Why is it important to focus specimens under the Low Power Objectve before observing it under the High Power Objective?
It allows you to center the specimen, and if it is set up correctly, then when you switch objectives it should still be there and only need fine focusing. It also reduces the chance of crushing the specimen and/or breaking the slide or the lens as the LPO is further away from the slide than the HPO.
How do you make the proper wet mount of the letter e?
1. Use the eyedropper to place a drop of water on the center of a microscope slide2. Use the tweezers to position the letter "e" in the center of the drop.3. Holding the cover slip at a 45 degree angle, lower it slowly over the drop of water. Here's what the letter "e" looks like under low and high power. As you can see, the specimen appears to be upside down and backwards. As you can see, when you switch to high power the field of view DECREASES. Field of view is the amount of the specimen you are able to see. The higher the power, the less you see of the entire specimen. This is why it is always better to begin focusing on the lowest power possible. Beginning on the lowest power gives you the Greatest field of view, which means you will be able to see the entire specimen. For example, you most likely learned the alphabet in preschool, yet it is difficult to tell that the specimen under high power in the picture above is the letter "e".
Which activity might lead to damage of a microscope and specimen?
using the course adjustment to focus the specimen under high power
How is Specimen magnification figured out on a microscope?
A microscope magnifies or enlarges the specimen 100 times from its actual size with clarity. With this, it will be easier to build character on the specimen that is under study.
What was the first specimen to be placed under the microscope?
a piece of cork

How do you use specimen in a sentence?
The scientist examined the specimen under the microscope.
What kind of specimen can be observed under interference microscope?
specimen observed
Which activity might lead to damage of a microscope and specimen?
using the course adjustment to focus the specimen under high power
What is the difference between the field of view under high and low power?
You can see less under high power because it focuses on a smaller part of the specimen, but in more detail than low power.
What is sentence with specimen in it?
Put the specimen in the bottle.I brought back a specimen of English money.They put the bullet in a specimen bag.
What is the magnification of the specimen under lpo and hpo?
The magnification of the specimen under low power optics, lpo, is 10 times and the magnification of the specimen under high power optics, hpo, depends on the power of the microscope but is usually at least 500 times or more.
What is the object called that you look at under a microscope?
a SPECIMEN
How is Specimen magnification figured out on a microscope?
A microscope magnifies or enlarges the specimen 100 times from its actual size with clarity. With this, it will be easier to build character on the specimen that is under study.
How can an air bubbles are trapped under the specimen?
If you don't lay your slide cover correctly on the slide that has the specimen, you can have air bubbles.
Is what you look under a microscope is a specimen?
Yes - but a specimen can be something that is not observed under a microscope as well. For example, if you ever went on a walk in the country, picked a wildflower that grew there, and brought it home, you would have a specimen of a native plant that grew in the area where you found it.
