This picture shows that the microscope:

• only flips images upside down

• only flips images over backwards

• flips the image upside down and backwards

• doesn't flip the image at all

Item #8, the bottom one on the left side, is pointing to the:

• diaphragm

• light source

• stage

• base

When properly carrying a mocroscope you should have hands on:

• the stage and arm

• the base and the arm

• the body tube and the base

• the eyepiece and the stage

While moving the slide to the left while looking through the eyepiece it appears to be moving:

• to the left

• up

• down

• to the right

The best way to avoid air bubbles when making a wet mount slide is to:

• drop the cover slip on at an angle

• drop the cover slip on flat

• squeeze the slide and cover slip after it is on

• tap on the cover slip once it is in place

If you can no longer see the specimen when you get to high power you should:

• use the coarse adjustment knob to help you focus

• lower the stage, move the slide and go back to using high power

• go back to low or medium power and begin again

• lower the stage, move the slide around and then go back to high and use the coarse adjusment knob to focus

What can you do to help shine more light on the specimen you are abserving?

• use a higher power

• adjust the diaphragm

• use direct sunlight

• shine a flashlight on it

What should you never do when using the microscope?

• swing it around while carrying it

• use the coarse adjustment on high power

• place it right next to the edge of the table

• all of these

To ensure that you are able to view your specimen you should:

• make sure the light is turned on

• make sure the objective lense is clicked into place

• make sure the diaphragm is clicked into place

• make sure you have it clearly focused

• all of these
