The document outlines the main parts of a microscope including the eyepiece, body tube, nosepiece, objectives, arm, stage, stage clips, diaphragm, coarse and fine adjustment knobs, light source, and base. It provides instructions for using a microscope, such as carrying it with two hands, using lens paper for cleaning, and adjusting the coarse focus knob to bring the slide into view. Magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece magnification by the objective magnification.

15. Magnification
Multiply the eyepiece magnification
(10X) by the objective magnification
(4X, 10X, 40X)
Example: 4 x 10 = 40X total

16. How to use a microscope
Place the slide on the stage
Use stage clips to secure slide
Adjust nosepiece to lowest setting
(Lowest = shortest objective)
Look into eyepiece
Use coarse focus knob
