how to work a microscope

The bottom two pictures are on some different thigs you can see by using a microscope,the top one is a onion leaf,and the picture just below it is a microscope(operating instructions below).





step 1: make sure you have ALL your equipment ...okay? good!:)


step 2: turn on the light using the light switch located on the bottom portion of your microscope,adjust the brightness using the brightness adaptor, and adjust the focus of the beam(that's the light shining through the bottom).

step 2b:lower stage to lowest point


step 3: place specimen under microscope and secure with stage clips(what's that?...no, of course it's not going to run away!why would you say that?...HUH? AAAAAH!OMG!!!![eheh, psyche]...)


step3b:use XYcontrols to adjust specimen over light in center of stage

step 4: switch objectives to lowest power magnification


step 5: adjust oculars

step 6: look through oculars and raise specimen slowly so that specimen is seen in views

step 7: use fine focus to view (adjusting light at this time is also suggested as the view may be too bright:D)

and that's all for today folks!
