You should start with the lowest magnification lens, typically the scanning lens (4x or 5x), to locate and center the specimen on the slide. This allows you to get a general overview of the slide before increasing the magnification with higher-power objectives.
Centering the specimen before increasing magnification ensures that the area of interest remains in the field of view. As magnification increases, the field of view decreases, making it harder to locate and focus on the specimen if it is not centered. Centering the specimen first helps maintain visibility and focus when switching to higher magnifications.
To switch between magnifications on a microscope and keep the same object in view, first center the object in your field of view at the lower magnification. Then, without moving the slide or stage, rotate the nosepiece to change to the desired higher magnification. The object should remain centered in your field of view at the new magnification. Adjust the focus as needed.
You start with the lowest magnification. Once you have found the specimen and focused it, you can move it to the next higher magnification. It should still be in focus, although you might need to use the fine adjustment.
The lowest power objective lens should be in place when placing a slide on a microscope stage. This allows for easier focusing and initial viewing of the specimen at a lower magnification before switching to higher magnifications.
With higher magnification you can observe bigger.To see clearly resolution also should be high.
Increasing magnification changes the field of view, depth of field and amount of detail seen.
You should be watching the objective lens move into place to make sure that it is not going to hit the slide.

When viewing a specimen under the microscope, you should always start with the lowest magnification objective lens. This allows you to locate and focus on the specimen before moving to higher magnifications for a closer look.

For viewing contrails, a pair of binoculars with 8x to 10x magnification should be sufficient. Higher magnification may require steadier hands to prevent image shake. Look for binoculars with a wide field of view to easily track the moving planes.
The high power objective should be used when you need to examine smaller details or structures in a specimen at higher magnification. It provides a higher magnification level compared to the low power objective, allowing you to see finer details.
