HOW TO USE A MICROSOPE

In order to use a microscope you follow these easy steps....

1.    Get a plastic pipet (it looks lika an eye dropper) and get a slide ready.

2.    Next, you suck up a little water in the pipet.

3.    Then squeeze  your tank water sample onto the slide

4.    Put the slide onto the stage of the microscope.



5.    Adjust the light and the focus knobs until the view of the slide is clear

6.    Move the slides around to see the oganisms.

7.    Look through the eye peice.
 

If you want to, you can take notes on the animals and watch them and note differences. Be sure you keep the organisms in a vial with the water you found them in, or put them back where you found them in the proper tank.
