Why is the specimen prepared for a monocular microscope must be very thin?
because the specimen is always thin
Why must a specimen be very thin to be viewed under a light microscope?
Light microscope works because light goes *through* your specimen. So if the specimen is too thick, then light won't shine through, and you won't see anything.
Why must the specimen be centered before switching to high power on a microscope?
I don’t know
How thin must a specimen be in order to view it on a microscope slide?
Thin enough for light to pass through it.
What are the disadvantages of an electron microscope?
The speciman you are viewing must be in a vacuum, and be coated with a metal film, therefore the specimen can't be alive and if its a Transmission Microscope- Speciman must be extrememly thin so that the electrons can pass through them. The image is black and white.

How must samples be prepared by observation by an electron microscope?
They must be preserved and dehydrated. Once this is accomplished, put the specimen onto a slide, and then the slide is ready to be viewed under the microscope.
