You are observing a new slide that you made using microbiological staining techniques. When you look through the eyepieces, all you see is complete darkness. Taking into account potential sources of error when operating a microscope, what should you check before calling your instructor to ask why nothing is visible? Check all that apply. Check All That Apply Make sure that the light source is turned on and the microscope is plugged in. Adjust the intensity of the light source. Remove the ocular lenses and clean away any fingerprints thoroughly with lens paper. Make sure that the diaphragm is open. Check to see that an objective lens is fully set into place over the slide.
