core practical- microscopes

Question 1

CP1- place slide on microscope: place slide on stage, adjust coarse focus until lens just touches slide

Answer 1

CP1- prepare slide- collects cells you are studying+ place them on a slide, place a drop of dye+ cover with slip
CP1- select lens- choose between 4x, 10x, 40x objective lense
CP1- record image- draw what’s seen, label cells, repeat with different objective lenses
CP1- results- as magnification increases on objective lens, cell appears larger+ detailed
