CHAPTER IL 



MANIPULATION AND CARE OF THE MICRO- 

 SCOPE. 



1. In taking an instrument from the case, grasp it 

 by the base and pillar. 



2. Free it from dust, with the paper supplied. 



3. Place the instrument on the worktable, with the 

 opening of the base from you. 



4. Place your eye over the eyepiece, and at the same 

 time manipulate the reflector until you get a good 

 light. 



5. Place the object to be examined on the stage and 

 lower the objective to a point just above the slide and 

 cover-glass, with your head on a level with the stage 

 while doing so. 



6. Now regulate the light by means of the dia- 

 phragm. 



7. Place your eye over the eyepiece and rack up- 

 wards until you reach the point where you can see the 

 object. 



8. Note what you see in your notebook. 



9. Make drawings of what you see.
