Why should YOU Only use THE fine adjust when the high power objective IS in positions?
So you don't crack the slide or damage the lens
When using any high power objective you should not adjust the?
When using any high power objective, you should not adjust the coarse focus knob. This is because the high power objective lens is positioned very close to the slide, and adjusting the coarse focus can lead to crashing the lens into the slide, potentially damaging both the lens and the specimen. Instead, use the fine focus knob for precise adjustments to bring the specimen into sharp focus.
When switching from low power objective to high power objective should you open or close diaphragm?

Which part of a microscope should be used with the low power objective but not with the high power objective?
The coarse focus knob should be used with the low power objective but not with the high power objective. The point of using the coarse focus knob is to bring the specimen into general focus before fine-tuning with the high power objective, which requires more precise adjustments.
What are the steps used to focus a microscope on high power?
First focus the microscope on the lowest objective using first the coarse djustment knob and then the fine adjustment knob. Once you have it in focus, move on and do the same for the next highest objective. Continue this process until you reach the highest objective and focus it in the same fashion.
What is found on the nosepiece of a microscope that ranges from high to low power?
The nosepiece of a microscope holds multiple objective lenses, each with different magnification levels that range from high to low power. Rotating the nosepiece allows you to switch between these objective lenses to adjust the magnification of your specimen.
Which objective must be in position when you first set up a microscope?
I have always had the longest objective in position (pointing down), then lowered the lens to what I thought would be close to a good focus. This way, you can rotate the turret to the shorter lenses, and be assured that the lens body will not strike the stage or slide.
What objective should you use when first trying to locate something under a microscope?
When first trying to locate something under a microscope, you should start with the lowest power objective lens, typically a 4x or 10x lens. This provides a wider field of view and makes it easier to find the specimen. Once the specimen is located and centered, you can then switch to a higher power objective for more detailed observation. Always ensure to adjust the focus carefully to avoid damaging the slide.
When focusing a specimen you should always start with which objective?
You should start focusing with the lowest magnification objective, typically the 4x objective. This allows you to locate and center your specimen before moving to higher magnifications.
When returning the scope for storage which objective lens should be placed over the stage?
When returning the microscope to storage, the lowest power objective lens, typically the scanning objective (4x), should be placed over the stage. This position minimizes the risk of damage to the slides and the lens. It also ensures that the microscope is ready for the next user, as it provides a wider field of view for initial observations.
What adjustment will typically have to be made when changing from the lower power to the higher power objective?
When changing from a lower power to a higher power objective on a microscope, you will likely need to adjust the focus and potentially adjust the light intensity. Higher power objectives have a narrower depth of field, so focusing accurately becomes more crucial to maintain clarity in the image. Additionally, increasing the magnification may require a higher light intensity to illuminate the specimen effectively.
