What are the steps of how to focus a microscope from 4x to 40x?

To focus a microscope from 4x to 40x, start by using the 4x objective lens. Position the slide on the stage and use the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen into view, adjusting the light as needed. Once focused, switch to the 10x objective lens, using the fine focus knob to sharpen the image. Finally, switch to the 40x lens, again using the fine focus knob for optimal clarity, ensuring not to use the coarse knob at this magnification to prevent damage to the slide or lens.


What objective must be in place when you remove a slide or place a new slide on the stage of your scope 4x 40x or 10x?

When removing or placing a new slide on the stage of a microscope at 4x, 10x, or 40x magnification, the objective should be set to the lowest power (usually 4x) to ensure proper clearance and avoid damaging the slide or the objective lens. This allows for easier positioning of the slide and prevents potential collisions between the slide and the lens. Once the slide is securely in place, you can then switch to a higher magnification for detailed observation.

What is the lens that is closest to the eye in a light microscope?

On a microscope with the usual 3-lens turret it is usual to use the objective lens with the lowest magnification to first examine your specimen. This gives a wider overall view of the subject, and will allow you to choose the particular detail that best suits your study. You may then move on to a higher magnification, if necessary, to study finer detail. If you started with the highest magnification, your fine focus will be uncertain, and you risk the front of the objective lens coming into contact with the sample slide. This could damage your specimen, and may damage the front of the lens.


Which objective focuses closest to the slide when it is in focus?

The objective lens that focuses closest to the slide is 100x, it has the longest lens so the highest power. Be careful not to crack the slide and make sure you use oil if it is an oil immersion lens.


What is the part of the microscope on which you put the slide?

The part of the microscope is called the stage. It is located under the objective lens and holds the stage clips.
