Compound Microscope
Lab
Directions: 1. Obtain a compound microscope and one of the slide sets (1,2,3, or 4)
2. Look at the samples from your slide set under low, medium and high power.
3. Look through all of the photos on the following pages and identify each slide
from your set by specimen number. Note: there a few extra photos not found in your slide sets.
4. Place the specimen number for each slide in your set next to the specimen name on the right. Place all answers on this page (first page ).
5. Return your slide set and try another.
Remember: Never use coarse focus when in high power!!
