What else can I help you with?
When observing a slide should the specimen be on the top or bottom surface of the microscope?
The specimen should be placed on the top surface of the microscope slide. This allows the light to pass through the specimen from below and be magnified by the lenses in the microscope to form an image for observation.
How do you adjust the slide when the specimen is out of the field of view to the top?
To adjust the slide when the specimen is out of the field of view to the top, gently move the slide on the stage towards you using the x and y-axis controls on the microscope. Start by adjusting the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen roughly into view, then fine-tune the focus with the fine focus knob until the specimen is in focus at the top of the field of view.
What goes ona microscope slide?
A thin and transparent specimen is placed on a microscope slide for observation under a microscope. Common samples include cells, tissues, bacteria, or small organisms. To keep the specimen in place and protect it, a coverslip is often placed on top before examination.
What is the cover over the specimen called on microscope?
The cover over the specimen on a microscope is called a microscope slide cover slip. It protects the specimen from dust and damage and helps to maintain the specimen in place while observing it under the microscope.
What is the small piece of glass used to cover the specimen on the slide?
The small piece of glass used to cover the specimen on the slide is called a cover slip. It is placed on top of the specimen to protect it and to prevent it from drying out during observation under a microscope.
What are the steps of the wet mount?
the five steps to making a wet mount slide is 1.use a flat glass slide to prepare a wt mount slide 2.suck up a few drops of water from your liquid specimen into a medicaine dropper 3.pick up the wet mount slide on the 2 outer sides of the slides 4.place the specimen your using into the water 5.place the top cover slips on the top of the water with the specimen in it (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (: (:
When you moved the slides in different directions what changes in the images of the specimen under focus did you notice?
You should notice that the image in the microscope moves in the opposite direction to the movement of the slide. For example, if the specimen slide is moved top to bottom, the image seen moves from bottom to top. This can be very confusing.

What requires more light a stained specimen slide or an unstained live specimen slide?
A stained specimen slide typically requires more light than an unstained live specimen slide. This is because the staining process can reduce the transparency of the specimen, making it harder for light to pass through and creating a need for more illumination to visualize details.
