What does the objective lens in a microscope do?
The objective lens in a microscope helps to magnify the object being viewed on the slide. The objective lens can be rotated to change the magnification of the lens and yield a different view.
What happen if the microscope lens touch the slide?
1. The lens could break the slide or slip 2. The lens could make contact with a fluid on the slide, and suck the fluid up around the edges of the lens. It could even damage the lens. In any case, it would take a lot of bucks to have the microscope repaired.
Why should you always move the objective lens away from the slide when you're focusing a microscope?
If you move closer while looking thru the lens, there is a danger of cracking the slide, especially using coarse adjustment.
Why is it better to focus the microscope upward rather than downward?
When focusing the microscope downward, you take the chance of damaging the expensive objective lens by crushing the slide trying to get it in focus. By first eyeballing the objective lens and adjusting it very close to the slide, and then moving the objective lens up for the correct focus you're safe.
Why shouldnt the microscope be focused by moving the objectives and the slide closer together?
A microscope should not be focused by moving the objectives and the slide closer together because it will affect the working distance. It is the optimal distance between objective lens and the upper surface of the slide.
Which lens on a microscope should you use first to look at a slide?

What should be done whenever you are finished with a microscope?
remove the slide,return the low-power objective, use lens paper to clean the stage of microscope and the lenses
