Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When looking at a specimen on your slide, you should always start with the ____ to find your object.
A
scanning objective lens
B
low objective lens
C
high objective lens
D
oil immersion power lens
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In this regard, scientists use a microscope to help them magnify tiny objects. However, after the specimen is placed on the slide, starting with the low-power objective lens is essential to help position the specimen being observed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which Microscope Objective Should I Start With? Start Low! Since the 4x objective lens has the least magnification, but a larger field of view, it allows for more of the specimen to be seen, as well as locating the part of the sample you wish to view. This in turn makes it easier to focus on the sample.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is important to use the scanning microscope first because it will give you an overview of the specimen in the slide, so that later on when you move to a higher magnification, it will be easier for you to look for a specific spot you want to focus in your slide.
