Which device should we use to look at the specimen on the left? Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
The microscope on the right is a compound light microscope and is used for very small specimens that light can pass through. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
It looks at things in which light cannot pass through (e.g. a bumble bee) Lets you see the image in 3D Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
It lets you magnify images that light can pass through. Uses a glass slide and cover slip. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
You do not put large objects under a light microscope such a rock, pencil, finger, etc. ! Specimens need to be incredibly thin and light must pass through. Uses Slides! Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
It can magnify specimens much smaller than a light, or stereoscope It doesn’t usually view live cells or specimens Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

When carrying a microscope, carry it by the arm, and have one hand under the base. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
Watch out for cords that hang off of the table waiting to be stepped on and pulling the microscope to the ground. Wrap the cord around arm for storage.
Always lower the stage after use so the gears are not strained. – Remove any slide as well. – The finely tuned gears are what make microscopes expensive. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
Remember dust cover for proper storage. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Create three circles using a Petri-dish. Label the circles, low, medium and high power Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
To focus the microscope… place the slide under the stage clips and adjust the diaphragm so light passes through. o Turn revolving nose piece to the low power lens. High Power Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
To focus the microscope… image comes into focus. With the low power lens, gently turn the coarse focus until the image comes into focus. o Once in focus, you can now use the revolving nosepiece to move the medium power lens into position.
