    When using high magnification objectives, raise the objective all the way up by rotating the coarse focusing knob and enable the coarse focusing lock knob. After that, focus on the specimen using the fine focusing knob. Adjust the coarse focusing tension. The tension of the coarse focusing knob is adjustable and is preset by the manufacturer for convenient use.
  • Page 17: Calculating The Total Magnification

    CALCU LATI N G T HE TOTAL M AGN IF I CAT I ON The total magnification is the eyepiece power multiplied by the objective power. For example, if the eyepiece is 10х/22mm, and the objective is 40х/0.60, the total magnification of the microscope is 10х40 = 400х.
