3. Use the SCANNING (4x) objective to focus, then move the mechanical stage around to scan the slide for live microorganisms. You are looking for tiny swimming beings- they may look green or clear and might be very small. Choose one to focus on and center it in your visual field.

2. Use the SCANNING (4x) objective and course focus adjustment to focus, then move the mechanical stage around to find the threads.

5. Once you have centered and focused the image, switch to high power (40x) and refocus. Note movements and draw the organism as you see it.

Regular eye exams are an important part of preventive healthcare. Many eye and vision conditions present no obvious symptoms, so most people are unaware that a problem exists.

A large part of the learning process of microscopy is getting used to the orientation of images viewed through the oculars as opposed to with the naked eye. A common mistake is moving the mechanical stage the wrong way to find the specimen. This procedure is merely practice designed to make new users more comfortable with using the microscope.

A microscope is an instrument that magnifies an object so that it may be seen by the observer. Because cells are usually too small to see with the naked eye, a microscope is an essential tool in the field of biology. In addition to magnification, microscopes also provide resolution, which is the ability to distinguish two nearby objects as separate. A combination of magnification and resolution is necessary to clearly view specimens under the microscope. The light microscope bends a beam of light at the specimen using a series of lenses to provide a clear image of the specimen to the observer.

4. Switch to low power (10x). This may be sufficient to view your chosen organism. Try to note how it moves and do your best to draw it as you see it, unless you need more magnification.

1. Using the transfer pipette, transfer a drop of pond water onto a microscope slide. The best specimens usually come from the bottom and probably will contain chunks of algae or other debris that you can see with your naked eye.

Contact lenses are designed for easy wear and comfort, so they should not hurt your eyes. If they do, you should talk to your eye doctor as soon as possible. Alcon’s family of contact lenses are created with advanced technologies designed to give you a comfortable contact lens wearing experience.

Whether it’s nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia or astigmatism—these common vision problems prevent your eyes from properly focusing on light. Each can be corrected with contact lenses. Learn more about how they can affect your vision differently.

Multifocal contact lenses are made for people with presbyopia, usually worn by those over 40. They are designed so that the wearer can see things sharply near, intermediate and far away.

2. Use the SCANNING (4x) objective and course focus adjustment to focus, then move the mechanical stage around to find the letter “e”. Note the orientation when viewed through the oculars.

Your microscope has 4 objective lenses: Scanning (4x), Low (10x), High (40x), and Oil Immersion (100x). In this lab, you will not use the oil immersion lens; it is for viewing microorganisms and requires technical instructions not covered in this procedure.

2. Always start with the stage as low as possible and using scanning objective (4x). Odds are, you will be able to see something on this setting (sometimes it’s only a color). Use the coarse knob to focus: the image may be small at this magnification, but you won't be able to find it on the higher powers without this first step. Move the mechanical stage until your focused image is also centered.

3. Once you've focused using the scanning objective, switch to the low power objective (10x). Use the coarse knob to refocus and move the mechanical stage to re-center your image. Again, if you haven't focused on this level, you will not be able to move to the next level.

In addition to the objective lenses, the ocular lens (eyepiece) has a magnification. The total magnification is determined by multiplying the magnification of the ocular and objective lenses.

Contact lens options differ by lifestyle, length of time they’re meant to be worn and replaced, and the type of vision correction needed. There are many varieties of contact lenses, but your eye doctor can help you decide which lens is right for you.

If your health insurance plan includes vision coverage, you’re usually fully or partially covered. Benefits provided by vision coverage often include a contact lens discount (e.g., 15% off) at participating retail stores, or directly from an eye doctor. Other plans may offer an annual allowance to cover the cost of your contact lenses and an eye exam. Contact your individual insurer to find out about your specific coverage.

This portion of the procedure is another practice to demonstrate depth perception. Many new microscope users find it difficult to conceive that the specimen on the slide is in three dimensions. As the stage is moved up and down, different threads will be in focus.

Though the cost of contact lenses varies based on individual vision needs and duration of lens wear, Alcon offers contact lenses that can fit your budget and your vision needs. Alcon also offers a free* trial on most of its contact lenses, so you can try before you buy.
