    The document provides instructions for using a microscope. It states that one should always start with the lowest magnification objective when focusing a specimen. When using high power objectives, only the fine focus knob should be used. It also notes that the type of microscope commonly used in science classes is the compound microscope, and that microscopes should be carried by the arm and base. The objectives are attached to the nosepiece, which can be rotated to click lenses into place. The document gives an example of calculating total magnification, noting that a microscope with a 10x ocular and 50x objective would have a total magnification of 500x.

    Microscope Labeling

    Microscope Use:

    15. When focusing a specimen, you should always start with the LOWEST MAGNIFICATION objective.

    16. When using the high power objective, only the FINE FOCUS knob should be used.

    17. The type of microscope used in most science classes is the COMPOUND microscope.

    18. You should carry the microscope by the ARM and the BASE.
    19. The objectives are attached to what part of the microscope (it can be rotated to click lenses into place?)
    They are attached to the NOSE PIECE

    20. A microscope has an ocular objective of 10x and a high power objective of 50x, what is the microscope's
    total magnification? 50 x 10 = 500x total magnification
