Should you aim the mirror of a microscope at the sun to make sure the specimen is well lit?
No
Which focus knob should you use first when looking at a specimen?
You MUST use the coarse focus knob.
Should the course adjustment knob be used for focusing with all three objectives?
Yes, but only to do the most basic focusing. Keep in mind that you can break your slide if you move too close with the coarse adjustment knob and any focusing close to the slide should be done with the fine adjustment knobs. (taught HS Chemistry). Hope that helps!
What objective lens is it easiest to find or locate your specimen?
You should use the lowest value lens. It is the shortest one.
When observing a slide should the specimen be on the top or bottom surface of the microscope?
A specimen should be on the top surface of the slide and place a cover-slip over it.
Which objective should the coarse focus knob be used?
The coarse adjustment knob is only used with the low-power objective lens (usually 4x) because all the other ones are too long and the coarse adjustment knob may bring the slide up too qucikly, therefore it might break the slide or crush the specimen being observed. When using the medium (10x) and high (40x) power objective lens, it is best to use the fine adjustment knob to focus on the details instead.
What should you do if a specimen spills on your clothes?
What is the specimen?
An organism is composed of two layers of cells A student is observing one of the layers with a compound microscope under high power To observe the second layer of cells the student should?
turn the fine adjustment
What is the first magnificationused to look at a slide?
You start with the lowest magnification. Once you have found the specimen and focused it, you can move it to the next higher magnification. It should still be in focus, although you might need to use the fine adjustment.
What is the difference when observing a specimen under high power and low power?
use the fine adjustment knob to get a better view of what you are looking at.For low power you can use the coarse adjustment and fine adjustmentfor high power you should only use the fine adjustment because on high power, the objective lens is too close to the slide and using the coarse adjustment may scratch the objective lens.
What part of the microscope should you used to focus the image when using high power objective lens?
First of all, one should never call it high power, it is morecommonly called the "high objective", yet that is not what this question is asking. To answer the question: You use the fine adjustment knob. This knob should be located near the coarse adjustment knob, on the opposite side of the microscope (at the same height as the coarse adjustment knob), or even as a separate knob protruding from the coarse adjustment knob. The fine adjustment knob is smaller in size. You should never, ever use the coarse adjustment knob under the high objective, you could scratch the microscope slide, cover slip, high objective lens, or in a worst case scenario break the high objective lens.

How should you spend your day?
Observing nature.
Why must the distance from slide to objective lens increase rather than decrease when coarse focusing with the scannin and low power objectives?
According to my neurons that the distance from slide to objective lens should be increase rather than decrease when coarse focusing with the scanner and LPO to obtain a clearer and more focus structure of a certain specimen.. U must ensure that the coarse adjustment knob is at it's extent and then turn on the fine adjustment knob clockwise for the easier visibility of the specimen =)) - VALERIC ACID ...sPCUTE ..=)
What is the definition of Coarse adjustment?
The coarse adjustment knob elevates the microscope's stage up and down quickly. The fine adjustment knob does the same thing but more slowly and accurately. In other words, the fine adjustment knob should require more revolutions to elevate the stage as much as the coarse adj. knob does.
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.
