Point the mirror directly to the sun
- B.
Look at tiny organisms
- C.
Allow your partner to look through it as well
- D.
Clip the slides correctly
Correct Answer
A. Point the mirror directly to the sunExplanation
When using a microscope, it is important not to point the mirror directly to the sun. This is because the intense light from the sun can damage the microscope and potentially harm the user's eyes. The mirror in a microscope is used to reflect light onto the specimen, but directing sunlight through the microscope can cause excessive heat and potentially lead to a fire. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid pointing the mirror directly at the sun while using a microscope.Rate this question:

Tongs should be used in the lab when working with hot objects because they provide a safe way to handle materials that are too hot to touch with bare hands. Tongs have insulated handles that protect the user from burns and allow them to grip and manipulate hot objects without direct contact. This helps to prevent accidents and injuries in the lab and ensures the safety of the experimenter.Rate this question:
