HOW TO USE A MICROSCOPE?

There are a few tips to follow for safely using a microscope.

1. When using microscope slides, be sure to place a cover slip over your sample. This
will flatten your sample, which is necessary when using a compound microscope. The
cover slip will also contain fluid within your well depression slide and prevent spills
on the microscope stage.
2. When you begin using the biological compound microscope, always begin with the 4x
objective lens (the lowest magnification). This will allow you to focus on your sample
and help prevent you from smashing your objective lens into the stage. Move up one
objective at a time, refocusing each time to get higher magnification. When you are
finished using the microscope, always return the 4x (lowest and smallest) objective
lens into position for the next user.
3. Never use force when focusing the microscope. If the focus knob is tight and will not
rotate it is because it is locked, the tension needs to be adjusted, or it is running into
an objective lens.
4. When you first look through the microscope, you may need to adjust the rheostat light
control or the condenser to get a more crisp and sharp image.
5. If you are using a digital microscope and can not see an image in the camera, you may
need to engage the beam splitter to direct light to the camera.
