VIewIng a SpecIMen
Carefully place a specimen slide under the stage clips and center the
specimen. Images will be observed upside down and reversed right to
left, with practice centering objects will become easier to accomplish.
Prepared slides, blank slides and tools are included with your microscope
40x
to get you started (see images below).
400x
You are now ready to focus and view a specimen. Be careful not to damage a
640x
specimen slide or valuable object. When using higher powers while focusing,
make sure the objective lens does not hit the slide or object being viewed.
focuSIng & changIng power (MagnIfIcatIon)
Place specimen slide (or object) directly under the objective lens and use
the focus knob to focus on the specimen. For smaller objects, place on a
flat material for easier viewing.
1. Always start with lowest power (4x objective lens and WF 10x eyepiece).
This objective lens and eyepiece combination will yield 40x – the lowest
but most useful power for viewing large or small solid objects.
2. For higher powers, rotate the nosepiece to change the objective lens to
10x or 40x. Hold the microscope above the nosepiece with one hand
and rotate the nosepiece with the other hand until it clicks in position.
Be cautious not to let the objective lens touch the specimen slide or
object when changing to higher powers. Note: You should first turn the
focus knob to lower the stage.
3. You can replace the WF 10x eyepiece with the WF 16x eyepiece to
obtain three additional magnifications, including the highest power
possible (640x).
