Want this question answered?
start with the low power objective
When using a microscope, you are magnifying the area under the lens by however many times the magnification is on your lens. On low power the area expanded by the lens is smaller than on high magnification. When on low power more is visible and there is less area to search for your given object under the microscope. I recommend finding the object on low magnification, and then switching to high once you have found it.
because it allows you to find the part of the slide you want to see, then you can zoom in by changing focus to see the frame in greater detail. if you don't start in low power it is extremely difficult to move around the slide
Ask a jellyfish yea.....well if you don't have a jellyfish around when you need it, you can also look at the magnifier, so if a regular microscope has 4x under lwo power, it is 40x, due to 10x already when you look through the ocular piece. so medium power is 10x, would be 100 times magnified, and 40x for high is 400 times magnified.
The higher the power, the more difficult it is to have the item being viewed centered in the viewing field. However at lower power the viewing angle is wider and it is easier to find and position the item in the field. So we start by centering the item in the field at lower power, increase the power and center it again.
With a high power objective you see less sky and might not know where you are looking. With a low power objective you see more and it is possible to orient yourself among the objects in view.
You use the low power objective lens first to get your sample centered in the field of view.

The reason it is more difficult is that the 'field of view' is much smaller, the higher the objective power. In other words, you don't have to be so exactly 'on target' with a lower objective power, as the field of view is larger in proportion to the object being viewed, so the object can be farther off to one side or the other, and still be seen. Once found in the lower power field, center the object in the field and then switch to the higher power- the object should then be in the higher power field of view. This is true for microscopes and telescopes, as well as any instrument that magnifies at different powers of magnification.
b/c the high power only allows you to see a small portion of thee slide. where as the low power pretty much allows you to see the whole slide all at once.
start with the lowest objective then adjest your focus. After, switch your objective if needed going from lower to higher
Ocular Lens (eyepiece) or Stage
start with the low power objective
You should start with the lowest objective (10x) and work up to the highest or until the object is clear.
Generally we start with low potency and raise it to higher one.
It's harder to find
A: A stepper motor does it not start and spins but rather move to the next position according to the polarity of the power applied
