How to Use and Focus Your Microscope:
BIOL-112: Lab 1 – Microscope & Cells
Access the following link and follow the instructions below to practice using the microscope with everything you just learned in this section:
Virtual Microscope Experiment
1.
Turn on the light on the microscope and set it up to 10
2.
Select the slide with the letter “e”
. 3.
Place the 4X objective lens
4.
Center and position your specimen by using the stage controls
5.
Switch views at this point
6.
Adjust the ocular lens
7.
Locate your specimen using the coarse adjustment knob.
8.
Adjust the iris diaphragm
9.
Center your image and move to the next objective lens (10X).
10.
Use the fine adjustment knob to adjust the focus. 11.
Move to the high-power lens (40X) and use the fine adjustment knob and the iris diaphragm as needed. 12.
Repeat using the onion root tip
and cheek cells
slides. Watch the videos about how to use a microscope, provided in this module. Answer the following questions after you are done practicing:
1.
What is the first step you must complete in order to observe a specimen?
First step is to place a glass cover on the specimen. 2.
Why do we must always start with the 4X objective lens? What is its function? We use the 4x objective lens because it’s the lowest magnification, and by starting with the lowest magnification, we can spot and focus on the specimen. 3.
What happens when you move the slide to the left? What happens when you move it to the right? What happens when you move the slide to up? What happens when you move it down? Why does this happens?
When the slide moves left, the image will move right, and if the slide is moved right, the image
will move left. If the slide moves up, the image moves down, and if the slide moves down, the image will move up. 4.
Why do we adjust the iris diaphragm? What will be the result of doing so?
We adjust the iris diaphragm to control the amount of light that is exposed on the specimen. The result is we see the specimen better. 5.
Why do you have to adjust the focus using the fine adjustment knob when moving higher in objective lens? Why do you had to adjust the iris diaphragm as well? When moving higher in the objective lens, you must adjust the focus because the specimen will not be
shown correctly. You must also adjust the diaphragm because the light needs to be readjusted.

:
Total Magnification, Diameter of Field, Working Distance, and Depth of Field
What is the equation used to calculate total magnification
when using a microscope?
Complete the following chart by calculating the missing lens or total magnification:
Total Magnification
Ocular (eyepiece) Magnification
Lens Magnification
80X
5X
400X
4X
10X
40X
10X
10X
100X
500X
10X
50X
Knowing the diameter of field can help you estimate the size of objects you are viewing. For the next experiment, you are going to use a plastic ruler to measure the diameter of the field of view
.
Assume the following for this experiment: o
You positioned the plastic ruler so one 1mm mark was on the edge of the left side of the
field. o
You will consider the thickness of the ruler markings, meaning that the distance from the left edge of one mark to the left edge of the next mark is 1 mm.
Below you will observe how the plastic ruler looks in the field of view of the different magnifications.
Measure the diameter of field by counting how many lines fit in the field of view presented.
Indicate the number of lines you counted below each field of view. o
This will be the diameter of that field of view.

Total Magnification:
BIOL-112: Lab 1 – Microscope & Cells
# of ruler lines:
____5 mm
____2.5 mm
___0.5 mm
What is the relationship that exists between magnification and field of view?
As the magnification increases, the field of view decreases.
In other words, a specimen is viewed through a microscope under high magnification. The image
will have a_______
narrow
______________ (narrow/wide) field of view.
Next, you noticed that the distance from the end of the objective
lens to the slide when it is in focus, also known as the working
distance
, changed with each objective lens. In the next experiment,
you measured the working distance for each magnification and
obtained the following results:
4X = 25 mm
10X = 8.5 mm
100 X = 0.5 mm
What is the relationship that exists between magnification
and working distance?
When increasing the magnification, you must move closer to the specimen. Finally, you are about to observe a slide with crossed color threads
under the microscope to better understand the concept of the depth of field
, which refers to the thickness of the specimen that is in focus at any one time. You noticed that at 4X, you are able to see the
three threads as a sharp image. However, when you move to use the 10X objective lens, you can only see 2 in focus, and when you move to the 40X objective lens, you can now only see one thread in focus. Click on the link here to observe the video of the experiment
Depth of Field Experiment
What can you conclude about from these results?
o
Does all objective lenses have the same depth of field? Why yes or why not?
No, not all objective lenses have the same depth of field because, once the magnification increases, the depth of focus also decreases.
What is the relationship that exists between magnification and depth of field?
When magnification increases, the depth of field decreases. Use the following table to summarize your results from this part:
Objective Magnification:
Total Magnification
Diameter of Field
Working Distance
Depth of Field

4) Answer true or false to each of the following statements.
On high power, you should use the coarse
adjustment knob.
The diaphragm determines how much light shines on
the specimen.
The low power objective has a greater magnification
than the scanning objective.
The fine focus knob visibly moves the stage up and
down.
Images viewed in the microscope will appear upside
down.
If a slide is thick, only parts of the specimen may
come into focus.
The type of microscope you are using is a scanning
microscope.
For viewing, microscope slides should be placed on
the objective.
In order to switch from low to high power, you must
rotate the revolving nosepiece.
The total magnification of a microscope is
determined by adding the ocular lens power to the
objective lens power.

PART C: CALCULATING THE DIAMETER OF THE FIELD OF VIEW (FOV)_
The field of view (FOV) is the circular area you can see when you look through the microscope. The
diameter of the field of view is different depending on which objective lens you are using. For example,
you are using the medium-power objective lens, then the area you can see is actually smaller than if you
were using the low-power objective lens. Knowing The diameter of the field of view can help you estimate
actual size of objects / cells seen through the microscope.
When the revolving nose piece is turned to the low power objective lens, a dear plastic ruler can be placed on the microscope stage (see figure 1).
Then, the coarse adjustment knob can be used to focus on the millimeter marks of the ruler making sure that one of the milimeter marks is at the left
edge of the field of view (see figure 2).
NOTE:

PROCEDURE:
1. Set two pencils down parallel from each other. Make them about 2-3 inches apart as the length of your slides to keep
things easy.
2. Stick a long piece of tape over the
two pencils and to the table on either
side of the pencils to hold the tape
tightly between the two pencils like
a bridge.
3. Don’t touch the sticky side of the
tape or you will ruin the microscope.
Drop a small drop of water onto the
top of the tape using the pipette or
medicine dropper.
4. Make 3-4 lines of tape and add a
different-sized drop to each one.
This will help determine what size
of water droplet produces the biggest
magnification.
5. Prepare a rectangular shape of plastic cover. Put a small slice of onion.
Slide the rectangular shape of the plastic cover with the small slice of onion under the pieces of tape and observe the size
of the onion on different droplets. Write your observations on the table below.
