Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the  How do we calculate the magnification of a specimen?
new lesson
 

 After every using the microscope, how will you store it?
B. Establishing a purpose for the Lesson Ask students to suggest on how to store microscope
properly.

Presenting examples / instances of the  Do the activity in LM p 89 “Handle with Care”

new lesson Procedure
  1. Turn the revolving nosepiece until the LPO is in
place.
2. Lower down the body tube so that the end of the
objective is approximately 1cm above the stage.
3. Position the clips so that they do not extend beyond
the sides of the stage.
4. Rotate the diaphragm until the smallest opening is in
position.
5. Let the mirror stand on its edge with the concave
side facing the user.
 6. Remove the eyepiece from the body tube and place
it in the socket.
7. Put back the microscope’s plastic cover.
 Discuss the answers in the activity given.
D.
 Analysis:
1. Why do you have to put the LPO in place and not the
HPO?
2. Why is it needed to have at least 1cm distance
between the objective and stage?
Discussing new concepts and practicing
3. Why do the stage clips should not extend beyond the

  sides of the stage before storing the microscope?
4. What could be avoided if you let the mirror stand on its
edge with the concave side facing the user?
5. What is the proper way of handling the microscope?
6. Why is it important for us to know how to take care the
microscope?

_____2. Store the microscope in a clean and dry place.
_____3. Before storing the microscope, lower down the body
tube until the objective touches the stage.
I. Evaluating Learning
_____4. To carry the microscope, grasp the arm with one hand
and support the base with the other hand.
_____5. While observing wet mounts, you may use the
inclination joint to tilt the microscope.
