How to Make a Wet-Mount Slide 1. Get a clean slide and cover slip from your teacher. 2. Place ONE drop of water/iodine in the middle of the slide. Don’t use too much or the water will run off the edge and make a mess! 3. Place the edge of the cover slip on one side of the water/iodine drop. 4. Slowly lower the cover slip on top of the drop. 5. Place the slide on the stage and view it first with the LOW power objective. Once you see the image, you can rotate the nosepiece to view the slide with the different objectives.
Let’s give it a try. . . 1. 2. 3. Turn on the microscope and then rotate the nosepiece to click the LOW power objective into place. Place a slide on the stage and secure it using the stage clips. Use the coarse adjustment knob (large knob) to get the image into view and then use the fine adjustment knob (small knob) to make it clearer. Once you have the image in view, rotate the nosepiece to view it under different powers. Draw what you see on a piece of paper. BE CAREFUL WITH THE LARGEST OBJECTIVE! Sometimes there is not enough room and you will not be able to use it!
