1.PLACE THE SMALLEST OBJECTIVE LENS ( THE LOWEST MAGNIFICATION ) OVER THE HOLE IN THE STAGE.TURN THE COARSE FOCUSING WHEEL TO MAKE THE GAP BETWEEN THE OBJECTIVE LENS AND THE STAGE AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE.

2.PLACE THE SLIDE UNDER THE CLIPS ON THE STAGE.THIS CONTAINS THE SPECIMEN ( THE THING YOU WANT TO LOOK AT)

3. LOOK THROUGH THE EYEPIECE LENS.TURN THE COURSE FOCUSING WHEEL SLOWLY UNTIL WHAT YOU SEE IS IN FOCUS ( CLEAR AND SHARP )

4.TO SEE A IMAGE, PLACE THE NEXT LARGEST OBJECTIVE LENS OVER YOUR SPECIMEN.

5.USE THE FINE FOCUSING WHEEL TO GET YOUR IMAGE FORCUS AGAIN.DO NOT USE THE COAURSE FOCUSING WHEEL SINCE YOU CAN BREAK THE SLIDE AND DAMAGE THE OBJECTIVE LENS.IF YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GO BACK TO A LOWER MAGNIFICATION.
