You need to re-center it, and refocus. A pain, yes, but it comes with the territory. It is exactly the same with a telescope.

What power do you always begin on when you start looking at something under a microscope?

Actually, it depends on the specimen which you are observing.. Suppose, if you are observing Tissues then you have to switch to 10X objective; but if you are observing mammalian cells or other cellular specimen then you have to switch to 45X objective...But, if you want to observe microbial cells then you have to put a drop a drop of paraffin oil on the smear made on the slide and then observe it into 100X oil immersion objectivelens...


What is the lens that is used to find the specimen on a microscope?

You use the low power lens to find the specimen with a microscope. Once you have found the specimen on low power, you can switch to high power for greater magnification. Just be sure to use only the fine adjustment knobs for focusing on high power so the high power objective won't hit the slide.

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.
