power of the ocular (10x) the power by the power of the objective.
Preparing a slide • Using a pipet or dropper, add a drop of water or another solvent to a clean microscope slide. Then, place the specimen in the water. • Place the edge of a coverslip on the slide so that it touches the edge of the water. • Slowly lower the coverslip to prevent the formation of air bubbles.
