d) Tweezers – The tweezers are like little pinchers. They are used to pick up small samples and to handle samples that you don’t want to touch with your hands – like slimy mold! e) Collecting vials – These are little plastic bottles with tight-fitting lids. They are used to carry your samples from the place you collected them to the place you have your microscope set up.

Parts of Your Microscope: A. Eyepiece – The eyepiece is where you look into the microscope. It is a small magnifying lens that collects the image projected by the objective lens. B. Body tube – This is the main tube of the microscope. The image from the sample travels up this tube to the eyepiece.

Helpful Hints 1) The most important parts of your microscope are the lenses. Handle them with care. If the lenses are dirty or dusty you can clean them with a soft cotton cloth or a special lens-cleaning tissue. Do not wipe them with a finger or a regular facial tissue. 2) Always store your microscope in its protective storage case.

4) Choose one of the prepared sample slides from your set. Place it under the two spring clips on top of the stage. 5) Next, choose the magnifying power you want to use. Your microscope can provide magnifying powers of 300X, 600X, and 1,200X. Remember that the longer objective lenses provide the higher powers.

Always be careful when using the dyes as they can stain clothing, furniture, or carpets. Making a Temporary Slide A) Start with a clean blank slide. Clean slides are important. If your slide is dusty or dirty, you should clean it with a soft cloth, so that you do not also magnify dirt or dust along with the sample you want to view.

History of the Microscope During the late Middle Ages (around . 1200 to 1450), the growing demand for eyeglasses led to experimentation with lenses and making small things appear larger. As a result of this experimentation, the first microscope was created (probably in Holland in the late 16th century—the Dutch were masters at the craft of magnification).
