If 100x objective is in place, what is the total magnification of the specimen in place? It would be 1000x. Steps for obtaining the best image Start with the 6 objective or low-power objective, if scanning is not available, using the 7 focus knob. Fine focus to make the image sharper DO NOT READJUST THE COURSE FOCUS KNOB. Adjust 8 distance and diopter adjustment. Adjust the light settings to get the best image. Change the objective lens for next higher magnification, by rotating that nose 9. Use the 10 focus knob for sharper image. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have visualized your slide with the 40x objective. After you are confident that you visualized microorganisms at 40x, you are ready to move to 100x or 11 objective. To do so, hover the objectives between 40x and 100x by rotating the nose piece and place a single drop of immersion oil on the slide. Gently rotate the nose piece to place 100x objective on place. Use the 12 focus knob for sharper image. 13. Resolution or resolving power of a lens is its ability to
