Turn the revolving turret (2) so that the lowest power objective lens (eg. 4x) is clicked into position.
Place the microscope slide on the stage (6) and fasten it with the stage clips.
Look at the objective lens (3) and the stage from the side and turn the focus knob (4) so the stage moves upward. Move it up as far as it will go without letting the objective touch the coverslip.
Look through the eyepiece (1) and move the focus knob until the image comes into focus.
Adjust the condenser (7) and light intensity for the greatest amount of light.
Move the microscope slide around until the sample is in the centre of the field of view (what you see).
Use the focus knob (4) to place the sample into focus and readjust the condenser (7) and light intensity for the clearest image (with low power objectives you might need to reduce the light intensity or shut the condenser).
When you have a clear image of your sample with the lowest power objective, you can change to the next objective lenses. You might need to readjust the sample into focus and/or readjust the condenser and light intensity. If you cannot focus on your specimen, repeat steps 3 through 5 with the higher power objective lens in place. Do not let the objective lens touch the slide!
When finished, lower the stage, click the low power lens into position and remove the slide.
Your microscope slide should be prepared with a coverslip over the sample to protect the objective lenses if they touch the slide.
Do not touch the glass part of the lenses with your fingers. Use only special lens paper to clean the lenses.
Always keep your microscope covered when not in use.
Always carry a microscope with both hands. Grasp the arm with one hand and place the other hand under the base for support.
Answer:
Phosphates are critical part of life because of the diverse roles they perform in the lives of living organisms, especially in DNA and RNA molecules.
Phosphates are formed from two elements, phosphorus and oxygen. Phosphorus is a very important element that play a crucial roles in the formation of bones and teeth. It is also plays vital roles in carbohydrate metabolism, fat metabolism, protein synthesis and repair of worn out tissues. Oxygen on the other hand is required for oxidation of biological fuel and for breathing.
Phosphates are usually formed from one atom of phosphorus and four atoms of oxygen, it has the chemical formula PO4. Phosphate is an important component of DNA and RNA molecules, phosphates hold these molecules together. Phosphate molecule is also found in ATP, which is the energy currency of living cells.
TCS food must be cooled from 135 to 70 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT in the first two hours.
TCS foods are those foods which require time-temperature control in order to prevent the growth of microbes and production of toxins in the foods. These foods are more likely to become unsafe than other foods because they allow rapid growth of micro organism.
Mutations. Definition. A Mutationoccurs when a DNA gene is damaged or changed in such a way as to alter the genetic message carried by that gene. A Mutagen is an agent of substance that can bring about a permanent alteration to the physical composition of a DNA gene such that the genetic message is changed
