Microscopy MICROSCOPY PRE-LAB QUESTIONS 1. Of the four major types of microscopes, give an example of a scenario in which each would be the ideal choice for visualizing a sample. 2. What is the difference between the coarse adjustment knob and the fine adjustment knob? When is it appropriate to use each of them? 3. If you are using a compound microscope with an ocular lens with a magnification of 10x and an objective lens with a magnification of 40x, what is the total magnification? 4. In this lab, we discussed preparation of a wet mount slide. Research and describe another slide preparation and an example of when it would be used.

7. In your own words, describe the steps that you would take to view a bacterial sample under 1000X magnification using the oil immersion objective. Assume that you have already prepared a microscope slide with stained cells. 8. List the steps that you should take to put the microscope away after you have used it to view a specimen under oil immersion.
