hand and the stage with the other hand.
D. Hold the arm by grasping with one
hand and the base with the other hand. 10. Which of the following should you NOT do
while using the microscope?
5. How many objective lenses are there in a
compound microscope? A. Use low power objectives lens first.
B. Use stage clips to hold the slide
A. 1 B. 3 C. 6 D. 12 in place.
C. Use direct sunlight when mirror is
the light source.
 D. Use fine adjustment only under
the high-power objective.
11. Which of the following is NOT a proper
method for handling microscopes?

B. Always use fine adjustment
when using high power.
C. Remove the slide before putting
the microscope away.
D. Never clean the objectives with
anything but lens paper.
12. Jose just finished using the microscope after
his science class. He cleans the materials he
used. In cleaning the slides, is it advisable to use
rough fabric?
A. No, because it can create a
scratch on the glass slide.
B. No, because it can spread the
color of the fabric to the glass slide.
C. Yes, because if you only use a
soft fabric it cannot get the stain
from the glass slide.
D. Yes, because rough fabrics are
made for cleaning the stains and
maintaining the shape of the glass
slides.
