investigation1 notes using a microscope to make observations. notes: pre - lab questions: 2. describe the proper way to carry a microscope? 3. the difference between magnification and resolution. 4. identify which objective lens you always begin with to locate a specimen on your slide

Explanation:

1. To carry a microscope properly, hold it with one hand on the arm and the other hand under the base for support and stability.
2. Magnification is the ratio of the size of the image to the size of the actual object, increasing apparent size. Resolution is the ability to distinguish two close - together objects as separate entities, related to clarity and detail.
3. When locating a specimen on a slide, you always begin with the low - power objective lens (usually 4x or 10x) as it provides a wider field of view to easily find the specimen.

Answer:

1. Hold with one hand on arm and one under base.
2. Magnification: ratio of image to object size; Resolution: ability to distinguish close objects.
3. Low - power objective lens.
