Why should you never lower the body tube of a microscope while looking through the eyepiece?
As I learned the hard way if you are adjusting the body of the scope while looking through the lens it is very easy to exceed the pressure threshold of a plate and crack it, destroying your sample and all your hard work. Move the slide and scope into place then look through the lens for fine adjustments.

To observe a skin cell through a microscope at highest magnification you should first?
To observe a skin cell at the highest magnification through a microscope, you should first place the skin cell slide on the microscope stage, focus the microscope using the coarse and fine focus knobs, adjust the light intensity, and then increase the magnification to the highest level possible on the microscope objective.
What are the the two most important parts of the microscope?
Light adjustment knob: It allows you to adjust the light where you can see the specimen, and set it so that you can comfortably use the microscope without straining your eyes. If the knob was broken and the light was too bright, you should not want to use it. Many people don't worry with it and put their light at maximum causing them eyestrain or headaches after some time.And the lenses are also important.
When observing a slide should the specimen be on the top or bottom surface of the microscope?
The specimen should be placed on the top surface of the microscope slide. This allows the light to pass through the specimen from below and be magnified by the lenses in the microscope to form an image for observation.
What you want to look at under a microscope is put one of these?
A slide.
Why should oil not touch the lens of a microscope?
You can see the oil when you look through the eyepiece.
What should be done when you are done with a microscope?
Remove your eyes from the eyepiece of the microscope.
Why stage of microscope should not be raised while you are looking through eye piece?
Raising the stage of a microscope while looking through the eyepiece can lead to accidental contact between the objective lens and the slide, potentially damaging both the lens and the specimen. Additionally, it can cause a sudden change in focus, which may strain your eyes or disrupt your observation. Maintaining a steady position ensures a clear view and protects the integrity of the equipment.
Why should a diffused light be used to see a object through a microscope?
So that you are looking at the details of the object and not the light.

Why should you watch from the slide before you lower the objectives of your microscope?
Movements viewed through the microscope are exaggerated quite a bit. As such, it's best to attempt to line up the object on the slide by looking at the slide directly, rather than through the objective.
What should you adjust in microscope if you keep seeing your eyelashs when you try to view an image?
You should adjust the distance between the objective lens and the specimen. Try increasing the distance slightly to avoid seeing your eyelashes. Additionally, check that your eyes are properly aligned with the eyepiece to prevent any obstruction in the field of view.
How should you carry a miscroscope?
To carry a microscope safely, always use both hands: one hand should grasp the arm of the microscope, while the other supports the base. Keep the microscope close to your body to maintain balance and prevent it from tipping. Avoid holding it by any of the optical components, such as the eyepiece or objectives, as this can cause damage. Always ensure that the microscope is powered off and that any moving parts are secured before transporting.
Where should you be looking when you change objective lenses?
When changing objective lenses on a microscope, you should look at the specimen through the eyepiece rather than directly at the objective lenses. This allows you to ensure proper alignment and focus without risking damage to the slide or the lenses. It's also important to start with the lowest power objective to locate the specimen before switching to higher magnifications. Always handle the lenses carefully to avoid any misalignment or scratches.
How do you clean microscopes?
Make sure that you only clean your microscope lenses when they are dirty and use the proper materials! If your objective lenses are dirty, you can remove build-up with lens paper dipped in a very weak ammonia solution. Place one eye dropper full of household ammonia in 1/2 cup of water. If you have any sticky substances on your objectives such as balsam, oily materials or paraffin, this should be removed with xylol. To clean microscope eyepiece lenses, breathe condensation onto them and then wipe them with lens tissue. Kim-wipes are made by Kleenex and generally will work well. For stubborn spots, wipe the surface with tissue moistened with 95% alcohol. Wipe the lens dry with a dry tissue. If you see black specks when you look through the microscope, turn the eyepiece lens to see if the specks also turn. If so, the dust is on either the inside or outside eyepiece lens. Clean the eyepiece lens with lens tissue. If the spots remain, remove the eyepiece lens and brush the inside of the eyepiece lens with a camel hair brush or lens paper. DO NOT USE cloth, ordinary paper or fingers! Make sure that you use only special lens cleaning tissues! Periodically inspect the power cords and plugs for safety and have a supply of replacement bulbs available. Professional cleaning and adjusting should be performed whenever necessary at an optical shop specializing in microscopes. Usually the microscope manufacturer can recommend a qualified professional that services their microscopes and will not alter the warranty. When microscopes are not in use, they should be covered with plastic and stored in a safe area where they won't get knocked over or stolen. Keeping a clean microscope will ensure that you will get many years of quality use out of your microscope!
