Detailed explanation-1: -Turn off the light switch on a microscope before unplug the electric cord.

Objective lenses are usually 4x, 10x, 40x, and 100x magnifications.

Detailed explanation-3: -Switch the light off with the on and off switch, usually located on the back of your microscope’s base. Leaving the light on is a safety hazard.
