What power must be in place when you first find an image in the microscope?
You should first use the lowest power setting of a microscope to find an object and then center it within the viewing area. Then, when you switch to the next higher magnification, your target should still be close to the center and easier to find and focus on.
What is the function of the power switch in the microscope?
To switch on the microscope, which needs light. Since sunlight isn't as reliable at all times during the day and night, modern microscopes have lamps that require electricity to work.
What is the proper procedure for focusing the microscope?
start with the lowest objective then adjest your focus. After, switch your objective if needed going from lower to higher
Why is locating an object more difficult if you start with the high-power objective rather than the low power obejctive exspically the brightness whats up with that?
The reason it is more difficult is that the 'field of view' is much smaller, the higher the objective power. In other words, you don't have to be so exactly 'on target' with a lower objective power, as the field of view is larger in proportion to the object being viewed, so the object can be farther off to one side or the other, and still be seen. Once found in the lower power field, center the object in the field and then switch to the higher power- the object should then be in the higher power field of view. This is true for microscopes and telescopes, as well as any instrument that magnifies at different powers of magnification.
What a switch does in an electricial circut?
A switch is normally used to open or close an electric circuit, but it can also be used to change the flow from one circuit to another.
Why is it helpful for a microscope to be parfocal?
Once the object is in focus with lowest power, it should also be almost in focus with the higher power.
What does it mean when a specimen is under low power magnification you can switch to high power magnification and have the specimen remain in reasonably good focus?
It means you have a good microscope.

Why is it important to start with a low magnification when using the microscope?
So you can determine the actual size of what you are looking at.

it is parfocal
What is the function of a power on a microscope?
In a compound Microscope, Power Switch turns on the lamp( Light source)
What is the lens that is used to find the specimen on a microscope?
You use the low power lens to find the specimen with a microscope. Once you have found the specimen on low power, you can switch to high power for greater magnification. Just be sure to use only the fine adjustment knobs for focusing on high power so the high power objective won't hit the slide.

Why is slide centered before moving to higher power on microscope?
When you switch to high power, you are focusing on a very small part of the large picture. If you center your object under low power (preferably by the little black arrow most microscopes have) you will see the object you are looking at 100% of the time. If you do not center your object, the object will end up being off to the side of what you are looking at in your field of view. It's kind of like zooming in on a map on the internet, you have to center what you want to zoom in on or else you will zoom in on an area you did not want to look at.
What do you call a tiny switch that can be set to either on or off?
