Now it is time to look at some things you already know about, but in a way you have never seen them before.

​

1. Find various “prepared slides” that seem interesting to you.
2. Focus them under the microscope using the low power objective.
3. Create microscope drawings of the slides you choose - some using the low power (4x or 5x) objective lens and some using the high power (10x) objective lens.

DO NOT USE THE 40X OBJECTIVE LENS FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT.
