5. Condition and prepare viewed objects
This microscope features transmitted light, so that transparent speci-
mens can be examined.
If opaque specimens are being examined, the light from below goes
through the specimen, lens and eyepiece to the eye and is magnified en
route (direct light principle).
Some small water organisms, plant parts and animal components are
transparent by nature, but many others require pretreatment — that is,
you need to make a thinnest possible slice of the object by hand cutting
or using a microtome, and then examine this sample.
