When changing slides, move the stage to its lowest position, lift the
clips to remove and replace slides and begin observing with the 4X
objective again.

Turn on the overhead illuminator to shine light onto the stage.
As with the compound microscope, always begin your observation
with the 4X objective and increase magnification accordingly.
Note: Only the 4X and 10X objectives may be used when viewing
solid specimens. The 40X lens is not suitable for use with the upper
lighting due to the focusing distance required. The lens must be too
close to the specimen and does not allow any light to reach the
specimen.
For contrast, you may find it necessary to place certain specimens
on an index card or small piece of paper before centering them on
the stage. Since you are using the upper light, it is not necessary for
the opening in the stage to be exposed for the lower light to shine
through. Also, you do not want your specimen to fall through the
hole!
This application can allow you to magnify countless everyday
items: for examples, small rocks, leaves, insects, flower petals,
coins, stamps, jewelry and more.
Focusing Tips You will notice that with a three dimensional
specimen, for example, a small insect, you will have different levels
to focus on; therefore the entire image may not seem clear at the
same time. Compare to a flat field, such as a postage stamp, where
the specimen is all at the same level which allows the microscope to
focus on the entire field.
With a little practice, you can soon become an expert at observing
all types of specimens with My First Lab
