Why is it often necessary to use a cover slip when using the microscope?

Coverslip is not placed on a microscope but on the stained specimen on slide . This protects objective lens of microscope from getting stain from a wet mount . It also protects permanent slide .

Why inexperienced biolohist often have difficulties using a microscope to follow tiny organisims as they move about in a drop of pond water in a microscope slide?
inexperienced biologists often have difficulties using a microscope to follow tiny organisms as they move about in a drop of pond water in a microscope slide because first of all those biologist are inexperienced and do not know how to use the microscope correctly to follow that organism in the pond water
Is the microscope considered as technology?
It depends on what kind of microscope you're using.
What is the function of the base of the microscope?
The function of the base of the microscope is to provide support to the microscope. The base is important when one is using the microscope or carrying it.
How do you prepare a wet mount slide for the microscope?
Take a clean slide (either depressed or flat) and add a drop of water using an eye dropper. Add the specimen and using the slip cover, touch the end of the slip cover to the water. Lay flat as smoothly as possible to omit bubbles from forming.
Why do you need a drop of water to prepare slides when using microscope?
Because an air bubble, trapped between the slide and cover plate, shows as a dark'blob' under magnification. Using a drop of water to 'seal' the slide & cover plate together excludes the air - making the specimen more visible to the user.
What precautions must be taken when using the high power lens microscope?
Don't break the cover or the glass.
Why do inexperienced biologists often have difficulties using a microscope to follow tiny organisms as they move about in a drop of pond water on a microscope slide?
In experienced Biologist often have difficulties using a microscope to follow ting oraganisms as they move about in a drop of pond of water on a microscope because the hardly have used mycroscopes in their early life or in schools and colledges and univercities .
Why is the light necessary when using a microscope?
The light is necessary when you are using a microscope because if you don't have the light turned on, then the object or specimen you would like to examine won't be showing up. The light makes you have the capabiltiy to see what your object looks like under the microscope, and if your light isn't being used, then you will not see your object, probably only darkness!!! (Hope this helped)

Why it is necessary to be able to focus on different depths on the microscope?
Each depth will show different parts of whatever you are looking at on the microscope. The focus improves when using the right depth and magnification.
Why cover glass is very important in microscopic examination?
Without a glass cover when using a microscope problems may occur. If you breathe too heavily you could blow away what you're examining, or when you're adjusting the height of the microscope you could crash the bottom lens into the stage and ruin the microscope slide and whatever you're examining.
Microscope using two lenses?
compound microscope
What is the smallest thing you can see using a microscope?
Bacteria is the smallest thing that can be seen using a microscope.
What is to mount a slide?
A wet mount slide is when a solution is applied to a microscope slide with whatever subject is being studied, typically under a slip cover.
Can you give us a project about microscope?
investigatory project using microscope
Viruses can be observed using an?
microscope or for more detail an electron microscope
