Below are the following steps that the students will follow:

1. Click explore.

2. Click the question mark for the slide catalogue.

3. Choose any slides the students want to explore.

Compound Microscope - A compound microscope is an optical device that uses two

sets of lenses (objective and ocular) to magnify an object. It provides a bright, two-
dimensional image, and is commonly used to study cells and tissues.

Handling and Storing a Compound Microscope

 12

Remember H.A.N.D.L.E. for handling and S.T.O.R.E. for storing:

H.A.N.D.L.E.

1. Hold with two hands

2. Avoid touching lenses
3. Note any damage
4. Delicately clean
5. Limit moisture exposure
6. Ensure stability

S.T.O.R.E.

1. Set to Low Power Objective

2. Take off eyepiece
3. Over it with a case
4. Return to storage area
5. Ensure dry environment

Scope It Out: Relay edition

The teacher will divide the students into 2 groups and will assign them to demonstrate
the proper handling and the proper storage of the microscope in a relay format. The
student will follow the acronyms and while act while showing a representation of a part
of the microscope (Example: This is a lens *showing a mirror* you should not touch
this)
