Mold Growth Observation
1. Get some water, a paper plate and one piece of bread.
2. Place the bread on the plate and drop a little water on the bread to make it
damp (not soaked).
3. Place the bread in a cool dark location (such as a cupboard).
4. Observe the bread daily. Do not eat it.
Put the plate with the moldy bread under the microscope and notice the mold’s
interesting shape. Fungal spores exist all around us. These spores settle on the
bread and use the water and food from the bread to grow. Mold may have
different colors and shapes.

After focusing you can move the slide left or right on the stage to observe different
sections of the same specimen. As you adjust the slide or the aperture disc, be
careful not to put weight against the stage as this could push it out of focus. If this
occurs, simply readjust the focusing knobs slightly until you again have a clear
view.
After observing with the 4X objective (which shows you the image magnified
40X), rotate the nosepiece to the 10X objective lens (leave the slide in place on
the stage). SLOWLY turning the focusing knob will enable you to get a clear view
of your specimen at 100X magnification. Always use caution since the focusing
knob actually moves the stage closer to the objective lens.
