Using a Microscope

Science · Organisms & Life Processes · procedural

Use a light microscope correctly to prepare, focus, and examine biological specimens, including making accurate labelled drawings at an appropriate magnification

Sign in to track this

What mastery looks like

  • Sets up a light microscope safely and correctly (course focus then fine focus)
  • Prepares a wet mount slide with a biological specimen (e.g. onion skin)
  • Calculates the magnification of an image (magnification = image size ÷ actual size)
  • Draws an accurate labelled diagram of observed cells with a scale

Check your understanding

If Using a Microscope had to use a school microscope to study a biological specimen, could they set it up correctly, find what they're looking for, and produce a labelled scientific drawing of what they see?
