Illustrate and describe what
you saw.
When observing specimen
using compound microscope,
the actual image (virtual
image) of the specimen you
are observing is enlarged
several times by the combined
magnifying power of lenses in
the ocular and the objective.
In this activity you will
compute for the magnifying
power of the microscope using
LPO, HPO and OIO.
Formula: ocular x objective=
total magnification
Example: using LPO get the

You have just familiarized
yourself with the light
microscope, its parts and their
functions. Similarly, you have
practiced using it.
Every after use of the
microscope, here
are steps to follow in
preparing it for storage:
1. Turn the revolving
nosepiece until the LPO is in
place.
2. Lower down the body tube
so that the end of the
objective is approximately 1
cm above the stage.
3. Position the clips so that
they do not extend beyond the
sides of the stage.
4. Rotate the diaphragm until
the smallest opening is in
position.
5. Let the mirror stand on its
edge with the concave side
facing the user to protect it
from dust.

the eyepiece from the body
tube and place it in the socket.
7. Put back the microscope’s
plastic cover. If the original
plastic cover has been lost or
destroyed, use any clean
plastic bag big enough to
cover the microscope.
8. Carry the microscope as
described in Step 1 of
Procedure A. Put it back in its
case or storage cabinet or
return it to your teacher.
Knowledge about objects and
organisms revealed by the
microscope is of great value
not only to students like you
but also to everyone who
wish to study and understand
life. It is but important for
you to know how to take care
of this tool for an efficient
and longer use. Here are some
practices to achieve this:
1. Check the microscope
before and after use. Report
any missing or damaged part
to your teacher.
2. Use a clean tissue paper,
soft cloth like old t-shirt to
clean the mechanical parts of
the microscope.
3. Prevent liquids, especially
acids and alcohol from
sitting down, why it is not
recommended to tilt when
using wet mount?
Prepare at Home, Observe at
School
Prepare a wet mount
1. Cut out a small letter “e”
from a newspaper page.
Using forceps or tweezers
place it in the center of a
glass slide in an upright
position.
Q. Describe your specimen.
Explain why you are using
this kind of material.
2. Add a drop of tap water
over the specimen. It will act
as a mounting medium and
make clear the image of the
specimen. Position the cover
slip at 45° with one side
touching one edge of the
water on the slide.
3. Slowly lower the other
edge of the cover slip until it
rests on the water and the
printed letter. Bubbles are
perfect circles you see on
your preparation. Remove or
minimize trapped bubbles 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
 spilling on any part of the
microscope. Always use a
cover slip in observing wet
mounts.
4. Check for moisture (such
as from condensation of
human breath) in the
eyepiece. This may happen
due to prolonged observation
of specimens. Wipe with lens
paper.
5. Avoid tilting the
microscope while observing
wet mounts. Water might
flow into the mechanical parts
of the microscope causing
them to rust. Select a chair
with suitable height so that
both forearms can be rested
on the table during
observation.
6. Never store the
microscopes in a chemical
laboratory or any place where
there are corrosive fumes.
Make sure there are silica get
packs inside microscope
boxes or storage cabinet to
absorb moisture.
The microscope has become
an important investigative
tool in studying objects and
organisms around you.
Knowing its parts as well as
proper manipulation and care
will make your study of
science effective, interesting
and more meaningful.
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.
Hold it firmly with the stage
clips.
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.
Q. Describe the position of
the letter as seen under the
microscope.
Q. Compare the image of the
letter that you see using your
unaided eye with what you
see through the microscope.
4. Look through the
microscope again. Slowly
move the slide to the right,
then to the left.
Q. To which direction does
the image move?
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.

Q. Why do you have to watch

from the side when changing
objectives?

Q. Why should the fine

adjustment knob be used only
with the HPO?

Current microscope models

are said to be par focal. This
means the image in clear
focus under the low power
objective, remains focused
after shifting to HPO. If the
microscope you are using is
not parfocal, slightly turn the
fine adjustment knob in either
direction to get a clear
picture.

5. Look through the eyepiece

again. Then, shift to the LPO,
and scanner carefully
observing the image of the
letter.

Q. In which objective/s can

you see the whole letter ”e”?

Q. What are the advantages of

using the HPO? the
disadvantages?

Q. In which objective is the
