Microscope Mr. Young Biology

Make sure all backpacks are out of the aisles before you get a microscope! Always carry the microscope with one hand on the Arm and one hand on the Base. Carry it close to your body.

Microscopes are expensive Remove the cover, plug the microscope in, and place the excess cord on the table! If you let the excess cord dangle over the edge, your knee could get caught on it, and the next sound you hear will be a very expensive crash. I will bill you later!

Close or cover 1 eye Place the slide on the microscope stage, with the specimen directly over the center of the glass circle on the stage (directly over the light). you have a 9 out of 10 chance of finding the specimen as soon as you look through the eyepiece! NOTE: If you wear glasses, take them off; if you see only your eyelashes, move closer.   Be sure to close, or cover your other eye!!

Low Power put the slide on the stage use the Coarse focus knob Always start and end with Low Power! put the slide on the stage use the Coarse focus knob

Focus using low power If, and ONLY if, you are on LOW POWER, lower the objective lens to the lowest point, then focus using first the coarse knob, then the fine focus knob. The specimen will be in focus when the LOW POWER objective is close to the lowest point,

Adjust the Diaphragm Adjust the Diaphragm as you look through the Eyepiece, and you will see that MORE detail is visible when you allow in LESS light!  Too much light will give the specimen a washed- out appearance. TRY IT OUT!!

Parts of a microscope

Magnification You can calculate the total magnification of an object by multiplying the magnification of the eyepiece lens by the magnification of the objective lens.     10 X            x              4X                =           40X magnification                 magnification                     total of eyepiece lens              of objective lens           magnification

Focus Knobs Once you have found the specimen on Low Power (100x), unless specifically asked to draw it on low power, center the specimen in your field of view, then, without changing the focus knobs, switch it to High Power. If you don’t center the specimen you will lose it when you switch to High Power

Do not use Coarse Objective Once you have it on High Power remember that you only use the fine focus knob! The High Power Objective is very close to the slide. Use of the coarse focus knob will scratch the lens, and crack the slide. More expensive sounds

Use Pencil only! Don’t even think of starting your drawing unless you have a PENCIL! Drawings in PEN are UNACCEPTABLE! This is for two reasons:         (a) You can erase pencil!         (b) You can shade in areas more easily in pencil.

Rules for Drawings Each Drawing must be 1/4 page in size, and must include clear, proper labels! On the top of each circle include the specimen name as written on the slide label. Next to the name, in parentheses, include the magnification (100x or 430x).

Labels Labels should start on the outside of the circle. The circle indicates the field of view as seen through the eyepiece. All arrows should end with the point touching the object to be labeled!

How To Make A Wet Mount: Gather a thin slice/piece of whatever your specimen is. If your specimen is too thick, then the coverslip will wobble on top of the sample like a see-saw:

One drop of water 2. Place ONE drop of water directly over the specimen. If you put too much water over the specimen, then the coverslip will float on top of the water, making it harder to draw the specimens as they float past the field of view!

Coverslip Place the coverslip at a 45 degree angle (approximately), with one edge touching the water drop, and let go

How To Stain a Slide: Place one drop of Methylene Blue or Iodine stain on one edge of the coverslip, and the flat edge of a piece of paper towel on the other edge of the coverslip. The paper towel will draw the water out from under the coverslip, and the cohesion of the water (will draw the stain under the coverslip.

Stain The stain does not need to be under the entire coverslip. As soon as the stain has covered the area containing the specimen you are finished. The stain does not need to be under the entire coverslip.

Extra Stain Be sure to wipe off the excess stain with a paper towel, so you don’t end up staining the objective lenses.

Slide on stage You are now ready to place the slide on the microscope stage. Be sure to follow all the instructions

Wash and dry slides When you have completed your drawings, be sure to wash and dry both the slide and the coverslip and return them to the correct places!

Put slides away All slides must be put away in the proper trays! Students will not leave until all materials have been put way properly. You are a team!
