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
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.
