IV. PROCEDURE

A. ELICIT What are the parts of the microscope and how does each part function?
 The students will be asked to describe the picture. They will be
B. ENGAGE informed that it is not easy to view specimens in a microscope and
there are proper steps to be followed in focusing the specimens.

 Do the activity Part 2 in LM pp 87-88 “Making a Wet Mount and

C. EXPLORE Observing Specimens”
 Procedure
Making a Wet mount
1. Cut out a small letter “e” from a newspaper page.
2. Using forceps or tweezers place it in the center of a glass slide in
an upright position
3. Add a drop of tap water over the cut letter
4. Position the cover slip at 45˚ with one side touching one edge of
the water on the slide.
5. Slowly lower the other edge of the cover slip until it rests on the
water and the printed letter.
6. If bubbles become present (the perfect circles you see on your
preparation), remove or minimize it by gently tapping the cover slip
with the eraser-end of a pencil. Make the bubble move towards the
edge of the cover slip.
Observing Specimens
1. Put the slide on the stage. Make sure that the letter is in the
center of the hole in the stage and under the LPO.
 2. Watching from the side, carefully lower the body tube until the end
of the LPO almost touches the cover slip.
3. Look through the eyepiece. Slowly turn the coarse adjustment
upwards to raise the objective until the letter “e” appears. Continue
until you see the letter clearly. This would indicate that you have
focused it already.
4. Hold it firmly with the stage clips.
5. Look through the microscope again. Slowly move the slide to the
right, then to the left.
6. Move the slide to the center. To shift to the HPO, raise the body
tube first. Looking from the side, turn the revolving nosepiece to put
the HPO in place. Then, using the fine adjustment slowly lower the
objective till it almost touches the cover slip. Looking through the
eyepiece, turn the fine adjustment until you see the clearest image.
7. Look through the eyepiece again. Then, shift to the LPO, and
scanner carefully observing the image of the letter.
