What happens to the orientation of the E in the field of view?
Remove the slide and view the letter “e” with the naked eye. Compare the orientation of the letter “e” as viewed through the microscope with the letter “e” viewed with the naked eye on the slide. This demonstrates that in addition to being magnified the image is inverted….

Which part of the microscope would you manipulate?
Answer: Revolving Nosepiece or Turret: This is the part of the microscope that holds two or more objective lenses and can be rotated to easily change power (magnification).
Which adjustment knob is used with high power?
Fine Adjustment Knob
Which objective lens is always used first?
ALWAYS use both hands when picking the microscope up and moving it from one place to another. 3. When focusing on a slide, ALWAYS start with either the 4X or 10X objective. Once you have the object in focus, then switch to the next higher power objective.
Why is it important to use the coarse adjustment at low power only?
This will make it easier to prevent crashing the objective lens into the slide. 5. Coarse and fine adjustment The coarse adjustment knob should only be used with the lowest power objective lens. Using the coarse focus with higher lenses may result in crashing the lens into the slide.
Which activity might lead to damage of a microscope and specimen?
Here is the correct answer of the given question above about the microscope and specimen. The activity that might lead to the damage of a microscope and the specimen is when using the coarse adjustment to focus the specimen under high power.
What did the microscope do to the image of the letter E?
– The letter “e” – The viewing of this familiar letter will provide practice in orienting the slide and using the objective lenses. The letter appears upside down and backwards because of two sets of mirrors in the microscope.
Why do we see inverted image in microscope?
The reason compound microscopes invert images lies in the focal length of the objective lens. The image focused by the lens crosses before the eyepiece further magnifies what the observer sees, and the objective lens inverts the image because of the lens’ curvature. This real image is inverted at the focal length.
