How Do I Observe The Specimen?

Flip over the appropriate illumination source. Position the object or specimen in the

middle of the stage under the stage clips, centered over or the light source. Focus the

image by rotating the focus wheel until a clear image appears in the eyepiece.

Place the prepared slide or specimen directly under the objective lens on the

microscope stage. Secure all slides with the stage clips. The specimen should be

located directly over the appropriate illumination source. Look through the eyepiece

and carefully turn the focus wheel until the image appears clear and sharp.

For transparent objects (e.g. sea salt), light is projected by the lower light traveling

from below the stage, through the objective and eyepiece, and finally into your eye. This

process of light transmission is known as microscopy. Some specimens will need to

be prepared for viewing. You can read more about creating specimens in the enclosed

microscope experiments booklet.
