Technique and Procedure
		Focusing with the Low Power Objective Low power objectives cover a wide field of view and they are useful for examining large specimens or surveying many smaller specimens. This objective is useful for aligning the microscope. The power for the low objective is 10X. Place one of the prepared slides onto the stage of your microscope. Make sure that the specimen is centered over the stage aperture. The light source should be adjusted to medium intensity, the condenser about three-fourths of the way up and the iris should be almost closed. Rotate the low power objective into place over the specimen. While looking from the side, crank the specimen up as close as it can get to the objective. Next
