Day 2
I.Target
Given the necessary materials, 75% of the
students should be able to:
1. Discuss the appearance of specimen when
observed under the microscope
2. Enumerate ways to take good care of the
microscope
3. Compute for the magnification of microscope
4. Appreciate the importance of microscope
II. Learning Task
A. Second Quarter: Living Things and their
Environment
B. Topic: Module 2: Making a Wet Mount
Activity 3 Part B
C. Concepts:
 Specimen is a part or sample of any material
for study or examination under the
microscope.
 Specimen should be small and thin for light
to pass through them.
 Specimen appears inverted when observed
under the microscope.
 After every use of the microscope, prepare it
for storage following these steps:
1. Turn the revolving nosepiece until the LPO is
in place.
2. Lower down the body tube so that the end of
the objective is
approximately 1 cm above the stage.
3. Position the clips so that they do not extend
beyond the sides of the
stage.
4. Rotate the diaphragm until the smallest
opening is in position.
5. Let the mirror stand on its edge with the
concave side facing the user
to protect it from dust.
6. Some microscope boxes have a socket for the
eyepiece. In this case,
remove the eyepiece from the body tube and
place it in the socket.
7. Put back the microscope’s plastic cover. If the
original plastic cover
has been lost or destroyed, use any clean plastic
bag big enough to
cover the microscope.
8. Carry the microscope using both hands. Put it
back in its case or storage cabinet or return it to
your teacher.
 How to take care of this tool for an efficient
and longer use:
1. Check the microscope before and after use.
Report any missing or
damaged part to your teacher.
2. Use a clean tissue paper or soft cloth like old
t-shirt to clean the
mechanical parts of the microscope.
3. Prevent liquids, especially acids and alcohol
from spilling on any part
of the microscope. Always use a cover slip in
observing wet mounts.
4. Check for moisture (such as from
condensation of human breath) in
the eyepiece. This may happen due to prolonged
observation of
specimens. Wipe with lens paper.
5. Avoid tilting the microscope while observing
wet mounts. Water might
flow into the mechanical parts of the microscope
causing them to rust.
Select a chair with suitable height so that both
forearms can be rested
on the table during observation.
6. Never store the microscopes in a chemical
laboratory or any place
where there are corrosive fumes. Make sure
there are silica get packs
inside microscope boxes or storage cabinet to
absorb moisture.
