nObserve how close the high power (40x)
objective is to the stage when in position. The scanner (4x) is the
farthest.
nThis means that when using the
40x objective, one has to be extremely careful in using the focusing knobs. Never use the
coarse adjustment (outer) knob when using the 40x objective. Even slight
movement can cause the slide to hit the lens. An objective lens is expansive,
and a damaged slide may be irreplaceable.
nOnce again, remember to use the ring to
turn the nose piece!
