• Magnification – making the object bigger
• Resolution – how clearly you can see the object

“Light” because we use light to see the images
“Compound” because it uses two lenses to view a specimen.

• Always carry with 2 hands - by the arm and the base.
• Only use lens paper for cleaning and don’t touch the lenses to anything (including your fingers.)
• Always store covered• Don’t let cords hang where the
microscope could be pulled off the table.
• Ocular lens X Objective lens
• If the ocular lens is 10X and the objective lens is 5X, the total magnification would be:
• Place the Slide on the Microscope• Use stage clips only when you are sure
you don’t want to move the slide around.
• Click Nosepiece to the lowest (shortest) setting
• Start with the objective closest to the specimen.
• Use the Coarse Focus to move objective AWAY from specimen.
• Have focused on low power.
• Click the nosepiece to the next biggest objective.
• Do NOT use the Coarse Focusing Knob
Use the fine focus knob to bring the slide
• Do NOT force any knobs. They should all move easily.
• Do NOT turn the fine focus more than a full turn. Start over on low power if you have to.
