Convex lens
or low power objective
lowpowerobjective
The lens used to locate a specimen on a microscope is typically the lowest magnification lens, known as the scanning lens or low power objective. This lens provides a wide field of view, making it easier to find and center the specimen before switching to higher magnification lenses for detailed viewing.

You should use the lowest value lens. It is the shortest one.
To locate a specimen on a microscope, the low power objective lens is typically used, often a 4x or 10x magnification. This lens provides a wider field of view, making it easier to scan the slide and find the specimen. Once located, higher power objective lenses can be used for more detailed observation.
When finding a specimen under a microscope, you typically start with the lowest power objective lens, such as the 4x or 10x lens, to locate the specimen easily. Once the specimen is in focus, you can switch to a higher power lens, like the 40x or 100x, for a more detailed view. Always ensure to refocus slowly to avoid damaging the slide or the lens. This method allows for a clear and systematic approach to observing the specimen.
low power objective lens to locate and focus on the specimen before moving to higher magnifications.
When viewing a specimen, you must always use the lower power objective lenses first. Low power lens gives the widest field of view and makes it easier to find the specimen when you look through the microscope. Finding the specimen at high power, without first centering it in the field of view at low power, is nearly impossible.
A microscope uses an objective lens and an eyepiece lens to magnify tiny objects for closer examination. The objective lens gathers light from the specimen and forms an enlarged image, which is further magnified by the eyepiece lens for viewing.
To locate a specimen on a microscope, you typically start with the low-power objective lens, usually 4x or 10x. This magnification provides a broader field of view, making it easier to find the specimen. Once located, you can switch to a higher power objective lens for more detailed observation. Always ensure to use the coarse focus knob with low power and the fine focus knob with higher magnifications for clarity.
You should always begin focusing on a specimen with the 4x objective lens because it provides the widest field of view, allowing you to locate the specimen easily. This lower magnification also offers a greater depth of field, making it easier to find and center the specimen before switching to higher magnifications. Additionally, starting with the 4x lens minimizes the risk of crashing the objective lens into the slide, which can damage both the slide and the lens.
When initially focusing a specimen under a microscope, it is best to use the lowest power objective lens, typically the 4x or 10x lens. This allows for a wider field of view and greater depth of field, making it easier to locate and center the specimen. Once the specimen is in focus, you can then switch to higher power objectives for more detailed observation.
