The low power or lowest power objective
You should always begin focusing on a specimen with the 4x objective lens because it provides the widest field of view, allowing you to locate the specimen easily. This lower magnification also offers a greater depth of field, making it easier to find and center the specimen before switching to higher magnifications. Additionally, starting with the 4x lens minimizes the risk of crashing the objective lens into the slide, which can damage both the slide and the lens.
When returning a microscope, the objective lens should be in the lowest position, typically the scanning objective, to prevent damage to the slide and lens. The stage should be lowered as well, ensuring it is at its lowest point to avoid any contact with the lens. This positioning helps protect both the microscope and any slides that may be on the stage.
The microscope stage should be in its lowest position to avoid damaging the objective lens when you first begin to focus on an object. Begin focusing with the coarse adjustment knob and then use the fine adjustment for finer focusing.

You should use the lowest value lens. It is the shortest one.

You should always begin using a microscope with the scanning objective lens because it provides the widest field of view, making it easier to locate your specimen. This lower magnification allows for a broader overview, which is essential for centering the sample before switching to higher magnifications. Additionally, using the scanning objective reduces the risk of crashing the lens into the slide, protecting both the specimen and the microscope.
The only objective lens that should be used with oil immersion is the 100x objective lens. This lens is designed to be used with immersion oil to improve resolution and clarity by reducing light refraction. Using oil with other objective lenses can damage them or lead to inaccurate observations.
The ocular is the upper lens and objective is the lower lens

Begin by using the lowest power objective lens and then switching to the next highest power lens.
so the objective lens will not touch the slide.

Because during movement of lens there is no slide below objective .
