Detailed explanation-1: -Always start with the stage as low as possible and using scanning objective (4x). Odds are, you will be able to see something on this setting (sometimes it’s only a color).
Detailed explanation-2: -When using a microscope, you should always start with the lowest power objective when first viewing a specimen. Typically light microscopes have 4x, 10, 40x, and 100x objectives, therefore, you should start with the 4x objective.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is (D): 4x (scanning objective). It is imperative to store the microscope with the stage in its lowest position and the scanning objective in place. This will protect the higher magnification lenses from damage by getting too close to the stage.
