Do not allow the high power objective to tough the lenses
What else can I help you with?
State two rules you should remember when using a microscope?
When using a microscope, always start with the lowest magnification objective and gradually increase the magnification to avoid damaging the slides. Additionally, remember to always use both hands when handling the microscope to ensure stability and prevent accidents.
Why should a microscope slide be held by its edges?
A microscope slide should be held by its edges to avoid leaving fingerprints or oils from the skin on the slide surface, which can interfere with the clarity of the image under the microscope. Handling the slide by its edges also helps prevent accidental damage or smudging of the sample on the slide.
What is the Correct procedure for handling sample of pond water?
place the sample on the microscope slide and observe it.
Why should a microscope slide and coverslips be held their edges?
A microscope slide and coverslip should be held by their edges due to leaving fingerprints and/or debris and how easily breakable they are. Leaving fingerprints or debris on either a slide of coverslip will alter the view under the microscope.
Why should you hold a microscope slide by the edges?
You should hold a microscope slide by the edges to avoid smudging or getting fingerprints on the glass surface. This helps ensure a clear and unobstructed view when examining the slide under a microscope.
How should a slide be placed on the microscope?
It should be placed under the clips.
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.
Which lens on a microscope should you use first to look at a slide?
The lens that you should use to first look at a slide on a microscope is a low power lens then move on to a higher power for more clarity.
Why should you look to the slide before you lower the objective of your microscope?
so the objective lens will not touch the slide.
Where do you place the slide on a microscope?
Typically, the slide is placed on the stage of the microscope, which is a flat platform that holds the slide securely in place. The slide should be positioned so that the specimen is facing up and is centered over the light source of the microscope.
What is the slide on a microscope placed on?
A coverslip is a thin glass placed on the microscope slide.
How long should the length of a blood smear be on a microscope slide?
The length of a blood smear on a microscope slide should be about 1-2 cm. This size allows for a sufficient area to view the blood cells and morphology under the microscope without overcrowding the slide. Additionally, it makes it easier to scan the whole smear efficiently.
