This would depend on the type of slide and type of microscope; however, typically you turn on your light source (either electric or sometimes a mirror to reflect the ambient light), switch your magnification to the lowest power (usually scanning at 4X) place the slide on the stand and hold it with two clips, adjust the height of the stand with the gross adjustment knob (larger) until the image comes into view, then use the fine adjustment knob to focus the image. You can then change magnification power as high as your microscope will go. Note: If your microscope has a 1000X oil immersion setting, make sure to follow the instructions for oil immersion or you can damage your lense. Also, once you get past the 10X, only use the fine adjustment knob or you can damage the lense.
What else can I help you with?
What do you put cells on in a microscope?
Cells are typically placed on a glass slide before being viewed under a microscope. The glass slide provides a stable and transparent surface for the cells to be observed. A cover slip is often placed on top of the cells to protect them and to help focus the microscope's lenses on the sample.
What is an Henrici slide?
A Henrici slide is a specialized microscope slide used in microbiology to examine and identify fungi. It consists of a thin layer of agar on a glass slide, which allows fungi to be cultured and observed under the microscope. It is named after the Swiss mycologist, Hanns Hofmann Henrici.
What is the name of the microscope slide with the dip in it?
The name of the microscope slide with the dip in it is the hanging drop slide. The dip is a special concave, depression, in the center of the slide.
Robert observed cells under a microscope were they living or nonliving?
Nonliving
What does a mirror do on a compound light microscope?
A mirror on a compound light microscope reflects light from an external source, such as a lamp or sunlight, onto the specimen being observed. This helps to illuminate the specimen and improve visibility for better observation and analysis under the microscope.
Why does a microscope slide have to be transparent?
A transparent microscope slide allows light to pass through the specimen, enabling clear visibility and magnification. This transparency is essential for producing a detailed image that can be observed under the microscope.
What is the part of the microscope that is being viewed?
The part of the microscope that is being viewed is the specimen or sample that is placed on the slide. This is the object that is magnified and observed under the microscope.
What do you put cells on in a microscope?

What is the part of the microscope which you put under the slide?
The part of the microscope that you put under the slide is called the objective lens. This lens is responsible for magnifying the specimen on the slide for viewing.
How specimen is viewed under the microscope?
A specimen is placed on a glass slide and covered with a coverslip. The slide is placed on the stage of the microscope and viewed through the lens system. The image can be observed and magnified through the eyepiece or projected onto a screen for easier viewing.
What is the name of the part of the microscope where you set the slide?
The stage is the part of the microscope where you place the slide for viewing. You can adjust the position of the slide on the stage to examine different areas under the microscope.
What can be observed under the microscope when examining an onion root tip slide?
When examining an onion root tip slide under a microscope, you can observe the different stages of cell division, such as interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. This allows you to study the process of mitosis and observe the structure and arrangement of the cells in the root tip.
What is the name of the part which holds the slide in place on a microscope?
The part that holds the slide in place on a microscope is called the stage. The stage is where you place your sample slide for viewing under the lens of the microscope.
What did Robert hooke observed?
Cells under microscope.
What is the object called that is placed under a microscope?
A slide
What part of the microscope holds the slide?
The stage holds the slide in place on a microscope. It is the platform where the slide is placed for viewing under the objective lenses.
