VIEWING A SPECIMEN
Carefully place a specimen slide under the
stage clips (5) and center the specimen.
Images will be observed upside down and
reversed right to left. Prepared slides are
included with your microscope to help you
get started.
You are now ready to focus and view a
specimen. Be careful not to damage the
specimen slide.. When using higher powers
while focusing, make sure the objective lens
(4) does not hit the slide or object being
viewed.
FOCUSING AND CHANGING
POWER (MAGNIFICATION)
1. Always start with lowest power (4x
objective lens and WF 10x eyepiece). This
combination yields the lowest power.
2. Place a specimen slide (or object) on
the stage (6) directly under the objective
lens (4). Gradually turn the focus knob
(11) until the specimen is in focus.
