Topic: Practice the proper use of a microscope
Topic: Practice the proper use of a microscope
- See the attached diagram below of a typical microscope
- Read the information at www.microscope-microscope.org/basic/how-to-use-a-microscope.htm
- When using a microscope, keep the following in mind:
- Always carry the microscope with two hands
- When changing lenses for higher magnification, turn the nosepiece - NEVER grab and turn the lenses themselves
- Start with the stage all the way up, and start on the shortest lens (4)
- Use the COARSE FOCUS knob to focus
- Then use the FINE FOCUS knob to focus better
- Once you change to a higher lens, DO NOT touch the coarse focus knob!! Use only the fine focus knob on higher lenses
- The ocular lenses (the ones you look through) already magnify your specimen by 10x. So to calculate the total magnification, you must multiply the magnification of the objective lens you are using (4, 10, 40, or 100) by 10. Example: if you are using the 40 lens, the total magnification is 40 x 10 = 400x
- When putting the microscope away, you must a) turn off the light, b) return to the smallest lens, c) move the stage down to its lowest position, d) tie the cord up (never wrap it around the microscope)
